Why is there not more of an outcry from the pulpit regarding the wicked deeds of Planned Parenthood?

Is Kim Davis a Hero?
I believe that Mrs. Davis is a sincere person who has had some sort of personal encounter with Christ…
Where I fault Mrs. Davis.. is in her failure to act positively..
Influence of the Brothers
It was my privilege to have Xaverian Brothers at the former St. Michael’s Diocesan H.S. on 43rd Street and Fourth Ave., and Franciscan Brothers at the old St. Francis College on Butler Street.
Fix the Church of Jesus
“Veni, Vidi, Vici.” (He came, He saw, He conquered). It would seem from the eye of this sinner, that Pope Francis did just this and much more.
The Development Of Truth
Dear Editor: The theological disputes throughout history have served to elucidate and refine truth. In this sense, the process is dialectical and organic. Truth, as Jesus Christ, objectively is not a dialectic, nor is it static.
Kim Davis Is Not a Hero
Dear Editor: I am writing in response to the letter about the “Courage of Kim Davis” (Readers’ Forum, Sept. 19). In the past century, a tradition of heroes who defied the law and went to prison over matters of conscience has arisen. Starting in the early 20th century with the American Suffragettes, others such as Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., inspired important change. Their civil disobedience created social change and the doing away of injustices.
Two-Pronged Approach
Dear Editor: John Calvin was a terrible theologian. His primary idea, that God chooses to condemn millions of people to eternal damnation, regardless of any efforts they might make to the contrary, is by far the worst idea of the Reformation. This obsession with power believes in a God who would be infinitely more evil than all the world’s dictators combined, but in this worldview, power matters and victims do not. From this worldview evolved our capitalist economy, based on domination and power, granting the vast majority of benefits to a few and disregarding the suffering of millions.
Church Respects Women
Dear Editor: The comments of Ernie Terga (Readers’ Forum, “Pay Attention to Women,”June 20) are disrespectful to women and the Church. He is wrong to insist that the Church has ever said, in any capacity, that “men have a monopoly on piety.” Does the Church say that the women she canonizes or elevates to Doctors […]
Response to Homelessness
Dear Editor: To Frederick R. Bedell Jr. (Readers’ Forum, “Homelessness,” Sept. 9), I want to offer my apologies to you for your experience as a veteran being homeless after being released from the U.S. Navy and having served during the Vietnam era. There is something seriously wrong with us as a country when men come […]
Defunding PP
Dear Editor: We know that there are Catholics who support abortion. However, no one can support the harvesting of baby parts for sale on the open market. Where is the Catholic voice to defund Planned Parenthood? There are four ways to defund Planned Parenthood (PP). Three will not work because Obama can veto the bill. […]
