Sometimes it seems the Catholic bishops are among our worst enemies. The USCCB in this country has supported groups that fund abortion. They've poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into liberal organizations like ACORN that gave us a president totally committed to murdering unborn children. Multiply that by other bishops' conferences around the world, especially in first-world countries.
East Timor just legalized abortion in "extreme cases." Sound familiar? Remember when abortion was legalized in the United States in a few places for "rape, incest, and the life of the mother?" How long did it take to get from the extremes to Tiller's late-term abortuary in Kansas?
It's now just a question of time for the poor people of East Timor. And who helped do the dirty deed? The Canadian bishops. The original law introduced in April was even worse. Nevertheless, this is a blow to the heavily Catholic nation that now sets itself on the top of the slippery slope with a push from groups funded by the Church. What a scandal! Just one more, eh? Hard to point fingers with the Archdiocese of Boston entangling itself in the abortion business through it's "charity" business.
Here's what LifeSiteNews wrote about the latest scandal:
"Two of the East Timorese feminist organizations that have been at the forefront of the effort to liberalize the abortion law, and that have come head to head with the country’s Catholic bishops in the process, are funded by the Canadian bishops’ official development arm, the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (D&P)."
Shades of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD).
It's time for Catholics everywhere to stand up to these fundraising campaigns that funnel money from the pockets of the people in the pew directly into the coffers of organizations committed to monstrous evil. In fact, maybe it's time to defund the bishops altogether and stop giving to their yearly campaigns until they can assure us that they aren't using our money to increase abortion and advance liberalism.
Here's more from LSN: "D&P has in recent months been embroiled in a widespread scandal, after LSN and other pro-life researchers revealed that the Catholic group is funding numerous strongly pro-abortion groups around the world, and that it has no policy against doing so. Yesterday LSN reported that the Peruvian bishops have now written to the Canadian bishops demanding that they stop funding pro-abortion groups in their country."
Are the bishops in the first world clueless or are they wicked? You can sin from either ignorance or malice. Let's hope it's ignorance. But the babies will be just as dead in the end.
Read the complete LSN article. And cut off your funding to CCHD and D&P. To see LSN's extensive research on the Canadian bishops' organization, go here.
And pray hard for our shepherds who have a lot for which to answer on Judgment Day.
East Timor in Indonesia just legalized abortion in "extreme cases." ??????
ReplyDeleteEast Timor is an independent nation, it is NOT in Indonesia!
If you cant get that basic fact right, why would anyone take your blog seriously
Oops...Geography is obviously not my strong suit. A quick look at the map was obviously too quick. Indonesia has 17,000 islands in the area, but, as you point out, East Timor is not one of them. Mea culpa. Thanks for the correction.
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful to have omniscient, anonymous watchdogs keeping me on the straight and narrow.
I strongly advise reading up on the history of East Timor and Indonesia. America backed the over throw of Indonesia in 1965 leading to the deaths of 1,000,000 farmers. Pres Ford and Kissinger agreed to and supported the 1976
ReplyDeleteinvasion of East Timor, an action which slaughterd 200,000 or 1/3 of the population. Efforts by these people to become democratic were thwarted by a campaign of terror.
How does this align with american claims of bringing democary to other nations. Paul Wolfowitz, former ambassador called it strong and remarkable leadership. My point is America put these ruthless thugs into power, and kept them there. Abortion is just one outcome of this regime of terror that we keep in place. Oh, and it not abut oil, like Iraq is not about oil and Iran is not about oil. Well, it was and is still about oil. Real politicians do not care one iota about abortion. Never did, never will.
Many Catholics might extend that to Bishops in America as well.
All I am saying is lets be clear WHO is behind the tragic turn of events in the region. We are!
