Are we Catholic? (June 8 2008)

“I could not bear the thought of this suffering child dying alone in a soiled utility room, so I cradled and rocked him for the 45 minutes that he lives,” Stanek told the U.S. Congress, describing one such case. “He was too weak to move very much, expending any energy he had trying to breath. Toward the end he was so quiet that I couldn’t tell if he was still alive unless I held him up to the light to see if his heart was still beating through his chest wall.”

The above is a section from an editorial that appeared in the May 18 2008 edition of the National Catholic Register. The process it is describing is one called Live-birth abortion. This occurs when an infant survives the actual abortion process. In 2002 the state of Illinois tried to outlaw the process described above through the Induced Infant Liability Act. This bill never became law. One man, at least, used his authority to make sure this protection never happened. That man is Barak Obama. Mr. Obama openly voted against the Induced Infant Liability Act. He openly voted in favor of allowing a small child who only wants the comforting embrace of its mother; to be allowed instead only to find the cold embrace of a solitary death; alone, somewhere, in a utility room. We commend these children to our Blessed Mother, may they find the lasting comfort in her arms that they were denied in their last moments here on earth.

I recieved a bit of criticism for publishing this article in the bulletin. Some people do not want us to speak the truth decause it is inconvenient or it doesn't fit with the fact that we want everyone to vote Democrat. If you are offended by this article or think that it is inappropriate or think I am corupting the youth, I will keep you in my prayers. If speaking the truth labels me as a corruptive force, then I proudly bear that label. It is better then coward, which is what I would be if I failed to respond to the call of God. My Question still stands, are we Catholic?
