The overwhelming defeat of Bill C-384 proved that we can Push-Back the euthanasia lobby in the US and Canada and convince people that euthanasia and assisted suicide are a dangerous public policy.

Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.
And---where are we in Canada on this? The Clergy seem to be completely unaware of the topic, or unwilling to take it on . .Shame, Shame on those who will not stand up for the teaching of the Catholic Church. I hope they will not be surprised if Our Lord does not recognize them when they die!
ReplyDeleteAnon: Not all of us are unaware! Priests for Life is doing its best to ensure that all of us know exactly what confronts us on the life agenda. But you are right about one thing: more of my brothers need to find the courage to stand up for these teachings in their preaching and public ministry. Some of them have seemed to forgotten that it's more important to preach and teach the truth than it is to be popular, progressive, or non-confrontational whenever we stand in the pulpit. Please pray for them.

Father, I am taking a different approach. Many of my friends and myself are having Masses said for the laity of our Archdiocese, where the laity are starving for correct catechesis... It is mostly feel-good crap we are dished out. The Priests know better, but have chosen the lower road, which leads straight to Hell.
DeleteThe Bishops, for the most part, are asleep at the switch, and indifferent as to what hogwash is being served up.
