CATHOLIC CHARITIES OF RICHMOND VA FACILITATES BABY-MURDER  This is mind-boggling!  If you haven’t yet read the Washington Times article, read it now.   These people haven’t the first clue regarding true charity.  Whatever else it means, it certainly doesn’t mean murdering babies – or maybe they leaned theology from the Robert Lynch School of Cafeteria Catholicism (see article below).  Now doesn’t something seem strangely backwards here?  Usually, it’s the secular government that is trying to force some anti-life measures on the populace, and the Catholic hierarchy makes protest for the sake of life.  Maybe it’s a pathetically weak protest, but at least it’s some stance for life.  Not this time!  Now it’s a Catholic agency that aided and abetted murder, and the civil government is taking them to task for so doing!  Well, at least the State of Virginia got something right.  Now why did it take the State of Virginia to raise the red flag?  Where, oh where, was the supervision within the ranks of that Catholic Charity office?

This abortion happened in January.  So why are we learning of this five months later?  Well, blame it on USCCB cover-up and stonewalling.  You’d think that they would have learned their lessons after the sex-abuse cover-up fiasco.  Sadly, such is not the case.  Here’s more.  We’ll keep this website updated as we learn more – and there most likely is more still hidden under rocks!

By the way – despite all the coverage in secular papers and internet, there was nary a peep about this matter in the Catholic Standard.  They were too busy sobbing over the death of Tim Russert to be concerned about the murder of a baby at the hands of a Catholic agency.  We suspect that next week, they’ll be embarrassed into some mention of it.  Of course, the coverage will basically say, “Hey, this is just a minor glitch, but not to worry!  We got things well under control!  Smiley-smiley!”

Update as of June 30, 2008 – Again we have the Washington Times to thank for digging for the truth here.  No doubt the Catholic Standard will continue to outshine the Three Monkeys on this one.  It appears that Archbishop DiLorenzo knew of the abortion while it was in its planning phases – and yet did NOTHING to stop it!!!  Ostensibly he was told “there was nothing he could do to stop it.”  Are you as aghast as we are?  This is sheer, utter nonsense!  Are any of you employers?  If any of you was told that one of your employees, in your name, was going to commit a heinous crime but “there was nothing you could do to stop it,” would you just shrug your shoulders and leave it at that?  Of course not!  Does this bishop have any semblance of a spine?  We all know there was plenty he could have done.  For heaven’s sake – he’s the bishop!    Notify the police!  Fire the perpetrators on the spot – and excommunicate them as well!

We understand that the archbishop is “apologetic”.  Well, whoopdi-doo!!  Apologies don’t cut it here!  First he had pre-knowledge of a planned abortion, and he made no attempt to stop it.  Then he covered it up for five months.  The local CCR director likewise had this foreknowledge, but she didn’t try to stop it.  Were they really so helpless to act – or are there yet more sordid details to learn?  We fear the latter may well be the case.  The CCR is under Federal investigation for using Federal funds in violation of Virginia consent laws.  We hope and pray that the civil authorities are relentless in their pursuit of the truth; Lord knows the local hierarchy certainly isn’t.  Rather they’re hell-bent on cover-up – well, maybe not now, since the cat is out of the bag.  We hope that Virginia and Federal officials proceed to criminally prosecute the CCR fiend who signed that consent form, and any other CCR and/or archdiocesan official who had anything to do with that coverup – including Archbishop DiLorenzo!

It still boggles our minds!  A baby was murdered under Catholic auspices in Richmond – with prior knowledge of the local bishop, who uttered not the slightest protest.  Why?  Forgive us for NOT believing that lame excuse!  Let the investigation proceed!

Update as of July 3  We read from the Catholic News Agency that the bishop did forbid the abortion.  However, it still appears that he was told there was nothing he could do about it.  Poppycock!!  He remained silent in the face of murder!  As our colleagues, Les Femmes, put it, if he were told that a major donor was pulling the plug and there “was nothing he could do about it”, the good bishop would not take that sitting down!  Read their take here by clicking this link, then clicking eletters.  This is not the shepherd that the Church needs, for this shepherd literally stood by and sucked his thumb while a baby in his charge was taken to be murdered.  Go to the bottom of that site to get contact information to ask for Bishop DiLorenzo’s removal.

 

bishop ROBERT LYNCH OF sT PETERSBURG FL PRESSES CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST A PRO-LIFE ACTIVIST  If this bishop’s name sounds harshly familiar, it is with good reason.  Remember the murder of Terri Shiavo.  It happened within the diocese of St Petersburg.  Did the local bishop raise his voice on her behalf?  Au contraire!  He actually gave approval for Michael Shiavo to commence with the murder – in writing (click here for the unbelievable tome).  He forbade his priests to visit her or the Schindler family.  He left the country while she was dying during Holy Week; no bishop can leave his diocese during Holy Week, by Canon Law.  He wouldn't let any service for Terri be conducted in any church; HOWEVER - he did allow Michael to subsequently marry his shack-up girl friend in a Church.

One would think, after reading this, that anything would go, as far as this bishop is concerned.  So why is he dragging a pro-life activist into court?  What nefarious act did this pro-lifer commit that would cause Bishop Lynch, who winks at murders, to go ballistic?  Sit down, take deep breaths, for this news will surely shock you!  The pro-lifer had (Get ready for it!  Drum roll, please!) left flyers on cars in a church parking lot!   Oh, the horror of it all!  Go here to get more detail; at that site is a link to that most dastardly of flyers!  Oh, that darned First Amendment that makes possible that sort of literature, and this sort of website, too, for that matter!

We have issued to Bishop Lynch a public letter.  Read it here.  At the other blog spot is a list of contact information for the bishop.  Please contact him yourselves and don’t let him get away with harassing a Catholic pro-life activist.

 

USCCB GIVES CONDOM APPROVAL  We need not rehash the story as related by Lifesite News.  Go here for it.  We will, however, emphasize that the Catholic Relief Services is a major culprit in this blunder.  History lesson time!  Who’s on the board of directors?  Among other people, Cardinal McCarrick!  Go to the “McCarrick Watch” page to see one of his statements about condoms.  Coincidence?

 

 

WOMAN-PRIEST WANNABEES…..  In the Archdiocese of St Louis MO, two women conducted a ceremony by which they now consider themselves ordained.  It occurred on November 11th, the afternoon of the date of this entry.  Earlier, Archbishop Raymond Burke, on the archdiocesan website made clear the Church’s teaching on this matter.  He also stated regret at the excommunication that these women would incur and voiced concern for the eternal salvation of these women.  It certainly sounds like St Louis has a true bishop.  It is too early at the time of this writing to know the final outcome; we trust that this archbishop will follow through, and we join him in praying for the repentance of these women.

 

Update: the good archbishop did follow through.  We share his regret that this action had to be taken, but out of concern for their souls, he did not back down.  Here is the declaration of excommunication, as promulgated in the archdiocesan newspaper of St Louis.

 

 

Connecticut bishops approve abortifacients in catholic hospitals  On September 27, 2007, the four Connecticut Catholic bishops committed serious dereliction of duty by capitulating to the culture of death.  They have acquiesced to the CT state legislature’s pressure and are now allowing Catholic hospitals to administer the abortion-causing poison called Plan B to rape victims.  Read the treacherous statement here.  Note some of the flawed logic.  The bishops acknowledge that the law is flawed – but they’ll go along to get along!  They acknowledge doubt as to how Plan B works; thus they acknowledge that it most likely causes abortions (in fact, there is not doubt).  So why do they deem its usage acceptable?  Father Euteneuer of Human Life International offers an excellent analysis here.

 

We will post updates to this section as they occur.  Meanwhile, visit this page to get contact information for the four Connecticut bishops.  Let them know your displeasure.  Please do note that the bishop of Bridgeport, William Lori, was an auxiliary bishop in the Washington archdiocese under Cardinal Hickey.

 

 

 

bLASPHEMY AND SACRILIGE IN sAN fRANCISCO ARE NOTHING NEW, BUT ……   I never thought I’d actually see this kind of in-your-face desecration of the Holy Eucharist by the hands of a bishop!  On October 7, 2007, Archbishop George Niederaur (of San Francisco) celebrated Mass at Most Holy Redeemer Church.  The church is located in the Castro area of SF, an area notorious as a gay enclave.   The “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” is an organization of mostly gay men who promote the gay lifestyle and who make it a point to lampoon Catholic religious sisters.  Most Holy Redeemer, as a parish, has given aid and comfort to these perverts, going so far as to let them use their church hall for their fundraisers.   Click here to get more detail of the October Mass; on that site you can watch a video of the sacrilege.  Watch it closely.  You can see that the bishop knows what he is doing, since he actually has a brief exchange with the first perpetrator.  Then read his pathetic excuse of an apology.  It’s very well and good to acknowledge the insult to religious sisters, but he utters not one peep about the sin of sodomy. 

TAKE ACTION: Catholics and other concerned pro-family Americans are encouraged to voice their outrage at Archbishop George Niederauer’s action at info@sfarchdiocese.org.

THANK ARCHBISHOP o’BRIEN!  On November 8th, Archbishop O’Brien (of Baltimore) ordered the resignation of Father Martin, a south Baltimore priest, who had invited a female Episcopal priestess-imposter to celebrate a funeral Mass with him.  Apparently, this wasn’t Father Martin’s first foray into the world of avant-garde as far as Mass rubrics goes.  However, it was his first under the watch of Archbishop O’Brien – and apparently, his last.  As one can imagine, liberals both inside and outside the Church are kvetching and waxing indignant about O’Brien’s “intolerance”.  Won’t you take a moment to make known to the archbishop your appreciation of his courage and zeal?  Drop an email to him at archbishop@archbalt.org.
