You, and virtually all faithful Catholics, share your consternation.This whole event has had ramifications that amaze me. On the website of “Catholics for Choice” (which IMHO should be titled “Catholics for Abortion”) Kennedy is being hailed as an American hero for standing up to the bishop. It’s being used as a tool to promote “abortion rights” (sorry, I cringe every time I write that) for Catholics.
I just can’t understand why anyone, whether Kennedy or another person who is pro-abortion, remains a member of the Catholic Church. Why don’t they just leave? Nobody is holding a gun to the heads of any people who wish to leave the Church. I myself left the Church decades ago and nobody stopped me (fortunately for me I came back). So why not leave?
Anyone who professes to be a Catholic and then says he or she does not let the Catholic Church influence or determine his or her political views or voting is a hypocrite. Plain and simple. Using the “separation of Church and State” is simply a cop-out and a feeble attempt to rationalize one’s real views.
