I just did a search and found little reaction here. This guy pleaded guilty to the Atlanta Olympics bombing, which he did in the name of anti-abortion. The talk show host Michael Gallagher from Dallas had a guy on this morning who seemed to be in favor of violence to prevent abortions…sorry I just can’t go there, and was frankly relieved that there hadn’t been much news of abortion clinic bombings or torchings lately, but now this.

Is it licit to do evil so that good might come of it? I realize this can be an anti-war argument as well. But I think Rudolph has really hurt the prolife cause and made us all look like nuts. I was hoping those days were gone and a societal change of heart was possible now.

I hope the major prolife voices in this country publicly repudiate this guy.

Catholics shouldn’t abide by the Machiavellian principle of “the ends justifies the means”.

I’ve read Eric Rudolph’s autobiography and a good majority of his musings online. He was baptised Catholic so for his soul’s sake, I hope some priest in Colorado is able to take him the Blessed Sacrament and hear his confession.

And while I don’t condone what he did, he is no idiot. Very well spoken and educated especially in circles of history, politics and philosophy. Living only 2.5 hours from where he was captured, Murphy, NC, I made a trip over there one day and went behind the grocery store and saw the dumpster where he was caught and got a chill up my back. Murphy is not that big of a town so it amazes me how he was able to keep out of sight.

I defend his pro-life stance, just not his methods. May the LORD bless him, keep him and have mercy on his soul.

There’s so much irony in calling a feckless murderer pro-life. You think a man that could do something like that is penitent? Maybe he should of thought about that before killing indiscriminately. :mad:

Wowzers, I didn’t see that. Mod should probably lock this and let it fall back into the grave it was resurrected from.

He has as much chance of being penitent as you do, apparently. Or did you speak to him privately and not tell everyone?

Unless the Almighty is posting under the name Jtauke all of a sudden. Get off the high horse before you fall, dude.

Yeah, I know the Nicene Creed says we look for the resurrection of the dead, but, really… :rolleyes:
