Great article as for me. It would be great to read something more about that theme.

I am not a Cathlic but I BELIEVE WHAT THEY BELIEVE IF YOU DON'T THEN GET OUT. YOU JOIN A BELIEF SYSTEM BECAUSE THATS WHAT YOU BELIEVE. KILLING BABIES OR HOSTING PRO BABY KILLERS IS NOT WHAT REAL CATHOLICS DO SO PRO-CHOICE IS NOT CATHOLIC.

Dear Mr. Terry;

I consider you complicit in the murder of Dr. Terry. Hitler used very similar verbal terrorism against the Jews witch led to a complete dihuminization of these people. You used the same tactics against Dr. Tiller. You only let your unbending opinions count, compassion and mitigating circumstances do not exist, because you are always right, just like Hitler. What a sad person you are.

You cannot expect to whip up hate against some body for years and than be surprised to see murderous action against this person.The Germans acted in similar fashion against the yews.I once was a Catholic. I know why I retreated from this religion.

Count yourself a very close accomplice to Dr. Tiller's murder.

god bless u for taking a stand for truth & the word of God, unfortunately many christians themselves have been seduced by the "anything goes" mentality in our society today. Let me assure u that sin is still sin & its very simple. God's not a liar that he will take back his word for popularity. there is no gray area. bottom line:HELL is HOT!

the Good News is that Truth will prevail..Its all written.

the choice remains, which Side Will u Be ON?

I don't believe even Hercules could clean out the Vatican stables.

This woman knows nothing of church discipline nor of the many times both in the Scripture and throughout the rest of recorded history where spiritual leaders rebuked and otherwise policed rogue government leaders. It was disgusting but not surprising to see that she trotted out the tired old allegation that any man who stands against the Radical Feminist point of view somehow holds all women in contempt; I've been in this fight nearly as long as Mr. Terry and I've long ago silenced that allegation with the rejoinder, "Yeah, I hate women, so I went out and married one." Use your mind, as the 80-year-old priest arrested on the Notre Dame campus said to his oppressors! To her "stay out of women's wombs" advice, I say that if women weren't making their wombs available to men who act like dogs, and acting like alley cats themselves, then this wouldn't even be an issue. She further displays her ignorance when she misrepresents what was actually going on in John 8 with the adulteress who was disingenuously brought to Jesus by those who intended to set Him up! The Law commanded that both partners be stoned. That kind of treachery is one of many things that should never be tolerated, contrary to this woman's or anyone else's misconceptions of what tolerance, understanding, and charity really are and what they entail. As I told a couple before I took my place on the protest line, I considered it more of an honor to shake Mr. Terry's hand, to say nothing of Dr. Keyes's, for whom I voted the first time he ran for President, than to have a photo op with Obama or any other President than Reagan. I was saddened to see Archbishop Burke distance himself from his statement in such a manner as to show a candid observer that to get an honest opinion from a leader of any kind on a hot-button issue, it nearly always seems to take a variation of the "ambush" tactic so frequently practiced by the left, which is now calling itself and its tired old advocacy of tryanny "progressive." To paraphrase another scripture, the vile person is no more called "liberal;" he or she now prefers "progressive," much to the chagrin of those of us who understand that no positive progress is made without a return to the values of the Scripture.

These men are playing a very dangerous game with souls and the body of Christ. Saint Augustine fought against this exact HERESY... priests assuming power of God rather than being a vehicle. This agenda is political. This has no place in the Church. I am a New York Archdiocesan orphan. I was once one of those 'unborn'....the blueprint on how to deal with my mother's dilema came from St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.........If I had to deal with Burke rather than Cardinals Spellman and Cooke or Randall Terry and Cardinal O'Connor's Sisters of Life rather than the Sisters of Charity and a catholic education from grade one through post grad. I would have BEGGED within the womb to have been an abortion. I would have preferred not to have seen the light of day if I had to see the light that's been shining on Terry, Burke and Bishops like Burke. Men who hold all women in contempt. Prayers of all catholic foundlings are with Bishop Wuerl and all other Bishops who respect all life and the Sanctity of the Blessed Sacrament. I sorely regret that my Church has apparently neglected the ego of Burke to such a point that he had to go to these lengths to be seen on TV. Rest assured Burke will never have this baby's soul on his Communion line........I only receive from priests and Bishops who know that the Eucharist is the Body of Christ and not their political prop. If Burke wants to be in front of a camera, he should learn to sing and dance. There's only one place the path he's on leads........... We "unborn" become delivered by God and we grow and we can "speak for ourselves" and my advice is Stay out of women's wombs!!!!!!Besides it is nobody's business who receives and who does not........when the adulteress was being stoned didn't Jesus say "he among you without sin can cast the first stone"??? I hope the true shepherds in the churc those who preach tolerance and practice charity and understanding at least get a good chuckle out of watching Burke take orders from the likes of Terry. Meanwhile,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Go Fighting Irish!!!!!!!!

Randall Terry has not been a Catholic three years, and already he is dictating his terms to

our bishops. Any who thinks that the GOP is an order of the Catholic Church, should read up on

American political history. I would start with the presidential election of 1928 for instance.

Hey, recovering catholic, I have good news. You're already excommunicated! Anyone who receives Communion knowing that he is complicit in sin, is automatically excommunicated. And for the double whammy, anyone who participates in or encourages or supports abortion is automatically excommunicated! Yeah, you're all set. Now, you may feel a little sad that you're not important enough for a big, public auto da fe, but that's life. March forth bravely and know that you're saved!
