Some Catholic Bishops get a clue Tom Smith

Some Catholic Bishops have figured out that any likely Obama health care plan would provide federal funding for abortions, and so are speaking out against it.  They are also beginning to see the risk it poses to end of life care.  This story is not getting much play, but it is actually quite significant.  The Catholic vote is important is some crucial states.  More importantly, it's encouraging that some in the hierarchy at least can read the handwriting on the wall.  If the spirit of John Paul were going to reign over the deliberations of the medical efficaciousness committee(s) that would be one thing.  But guess what -- he wouldn't.

That we were bartering the lives of the unborn to purchase medical care for the supposed "poor" would not mitigate our moral guilt, it would heighten it. If obtaining that care were a life-and-death imperative, we would be obliged to provide it out of our own resources, and without delay. But becoming a participant in baby-murder, premeditatively, and as part of a bargain to discharge another duty, would be gravely sinful.

The bishops have a clear duty to see us through the confusion propagated by the Effendi and his operatives. Blessed Clemens vonGalen, Pray for us. http://www.christendom-awake.org/pages/mcgovern/vongalb.html
