Hmmmmm…
The pro-life voice in the democratic party is the slightest whisper.
Norwich…Norwich…I think you delight in being contrary.What a fascinating string. As a European I don’t have this problem but looking at all the replies it does make one wonder if this is predominantly a Catholic Forum, or is it one that has been highjacked by Republican right wingers that happen to be Catholic?
And it’s not allowed to be heard by anyone much either.
Modern Liberalism reverses this order; it imposes a false notion of charity: our neighbor first, and, if at all, God afterwards. By its reiterated and trite accusations toward us of intolerance, it has succeeded in disconcerting even some staunch Catholics. But our rule is too plain and too concrete to admit of misconception. It is this: **Sovereign Catholic inflexibility is sovereign Catholic charity. **This charity is practiced in relation to our neighbor when, in his own interest, he is crossed, humiliated, and chastised. It is practiced in relation to a third party when he is defended from the unjust aggression of another, as when he is protected from the contagion of error by unmasking its authors and abettors and showing them in their true light as iniquitous and pervert, by holding them up to the contempt, horror, and execration of all. It is practiced in relation to God when, for His glory and in His service, it becomes necessary to silence all human considerations, to trample under foot all human respect, to sacrifice all human interests—and even life itself—to attain this highest of all ends. All this is Catholic inflexibility and inflexible Catholicity in the practice of that pure love which constitutes sovereign charity. The Saints are the types of this unswerving and sovereign fidelity to God, the heroes of charity and religion. Because in our times there are so few true inflexibles in the love of God, so also are there few uncompromisers in the order of charity. Liberal charity is condescending, affectionate, even tender in appearance, but at bottom it is an essential contempt for the true good of men, of the supreme interests of truth and [ultimately] of God. It is human self-love, usurping the throne of the Most High and demanding that worship which belongs to God alone.
We can agree to disagree about the role of government in our lives, but when it comes to a candidate who protects abortionists??
A thread cannot be hijacked - anyone can post.What a fascinating string.

Is it too obvious that Catholics are in opposition to the party that promotes abortion?What a fascinating string.

It’s hard to tell in this instance, because Catholic teaching is that we are to be pro-life.What a fascinating string.
