Bishop Barron on the NY abortion law

[JimG]

If an infant, lying peacefully in a bassinet in his parents’ home, were brutally killed and dismembered, the entire country would rightfully be outraged and call for an investigation of the murder. But now the law of New York confirms that that same child, moments before his birth, resting peacefully in his mother’s womb, can be, with utter impunity, pulled apart with forceps. And the police won’t be summoned; rather, it appears, the killing should be a matter of celebration.

…draw an analogy to other public matters of great moral import: “I’m personally opposed to slavery, but I’ll take no action to outlaw it or limit its spread”; “I personally find Jim Crow laws repugnant, but I will pursue no legal strategy to undo them”; etc.

Oh. Good! After the law is passed is the best time to lead here.

Bishop Barron is about 3,000 miles away from New York. Why should he have confronted Cuomo prior to this bill over the many Bishops in NY? And of all the Bishops in the US, IMO Bishop Barron has probably done the most in confronting secularism and defending the faith.

I get your point, but IMO Bishop Barron is the wrong target.
