Finally, a Bishop calling the so-called “Pro-Choice” what it is:

“Pro-Choice” Position is Heresy Says Oregon Catholic Bishop
Previously emphasized, “I answer to the Holy See, I don’t answer to the USCCB"

BAKER Oregon, February 21, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Robert Vasa, the Catholic bishop of the Oregon diocese of Baker, has written a letter to his diocesan newspaper clearly identifying the so-called “pro-choice” position among Catholics as a “heresy”. For decades, many Catholics have argued that “primacy of conscience” allows them to dissent from basic Church teaching, including the right to life, and still consider themselves “good Catholics.”

He said he does not seek to justify “vigilante theology,” and that the word needs to be applied with care, “but we do need strong words to combat erroneous and fallacious teaching.”

Bishop Vasa has a habit of doing that. The CINO’s would probably love to get rid of him. I would love to see him take over LA. BTW: I see he is from Lincoln, NE.

Lincoln, NE- Home of the Conservative Catholic. Unfortunately they are conservative in their economics as well so I have many enemies there. (I live an hour from Lincoln and my girlfriend lives in Lincoln)
