Thanks Archbishop Chaput. You pointedly spoke of the reality of the Democrat Party, and how now they are the Party of Abortion.... I am greatly saddened as my family were always Democrats....Once Roe became LAW? That ended. So tragic to see fellow Catholics so cruel in their abundance love of the Dem Party and ALL it stands for, including ABORTION.... Its straight up murder. Plain and Simple. A mortal sin and a slap to Our Creators Face.

It is not about party as Archbishop Chaput said. You do not listen do you? "We are Catholic before Republicans...Democrats..." Get with the program.

Any pro-lifers want to make a deal???

Watch (MeatVideo dotcom-Factory Farm abuses make hunting seem nice) and go Vegan, I'll never have a abortion?

Ive considered adoption since tons of kids-teens are in foster care, also am for human population control, look up Earth Clock for scary stats. Reducing prolonged suffering in is important. Vegans also drastically reduce hunger (every 10lbs corn/grain fed to force-bred birds/pigs only gives 1lb cooked flesh in return) and helps health/environment

Exodus 21:22-23 makes it clear that God does NOT consider a fetus a person because the standard life for a life punishment for murder (even if accidental) does NOT apply. It would help people if they would actually READ their holy book.

Amazing the amount of shit you type about God, especially when no one has any knowledge of any God creature.

What else could anyone assume about you, except you are completely full of shit and just rambling on with nonsense?

NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING OF GOD. SHUT THE FUCK UP. YOU ARE JUST HERE, BEING A LYING, DISHONEST CUNT.

Please get this message into your silly head and realise how daft people sound proclaiming knowledge that is impossible to possess.

Abortion is a slap to our creators face?

Maybe you should read the bible. God is all about killing babies. He kills hundreds, and then tens of thousands of babies in the bible.

"You have forgotten God who gave you birth." ~Dt 32:18a

I will pray for God's Mercy on the sorry state of your soul.

St Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle.

Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.

And do thou, O prince of the heavnly host, by the power of God, cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Empiricalism does not apply. Science was created from Philosophy, not the other way around. So it is to Philosophy that you owe the existence of Science, not to materialism.

"Obey your bishops and defer to them" (Hebrews 13:17)

"For the bishop as God's steward [second in command]" (Titus 1:7a).

"Keep watch over yourselves and over the flock which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers [bishops]" (Acts 20:28).

Hmmmmmm so much for fundamentalism and private interpretation.

God is! He is the One Who created all. I do know that He is only goodness and love; not murder or hate or choice to kill a child. That my friend, you must learn in your heart not w/ your mind. Any 'faith' Magisterium that teaches 2 kill in God's name is not a true faith or belief in the God that created us. There is only ONE. Worship Him but not the flowers, trees or turtles that He created! Come back to table when YOU can create a human being from nothing not two tangible science lab specimans!
