Catholics United: Wrong to Call Us Pro-Abortion Rights

Call it by its true name: infanticide: the murder of innocents! Inexcusable in any moral society.

Slavery was legal and still wrong. Child labor was legal and still wrong. Lack of suffrage for women was legal and still wrong. A blind-eye was turned toward the holocaust and it was still wrong. Abortion is legal and still wrong.

It is time for Catholics and all people of goodwill to step up and stop the killing of innocent unborn people.

"Catholics United is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting the message of justice and the common good found at the heart of the Catholic Social Tradition. We accomplish this mission through online advocacy and educational activities."

God is enough; the clerical and lay faithful of Christ are enough to "promote the message of justice and the common good found at the heart of the Catholic Social Tradition." The Catechism is chock-full of clear Catholic social teachings with Biblical rationale. Why is a "non-profit, non-partisan organization" necessary for promoting exclusively "Catholic Social Teaching" when there is already Jesus Christ's Church?

One possibility is that Catholics United is promoting "Catholic Social Teaching" as more important than the defense of all phases of life (abortion).

The truth will set us free.
