New Order of Catholic Priests Is Forming to Fight Abortions

[sniffa]

AMARILLO, Texas — The Roman Catholic Church plans to establish its first religious society devoted exclusively to fighting euthanasia and abortion, church leaders said this week.

The male-only Missionaries of the Gospel of Life — founded by Father Frank A. Pavone, an outspoken opponent of abortion rights — will be housed in a vacant Catholic high school and dormitory on the grounds of the Diocese of Amarillo.

Its priests will be trained to conduct voter-registration drives, use the media to get out their antiabortion message and lobby lawmakers to restrict abortion rights.

They also will learn to lead demonstrations outside offices where abortions and family-planning services are provided.

1. Father Pavone?

The same one that keeps popping up on my TV screen?

ugh! Figures he's rooted in TX...would that be to the left or the right of Camp Crawford?

[Fenris]

2. The very same!

Surprised?

[GOPisEvil]

3. Male only order. Figures.

Also figures it's in Amarillo. Amarillo didn't even vote for LBJ. That place is to the right of Attila the Hun.

[eternalburn]

4. I wonder how the world would be if men could get pregnant? (nt)

[sniffa]

5. better

maybe they'd stop trying to controL the womb.

[jonnyblitz]

6. free abortions and a clinic on every street corner. nt

[sniffa]

7. snicker

[GOPisEvil]

9. Safe, legal abortions would be in the Constitution as an Amendment.

[Not Me]

20. Why should they involve women?

Their counterparts in the political arm of the theocracy don't.



**Bush and cosponsors of so-called "Partial Birth Abortion bill"

[Mizmoon]

24. "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament."

Gloria Steinm said it, not me. She is brilliant.

[dbackjon]

8. Lobbying?

They'd better not be tax-exempt.

[sniffa]

12. of course they'LL stay tax-exempt

i'd Like to hear the defenders take on it.

[Larkspur]

10. When they protest outside family planning clinics, it time for the

"Satanists for Life" to appear alongside them. Satan is for Life. He needs more murderers, torturers, sadists, masochists, drug kingpins, rapists, theives, etc. Abortion prevents Satan from seducing and corrupting souls to his evil ways. :evilgrin:

[LiberalEsto]

11. If they don't like abortions

they don't have to get one

[Feathered Fish]

15. tee hee

:D

[gollygee]

17. Supposedly celibate men wanting to make decisions

about pregnancy.

*sigh*

[gollygee]

13. Oh please please, lord, give me a group of men to tell me

what I can and can't do with my body!

Please! I need men to save me from myself!!

[jonnyblitz]

16. I don't even want to go there, what I think of "pro-life" men.

:puke:

[Greybnk48]

14. voter registration drives in churches

How can churches maintain tax exempt status when many have become so politically active?

[BuyingThyme]

18. Why don't you pieces of shit spend a little time fighting

pedophilia?

[sniffa]

19. that's a non-money maker

no need.

[sescob]

25. Exactly.

[Kelvin Mace]

21. Huh?

The society's priests will be given the general mission of "preaching and teaching the pro-life message effectively," Pavone said.

They also will "bring healing and forgiveness" to those who have had abortions and will provide what they describe as counseling services to women who are "tempted to abort their child," he said.

I'm sorry, did somebody eliminate the disease and hunger that daily kills tens of thousands of children all over the world while I wasn't looking?

22. Sacred Choices by Father Daniel Maguire

This is a must read book about abortion
in all cultures and religions throughout history.
This is a resource for all of us to use as
talking points.

[roguevalley]

23. they need their tax exempt status revoked, the bastards.

[Lars39]

26. Bet they're going to recieve 'faith-based' funds.

:puke:

[Modem Butterfly]

27. Just what women need...

Just what women need, to have their reproductive choices dictated by people who will never get pregnant and don't have sex.

[sniffa]
