Why don't American Bishops say anything about *Co's INNOCENT War Dead?
Edited on Tue Jun-14-05 01:00 PM by patrice
Pro-Life is dead, because it got into political bed with Anti-Life/Pro-War End Time's BLASPHEMING, Messianic (read that FRIST/DOBSON/HAGGARD) Religio-Business Pyramid Scheme, Economic-Fascist, Regressivist, Revelations' Crazies!

1. For the same reasons they didn't speak out about the...
Nazis killing the Jews during WWII.

Yes, they DID know!

2. But they're pro life!
A case of warped values perhaps?

3. There are Real Pro-Lifers out there. I've met some.

They aren't considered important enough to be heard of in Corporate Media. There is no profit in Living the life of Jeshua.

4. Can you say "faith based funding?"
BushCo is insidious. They've weaseled their way into every aspect of daily life. They're just paying off the church with this faith-based crap, and the church is eating it up. Free money where they never needed it before.

6. Look at any Church's Business Directory.
Not to mention other little details about who gets what kind of job, because they know someone who works there, or there are family members in similar jobs who help them get in on the best jobs there are in the community.

There's profit in being a church member.

5. Does that Pope have a website?
Maybe we need to flood it with pertinent information.

BTW - Some Pro-Bush ridicules email was sent my way that was STARTED by a NUN who works in a school near where I used to live. I ripped her back a REPLY and now when I have anything to say about the war or B*** antics I always include her in my email list.

8. I stopped going to mass after the election...
however Hubby still goes and he said that for the first time the priest said at the end to stop this illegal war. Of course I countered with a very smart ass remark regarding their treatment of Kerry and the fact that they could have had it stopped with him, etc.

9. But no, they had to make their move on the courts in this country,
okay, so the real Pro-Life needs representation there, the problem is that these judge nominations are not real Pro-Lifers. They are "Real Politik" political operatives.

10. Ones who speak out are Republicans first
Some of the higher diocese level members I have been around for a brief time are Republicans first. You would be foolish to not think there are no power trips going on.

Their Cafiteria Catholism is a different selection.
