What good is it to stand and say abortion's evil, when you're participating by alloiwing pro-abort's to receive Communion.Joe of St. Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506671882770822003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-65447604720483472752008-11-13T00:13:00.000+00:002008-11-13T00:13:00.000+00:00What's also interesting is that all of this took p...What's also interesting is that all of this took place in public - the whole debate was relayed on EWTN - and fascinating viewing it was too.<BR/><BR/>What a contrast between the US bishops and our own. In the US, the bishops are happy to debate in public; the flock get to see what their bishops think. The bishops in the US are clearly an open and faith-filled bunch, even when they disagree.<BR/><BR/>Here in the UK, our lot are behind closed doors at Hinsley Hall. How many of us even know our bishops are having their twice-yearly meeting, never mind the fact that we never get told anything meaningful about what takes place at the meeting? One gets the impression that they are rather closed in on themsleves and, perhaps, a bit afraid of themselves. Can you imagine any of them congratulating Bishop O'Donaghue, for example, even in private?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-35594672684839229852008-11-12T21:59:00.000+00:002008-11-12T21:59:00.000+00:00The politicians in the USA will use the excuse tha...The politicians in the USA will use the excuse that they must not act on principles promoted by religion that are not shared by the wider electorate. Such an excuse would have stopped Wilberforce in England from abolishing the slave trade, and kept slavery in the USA safe from the Abolitionists. It would have prevented Shaftesbury in England from promoting his reforms which went against Classical Economics. It means that Christian politicians are barred from acting according to their consciences., and nullifies any Social teaching by any church.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-41310583212556916022008-11-12T20:40:00.000+00:002008-11-12T20:40:00.000+00:00Did you read what Bishop Hollis said ? utterly dep...Did you read what Bishop Hollis said ? utterly depressing and outrageous...On the side of the angelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05558623489507006790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-88449591028155089732008-11-12T14:03:00.000+00:002008-11-12T14:03:00.000+00:00The USCCB is like the UN all 10 gallon hat and no ...The USCCB is like the UN all 10 gallon hat and no cattle. If they actually MEANT what they said, Biden wouldn't receive Communion until he saw the error of his ways. Ditto Pelosi, et al. Why Congress would need to fund alternative fuel research I have no idea, given the amount of hot air blown around by the bishops.<BR/><BR/>It's not enough to "say something" - DO SOMETHING.
