The Catholic Standard (Archdiocese of Washington DC) article praising Montgomery County Councilmember Marilyn Praisner is just replete with quotes made by members of the Catholic Church. Each time I read it, I find something new to write about. I am so glad I did not drop my subscription, this is the article that keeps on giving.
Msgr. Kazista (Pastor of St. John the Baptist Church Silver Spring MD) states that Praisner:
“put into practice …the Christian virtues of social justice, concern for children, their social welfare, their health. In her work, she showed concern for God’s creation and the environment."
First, note that Msgr. did not use the word “Catholic.” I find that in and of it self, interesting. In fact, he only uses the term Christian throughout the article.
Second, if she was so concerned for children, then why was she pro-abortion? Killing the unborn is not what I call being concerned for God’s creation.
Yet, Msgr. KaZista (and I do not know him, never met him) seems either to be ignorant of this or just ignores it.
Third, if she was so concerned for the children, then why did she vote for the Transgender Bill, which will allow men who are dressed as women into locker rooms? It has been reported that there have already been at least three incidents in the county.
Fourth, if she was so concerned about Christian virtues, then why did she not put an exemption for religious institutions into the Transgender Bill. There are none. We may be faced with a situation where a Catholic school will be sued for not hiring someone who is transgender.
Yet again, either Msgr. Kazista is either (1) ignorant of the Transgender Law (2) decided to ignore it and/or (3) is a silent supporter of it.
This leads me to once again point out that those who have been tasked to lead the faithful, are not only leading the faithful astray but making a mockery of those who attempt to live by their faith.
So, let me go back to my original question: What is Msgr. Kazista thinking? I think that the answer is that he is not.
All I can say is that Msgr. Kazista should be ashamed of himself.

The MCC praises a Pro-Abortion/Anti-Family Politician
An Open Letter to Mary McGinnity, Director of the Dept. of Social Concerns, Maryland Catholic Conference:
I just read your comments in the Catholic Standard (Feb. 14, 2008 Page 38) about Marilyn Praisner, Montgomery County Council. I almost fell out of my chair. Here is what you said:
“Praisner kept her faith private and did not use it to advance her political agenda.”
Did I read your statement correctly? She claims to be a Catholic, is lauded by you, and yet did not let her faith guide her actions on the Council.
Are we not called upon to live our faith in our daily lives? Or is that just a big lie? We are called upon each and every day to live our faith and yet, she is given a pass because she is a politician?
I guess that explains her pro-abortion stance and allowing the Montgomery Council Transgender Bill to pass. .
It is a very sad day, when a representative of the advocacy arm of the Archdiocese of Washington, says such things.
This is just another fine example of why Archbishop Wuerl must fire Dick Dowling and the key staff at the MCC.

An Open Letter to the Editor of the Catholic Standard
Dear Mr. Zimmerman:
I just received my copy of the Catholic Standard (Feb. 14, 2007) and was very disappointed with your article on Marilyn Praisner (page 18).
No where did you mention her 100% support of abortion, which was very publicly attested to in the 2006 advertisement in the Annapolis Capital paper on the 33rd Anniversary of Roe v Wade. No where did you mention, her being honored by the National Organization for Women (NOW)
In addition, there was no mention of the Montgomery Country Transgender Bill which was passed late last year. Here is a bill that has no exemption for religious institutions, which means that Catholic schools, hospitals, etc., maybe held liable for not hiring someone who is transgender.
It is important that as the editor we should not have been praising someone who is 100% pro-abortion and helped to pass the Transgender Bill. It is insulting to me that the Maryland Catholic Conference praises her, as well as, the pastor of St. John the Baptist.
What type of message does that send to the faithful Roman Catholics of this Archdiocese? As someone who is pro-life and pro-family, it is a slap in my face. It is an insult.
What message does it send to the pro-abortion politicians? It sends is that if you are a politician, and pro-abortion, no problem. We will still support you and honor you.
Mr. Zimmerman, do the right thing and in the next issue of the Standard, state that it was wrong to honor and praise a person such as Praisner. Show that this is a paper that completely upholds pro-life values.
