Guest Post: Is It Time for Cuomo and his Infanticide-supporting Buddies to have a Canossa Moment?

Catholic NY governor Andrew Cuomo celebrates
passage of legislation allowing murder of babies
in the womb through birth and beyond!

Editor's comment: In 1077 Pope Gregory VII excommunicated King Henry IV stripping him of his right to rule the Holy Roman Empire and releasing his vassals from their obligation of service? Why? Because Henry demanded the right to name bishops. (Hmm...does this sound like the current situation in China?) Henry, fearing loss of power, went to Canossa in winter, waited three days to see the pope, and then walked barefoot through the snow to meet him and beg for forgiveness. Since then a "walk to Canossa" has come to mean a humiliation. It also indicates that controversy between Church and state is nothing new. James Thunder gives us a modern situation that is a Canossa moment. Will the hierarchy of the Church in the United States take any action to address the horrifying attacks on life? Or will it be the hierarchy bending their knees to the state out of fear of losing the Almighty tax dollar? How will our bishops respond to these evil attacks on the unborn popping up like poison mushrooms all over our beloved country?

Barack Obama: He Lied about Reducing Abortion!

Have you bought the lying rhetoric of President Obama that he wants to reduce abortion by helping women instead of working to outlaw abortion? Have you believed Catholics United and Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, Obama's waterboys, who echo the lying rhetoric? If so, take a look at this list itemizing the pro-abortion actions of our lying president. (Remember when your mom said, "Actions speak louder than words?) Obama's actions are an unrelenting war against babies in the womb and their poor moms. For the complete (looooooong) list go here.
