Awful Parents ? maybe. Awful inconsistencies ? YES

So, there's this couple in Minnesota and they believe that they should be able to determine the best "life" for their child. After having consulted with a Dr and following his prescribed treatment, they have decided to stop and to instead go their own way and follow their own path. They have decided that they would rather not have this greatly promised extended time with their child.


They have decided to go to an abortionist in order to painfully and horrendously exterminate their child.

Oh, but, you will never hear of any Judge getting involved to stop this neglectful and dangerous act.

However, there is another couple in Minnesota that have been found to be doing something far worse. It must be considered worse, a Judge has ordered it stopped - they have decided to stop the chemotherapy treatments on their son. In that case, a Judge most certainly has stepped in to over-ride their parental authority.

Have they chosen the better path ? That is uncertain. What is certain is the judge that got involved, has chosen a bad path. One filled with pitfalls and quicksand.


Have I found a textbook definition of hypocrisy ? I believe so.

Truer Words Have Yet To Be Spoken

Thank You Archbishop Burke.

“there is no element of the common good, no morally good practice, which a candidate may promote and to which a voter may be dedicated, which could justify voting for a candidate who also endorses and supports the deliberate killing of the unborn, euthanasia or the recognition of a same-sex relationship as a legal marriage. The respect for the inviolable dignity of innocent human life and for the integrity of marriage and the family are so fundamental to the common good that they cannot be subordinated to any other cause, no matter how good it may be.”

It is truly a shame of historical proportions that it even needed to be said.

It is a greater shame that it hadn't been said sooner.

Now, where does that fit into your BS full-of-lies liberal Catholicism ?

Come back to the Church Kmiec-ians. There is a reason that Reconciliation is a Sacrament. It is needed by us all.

Why is it so hard to read the whole story first ?

When a Bishop speaks out on any subject he does so in one of two capacities; he is either speaking as a citizen, solely for himself, or, he is speaking as a successor to the original 12 Apostles of Jesus, therefore as the leader of his flock. The amazing thing about the flock he is to shepherd is that it includes those that have no idea they are members, even those that reject all that for which he stands.

Are all Bishops excellent examples of The Shepherd ? No. They are, much like ourselves, shown to be: Lacking in the stewarding of the planet. Lacking in the guardianship of our children. Lacking in the keeping of our brothers. Those facts, however, do not diminish their calling to shepherd. Neither does it diminish their calling to preach the Gospel, as was once so brilliantly stated, using words if necessary.

In the great State of Louisiana, the Bishops Conference is concerned about some legislation that was to be introduced regarding immigrants. When legislation is proposed, it usually is designed with only the intended effects in mind. The Bishop’s of LA have a duty to their flock to speak about the unintended consequences of actions as much as the intended bad results of actions. Keep in mind that to a Catholic Bishop, EVERYONE in the boundaries of his Diocese is in his flock-it is his solemn duty to care for each and every one of them. Not, as is the case of a Legislator, as far as the next election is concerned, but in all manners of life, insofar as the next life is concerned.

Those things are too much for some to accept, and far too much for some to tolerate, especially when they overrreact before they understand the Bishops' reasons.

Maybe, next time, Laura, you will read the whole story before you overreact.


UPDATE: When I first went to Pursuing Holiness, it was to read Mindless Bag Of Hormones Spouts Off, so, I should have known she was inclined to overstate a point, or two. But, after reading Obama: Sorry for stopping you from killing any more filthy Jooos, Germany!, I am now certain that overreacting, without reading the story,(or is it without comprehending the story) is her schtick. I can hardly wait to see how much traction her reasoning gets. 'Cause we all know that without fire-bombing Dresden back to the stone-age the gas chambers wouldn't have been stopped. Anyhow, a great site to hang out in, but, wear your gloves so your knuckles don't get scraped.

Pro-Family Abortion

If there were ever need for more proof that the left is completely without the vaguest idea of how to think, here it is

It is time for abortion rights advocates to include a “pro-family” context in their conversations about reproductive rights, according to Malika Saada Saar, executive director of the Rebecca Project for Human Rights. Saar said that much of her generation views the abortion-rights movement as “anti-family” and “anti-child.”

That is without doubt the stupidest combination of opposite meanings since George Orwell's own famous "1984"s Newspeak fully showed what doublespeak is and how it can be used to success.

Is reading even taught is schools ? Surely how to think is not ! Only what to think !

God help us. If these simpletons ever get control of two of three branches of Government - I shudder.

Oh, they do have control of two.

Prayer and Fasting

Pray with out ceasing.

The Congress that does not look like America

Remember when candidate Clinton promised America that his cabinet would look like America ? Remember how he appointed a host of underqualified people just to keep that promise ?

It would seem that the LATimes would like something very similar in the halls of Congress. This time not just looks. So, some things are too PC, even for the left.

No, this time the concern is the over-representation of admitted followers of Judeo-Christian faiths. Yep. Too many Jews and Christians. But, not just that, oh no.

WAY too many Jews and Catholics and (egads!)
Mormons – oh, my !

Catholics, Jews, Mormons overrepresented in Congress, study finds

If only there weren't so many of them, the left would get even more destructive policies through even faster.

I wonder how "Happy" Harry Reid feels about the attacks on his Church.
He has either been very silent, or he has said things that won't satisfy the editorial boards-anywhere. Where are you "Happy" ? Speak up.
