Catholics for "Free Choice" go to war against Life

Catholic pro-life groups are now under attack. And their enemy is as deceptive as a snake: Catholics for Free Choice. It's important to note that Catholiics for Free Choice aren't really Catholic, they are simply pro-abortion liberals who are attempting to hide under the mantle of Catholicism. They are attacking pro-life groups through legal means in an attempt to silence them.

Their first attack was on Catholic Answers, who publishes the excellent Catholic Voter's Guide. Fortunately, they were able to re-create their business as another form of charity that solved the problem (at least the way I understand it). The next target is Priests for Life, which is another exceptional pro-life group. How pathetic is that? If you really believe what you preach, why not try to win through argument? Instead these guys try legal means to silence the opposition. Free speech, apparently, only applies to liberal interest groups.

If you able, please try to donate to Priests for Life and Catholic Answers. Both are exceptional groups in the fight to save innocent children. And remember: Catholics for Free Choice are not Catholic and, as we now see, not for free choice (they're for abortion).

God bless,
Jay

Did you know that the Playboy Foundation is a major donor to CFFC?

Once I was in DC for a Feminists for Life event. A group of us were passing through a "prochoice" rally on the way to dinner. A woman with a clipboard and a bag of CFFC buttons invited us to joins. I said, "I'm not Catholic." She said, "That doesn't matter! We have atheists, wiccans, everybody. You just have to be for choice!"

It's a wonder the Church can't sue them for even claiming to be Catholic, not just based on heretical doctrines but on the grounds that the members aren't even LAPSED Catholics.

Christina, thanks for letting us know that CFFC members are not even lapsed Catholics. I originally thought that Jay was just being harsh and calling lapsed Catholics not really Catholic. You saved me from making an embarrassing response to Jay.

As far as I know, a bishop has the authority to strip the name "Catholic" from anything in his Diocese if necessary. Bishop Fredrick Henry of Calgary reminded the school board that he had the authority to strip schools that continued to use Casino revenue of their Catholic status.
