My wife grew up in Plymouth, Michigan. We get there two or three times a year.

Keep the protests going. The Senior priest is a weeny and his Associate is a false teacher.

Sadly, I remember hearing a priest once remark during his sermon that he never liked to preach against abortion least he end up offending a parishioner of his who had one!

True story (This was in an Army chapel too, believe it or not)!

NOTE: Around last Christmas, this very same chapel was struck by lightening and burnt to the ground.

Gee, I wonder why?

Hello:

I think that a priest who is effectively pro-abortion is guilty of a sin punishable by excommunication by the Catholic Church. It shouldn't be too difficult to build up a case against him and bring him to the tribunal.

And you wouldn't need to act out of anger, pride or self-righteousness to do so. A priest with these ideas is a mortal threat to his parish community. By helping in having him disciplined, you'd actually be doing a great service to the Lord's Church.

But before doing that, please consider:

When Jesus defended the adulterous woman, was He condoning adultery?

Before taking action, let's think it twice to see if we really should cast the stone.

Shalom,
Memo.
