When bishops and priests are hesitant in exercising their authority, the “father of lies” takes hold of the hearts and minds of the faithful, Bishop Samuel J. Aquila of Fargo warned recently.
“One must honestly ask, how many times and years may a Catholic politician vote for the so called ‘right to abortion’ … and still be able to receive Holy Communion?” the bishop said.
.
The continual reception of Communion by those who “so visibly contradict and promote a grave evil” creates “grave scandal” and undermines the teaching and governing authority of the Church, he warned. The faithful can interpret these actions as indifference to the teaching of Christ and the Church on the part of those who have “the responsibility to govern.
Is anyone in Hyattsville listening? Does anyone over there care?

Pro-Life Center vs. Pro-Abortion in Germantown
From LifeSite News: Pro-life groups have rented an office space directly across the parking lot from LeRoy Carhart’s new late-term abortion business in Germantown, Md. Operation Rescue and the Maryland Coalition for Life announced today that the office will act as a resource and referral center for vulnerable and needy pregnant and post-abortive women, and will be used as a place of prayer for pro-life supporters.

Catholics for Equality -- Not explaining the numbers
Now there are those of you who say I should ignore this group but it is always good to see what the "enemy" is saying. Recently, they put out a press release stating that 63% of all Catholics believe in "same-gender civil marriage." Now on the face it, you would go "wow." But, when you look at the press release, it does not ask if those questioned are "practicing Catholics" (regular Mass goers, etc.), "Christimas/Easter Catholics" or those who are baptised but not practicing Catholics. I would bet that when you get down to it, the numbers are really of those who are mostly the "Christmas/Easter" and "Baptised but not practicing" Catholics.

How stupid is VP Joe Biden
I have documented the Stupid Stuff said by VP Joe Biden, a Catholyc, who holds the second highest elected office in the US.
However, his comparison of cutting the budget to rape apologists, is simply disgusting.
Where are the all of the "progressive" catholycs? Where are all of the radical feminists?
The silence is amazing.
The man is a TOTAL IDIOT!

What a difference a Leftist President Makes!
With the war in Irag and Afghanistan, the photos of the Army "Kill Team" with the bodies of civilians and the military action in Libya, I was thinking (and that can be dangerous): Where is the Catholic Left?
Remember, just a few years ago, the Social Justice/Catholic Left crowd were writing letters to the editors, calling for the impeachment of President Bush, taking out full page ads, staging protests in front of the White House (remember Fr. Nangle), getting arrested, and keeping it in everybody's face.
So, my question to all of you are: Where the hell are you today?
All I hear is the sound of crickets.
Have you checked out the Pax Christi website? Nothing on Libya or Iraq. How about the Franciscan Peace Network? Not much on the war. Catholics United? Nope, nothing. NETWORK? A little on Afghanistan.
It seems that they are too busy worrying about illegal aliens, OBAMACARE and union thugs in Wisconsin. (Don't seem to see them condeming the death threats against the Republican state senators or the Governor, do we????)

Take a Stand & Vote for SB 505/HB 23
The pro-abortion side keeps talking about keeping abortion safe and legal. Just like they did in Pennsylvania with Philadelphia doctor Kermit Gosnell.
Well, here is the time for them to put up or shut up!
From the Maryland Catholic Conference:
Both the State Senate and the House of Delegates held very successful committee hearings on legislation to close the loophole for abortion clinics and regulate them as ambulatory surgical facilities. Dozens of witnesses presented details of how numerous women have been seriously injured or killed in Maryland abortion clinics, and those same witnesses presented evidence of how ambulatory surgical facility regulations would have prevented those injuries and deaths. Ms. Stephanie White gave moving testimony about how her daughter, Denise, died from an overdose of anesthesia at an Anne Arundel County abortion clinic.
One week has passed since the House committee hearing and three weeks have passed since the Senate committee hearing. Yet, no action has been taken. Please ask your senator and delegates to urge their colleagues on the Senate Finance Committee and the House Health & Government Operations Committee to support SB 505/HB 23. Action must be taken this year by the General Assembly to stop these preventable deaths and injuries.
This bill would ensure that abortion clinics actually have safety protocols in place so that they are prepared to handle situations when something goes wrong.

PS: Where are those good Catholyc Maryland politicians like: Gov. Martin O'Malley (Ganzaga boy and tells us he goes to Mass each day); Del. Robert Garagiola (D-Montgomery); House Speaker Michael E. Busch (D-Anne Arundel); and, Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr.
