From CNA: Boston priest claims Catholics can support ‘right to choose,’ archdiocese declines comment
Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Aug 26, 2020 / 03:00 pm MT (CNA).- A Boston priest has said he believes in “a woman’s right to choose” on the issue of abortion, and will continue his advocacy for Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, despite Catholic teaching on abortion and a Church prohibition on clerical advocacy for political candidates.
Msgr. Paul Garrity of the Archdiocese of Boston spoke to CNA Tuesday, after attracting criticism for a Facebook post endorsing former vice president Joe Biden for president.
In an Aug. 23 Facebook post titled “I AM PRO-LIFE AND SUPPORT JOE
BIDEN,” Msgr. Garrity wrote: “I am pro-life and I believe in a woman’s
right to choose. I will vote for Joe Biden for President because I
believe that Joe Biden is pro-life like me.” [https://wdtprs.com/2020/08/priest-of-archd-of-boston-bostoncatholic-openly-supports-the-abortion-position-of-dems-and-biden2020/]
Below is a list that Biden, Francis and his mouthpiece would most likely agree with from the liberal Quora.com on Hitler's so-called good points:
"Good. For following -
- Animal rights & Environmental protection rights [and gun control].
- Volkswagen (People’s Car).
- Autobahn.
- Anti-smoking & Anti tobacco campaigns.
- Bringing Germany out of poverty, unemployment.
- Free health care
- Putting a gun on his head and shooting. But it was too late.
- All the Science & Tech advancements of his time. Germany under Hitler was way ahead in Sci-Tech than any other country. There are theories that US stole all their (Germany’s) rocket science, and other technologies, and kidnap Nazi scientists and forced them to work for them(US), and only because of these scientists that US is able to progress so easily in Space and Rocket science in 60s, 70s. Though I don’t know how true it is but this theory has some strong evidences present on the internet.
The following from the Quora list are Hitler's bad points:
- Holocaust.
- Concentration Camps.
- Killing, torturing, not hundreds, not thousands but millions of Jews in only few months.
- World War II.
- Invading many European nations.
- Killing thousands of Non-Jews [and legalizing abortion]."[https://www.quora.com/Was-Hitler-good-or-bad]
Even
though Cupich is personally against abortion he said on Face the Nation
said that he would give Communion to pro-abortion politicians. Hitler
was such a politician. He legalized abortion in Germany.
In his interview with Face the Nation the then Archbishop Blase Cupich was asked:
"When
you say we cannot politicize the communion rail, you would give
communion to politicians, for instance, who support abortion rights."
Cupich said on Face the Nation in 2014 that he would give Holy Communion to pro-abortion politicians:
"I would not use the Eucharist or as they call it the communion rail as
the place to have those discussions or a way in which people would be
either [sic] excluded from the life of the church. The Eucharist is an
opportunity of grace and conversion. It’s also a time of forgiveness of
sins. So my hope would be that that grace would be instrumental in
bringing people to the truth." [http://www.crisismagazine.com/2014/on-giving-communion-pro-abortion-politicians]
In 1933, when the Nazis came to power, one of pro-abortion politician
Hitler's first acts was to legalize abortion for the "health of the
mother" which meant abortion on demand. By 1935 Germany had 500,000
abortions a year.[http://www.klannedparenthood.com/nazis-and-abortion/hitler-was-pro-choice/]
Cupich stated that pro-abortion politicians like Hitler should receive
Holy Communion and he, also, explicitly said cutting up babies is
morally equal, much the same as, joblessness and other issues. The
Chicago Cardinal said:
"While commerce in the remains of
defenseless children is particularly repulsive, we should be no less
appalled by the indifference toward the thousands of people who die
daily for lack of decent medical care; who are denied rights by a broken
immigration system and by racism; who suffer in hunger, joblessness."
Cardinal
Cupich sounded like a Nazi sympathizer when he compared the genocide
and mutilation of unborn babies to joblessness and other issues.
He compared the "Planned Parenthood grisly traffic in aborted babies
body parts to... joblessness and a broken immigration system."
("Leftist CDL Cupich In Running to Chair US Bishops' Pro-Life Committee," Church Militant, October 24, 2017)
Would Cupich call Hitler "prolife" since he agreed with many of his consistent ethic of life stances?
Hitler agreed with many of Francis's and Cupich's consistent ethic of life stances.
Francis
and his mouthpiece stand united in the following consistent ethic
issues. The Nazi dictator fought against joblessness and
anti-environmentalism.
The progressive pro-Cupich magazine
Commonwealth reported that Pope Francis, in an article titled "How Pope
Francis Reframed the Politics of Being 'Prolife,'" now says:
Being "prolife" is not a "single-issue" and, also, means '''the
environment devastated by man's predatory relationship with nature'...
undocumented immigrants and unemployed workers."
(Commonwealth, By John Gehring, September 13, 2017)
Since pro-life is not a single issue then by Francis's "refram[ing]" of
the word then Hitler's grisly death camp genocide should be
counterbalanced by the fact that the Nazi government reduced
unemployment from six million to one million and was one of the first to
create environmental protection laws.
Francis and the Cardinal
in their statements down play the abortion genocide while making climate
change a top priority and appear to, also, equate environmentalism (and
even tobacco smoking which was just outlawed in the Vatican) with
having a consistent ethic life position.
By their "refram[ing]"
Hitler was pro-life since it's not a single issue and he agreed with
many of Francis's consistent ethic of life stances.
Hitler had a
"stance against Tobacco use" and the "Nazi's were the first to create
environmental protection laws in history" according to the Nazi
sympathizer website europeanknights project.com.
(12 Things You We're Not Told About Adolph Hitler and Nazi (NSDAP) Germany," January 13, 2017)
The scholarly book "How Green Were the Nazis?: Nature, Environment, and
Nation in the Third Reich," also, impartially reports that Hitler's
government "mounted the most effective anti-smoking propaganda campaign
ever before 1980" and "nature protection and conversation laws... from
an environmentalist perspective, the best in the world."
(amazon.com/go/aw/reviews/082141672, First review)
Lifesitenews.com pointed out that Cupich said abortion "is a
'controversial issue.' It needs to be 'put behind us so the government
can focus on it's budget.'"
This statement sounds like something similar to what a Nazi sympathizer would say:
The Jewish genocide is a "controversial issue," it needs to be put
behind us so the government can focus on it's budget, joblessness,
environmental issues and train prices.
The Lifesitenews responding to the Chicago Cardinal's statement, which could, also, be addressed to Francis, said:
"Your Eminence, abortion is immoral because it kills... Dietrich
Bonhoeffer didn't fret about train prices in Nazi Germany. He spoke
truth to power about the genocide of Jews and eventually lost his life."
("Cardinal Cupich shows his priorities in responses to two different tragedies," November 8, 2017, Lifesitenews.com)
Have Francis's American bishops through Cupich redefined the meaning of "pro-life" for the Democrats and Biden so they don't have to condemn them?
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
