Collins receives outpouring of support for Trudeau letter

[_Abyssinia]

TORONTO - Cardinal Thomas Collins has been receiving an unprecedented outpouring of support in the wake of his open letter that urged Liberal leader Justin Trudeau to reconsider an inflexible stand against pro-life supporters.

“I think it’s safe to say we haven’t seen this type of response in recent history,” said Neil MacCarthy, director of public relations and communications for the Archdiocese of Toronto.

The reaction has been “overwhelmingly positive” since the May 14 letter, and has come from both inside and outside the Catholic community, MacCarthy said. He cited hundreds of phone calls, letters and emails from clergy and parishioners and a record-breaking response on social media.

I thank you Lord, for Thomas Cardinal Collins, who stands
up for the Pro-Life camp with dignity and courage in this
secular country. Bless ALL who stand up for Justice of the
Un-born:thumbsup:, and all who oppose the Culture of Death.

Hail holy Queen, mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope,
to you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve,
to you do we lift up our sighs, mourning and weeping
in this Valley of Tears.
Turn, then most gracious Advocate, your eyes of mercy
towards us, and after this our exile,
show to us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus,
O clement, O loving, O kind Virgin Mary!
(Pray for us, O holy Mother of God, that
we will be made worthy of the promises of Christ!).
Amen.

Trudeau won’t reconsider, but at least the issue is making the mainstream news.

May Our Lady protect his Eminence. Truly an outstanding man.

If I get any pleasure out of politics at all, it will be from seeing Harper crush that pretty boy drama teacher riding on his daddy’s coattails at the polls. Maybe he will flip out again in front of the cameras like his liberal predecessor Dion did after getting hammered by the Conservatives.
