"Let the lie come into the world, but not through me." - Letter from a Priest

Jack and Barbara Willke, Parents of the Pro-Life Movement

Editor's note: I received this thoughtful letter from a priest in response to my Open Letter to Bishop Callahan. I agree with much of what Father says, although I could not in good conscience vote for a Democrat, without a compelling reason, as long as their party embraces whole-heartedly sins that cry out to heaven for vengeance. But Father's criticism of Republicans is totally justified. For too many years, pro-lifers have been the neglected step-children of the Republican party which is why I never support the party, only individual candidates. I have added my response to Father's letter in the comments section. I hope you will read his letter and give me your thoughts as well.

LETTER FROM A PRIEST

Fr. Altman Produces a New Video -- May we all be "crushed in the sandwich of truth."

This new video was released yesterday. Please keep up the prayers for Fr. Altman and for his bishop. 

 

Not Silenced Yet: Pray for Fr. James Altman and for his bishop, William Patrick Callahan!

Thanks to all who signed the Open Letter to Bishop Callahan and left comments for Bishop Callahan and Fr. Altman and promises to pray. I urge everyone to drop the bishop a short note or postcard saying you are praying for him and urging him to restore the live-streamed Masses offered by Fr. Altman. The Bishop's address is:

OPEN LETTER TO BISHOP WILLIAM PATRICK CALLAHAN, 

BISHOP OF LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN

 

 

September 15, 2020

Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows

 

Your Excellency:

 

I am an orthodox Catholic who has spent my entire adult life fighting for babies waiting to be born: sidewalk counseling outside abortion facilities, offering a shelter home for moms in crisis, even going to jail several times for rescue attempts. As President of the Catholic Media Coalition, I speak for many likeminded Catholics who deplore the attacks on Holy Mother Church and those who defend her. Many of our members have watched and listened to the edifying sermons by Fr. James Altman and remarked on what a blessing he must be to his bishop for speaking the truth with clarity and charity about the moral obligation of Catholics, particularly our shepherds, to defend intrinsic moral issues. 

Guest Post: Lise Baur Writes to Bishop Callahan about Fr. Altman

Editors Comment: Letters, emails, phone calls -- all can have an impact on the threats facing Fr. James Altman for boldly defending the faith. They take a little more effort than signing the petition supporting Fr. Altman, but all these things help to get the word out and make the issue BIGGER! And the persecution of good, orthodox priests is a BIG ISSUE! I'm writing my letter today and will share it tomorrow. In the meantime, here's one from my friend Lise. What are you doing today to defend the faith?

Hey, the Catholic Church is a big tent where all are welcome -- even those who obstinately reject the truth!

Are bishops who punish priests for speaking against Democratic party betraying the faith?

September 14, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The City of God has a problem, a big problem. Many of those charged with protecting and defending her have gone over to the enemy. Some are active members of the treasonous conspiracy; others commit treason by their silence. They are the “nice guys” who want to be liked and admired. They don’t want anyone rocking the boat by insisting on unpleasant truths. So they say and do nothing while the active conspirators within and the enemies without take jackhammers and wrecking balls to the foundations of the holy city.  [Read more here....]

Fr. James Altman: The Latest Priest Under Fire by his Bishop for Boldly Speaking the Truth

What did Fr. Altman do?

He preached the truth saying you can't be Democrat and Catholic! Read the Democrat platform especially the section on women's rights and gender equality. Does this conform by any stretch to Catholic teaching or is it in direct violation supporting sins that call to heaven for vengeance? Believe me, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out! Now watch Father's homily that was shortened for the video.
