The Blood is on the Hands of Men with Mitres

I can't say enough about this magnificent article written by Christopher Badeaux:


"The blood of millions will now be shed by the public coffers. That blood lies on the hands of the men with mitres."

Here are a few citations...

There is a clear line that runs from treating the Kennedy clan as Catholic royalty for six decades, through ignoring the legions of nominal American Catholic politicians who treat the abortion license with more reverence than they do a consecrated host, to today’s de facto (and, really, de jure) destruction of the decades-old consensus that taxpayer dollars would not directly subsidize abortion (other than the funding Planned Parenthood takes from the government, and the limited Medicaid abortion exceptions)...

At the most basic possible level, the Catholic Bishops - the men I hold as a matter of faith to be in the direct line of Apostolic Succession - have enabled scandal, and it has finally flowered in full. A bishop has plenary discretion in the manner in which he brings his wayward sheep back into the fold, but by any measure, to put this politely, the American bishops’ exercise of their discretion has been a total embarrassment. Scandal is the act of teaching, from a position of authority, by word or deed, that what is evil is actually good. For essentially my entire lifetime, the Democratic Party has made as one of its governing planks that women have an inherent right to murder their children. Catholic Democrats have not, with a tiny handful of exceptions, bothered to even murmur a protest; the most prominent among them have taken up that position as their own - some without even bothering to run for the Presidency first.

Treat yourself to the full article.

Oh, and speaking of the gross misconduct of Bishops, Bishop Robert Lynch is at it again.

The following email from a fellow Catholic suffering in this Valley of Tears:

Hi Carol...I'm sure you have many other things to read for your blog ...but I can't help myself ! Every time I see this kind of promotion on the bishop's blog I am so angry. At least I know you understand the battle we all face.

In this little daily thought he's promoting Father Hesburgh, former ND president.. Now, at one time in my Christian life I would've found that quite impressive...but once again a little bit of research shows why Catholics have for so long been led astray. I'm forwarding and article from " Ignatius Insight Scoop" which has this little quote from the "learned Notre Dame man.":

It has to evolve over time. I have no problem with females or married people as priests, but I realize that the majority of the leadership in the Church would. But what's important is that people get the sacraments. You have to remember, there were married priests, even married popes, in the first 1,000 years of the church.

Followed by this very astute comment from one of the posters.

(I have no problem with females... as priests, but I realize that the majority of the leadership in the Church would. But what's important is that people get the sacraments.")

So his solution to getting the sacraments to people is "ordaining" people who wouldn't be actual priests and thus unable to confect the Eucharist or give absolution.

Good call, Hess!

Is it any wonder Catholic higher education is in the pits with clowns like this in charge?

Bishop Robert Lynch Still Leading Souls to their Perdition

If your dinner is digested and your soul adequately fortified with grace, drop in to read Thoughts and Reflections by Bishop Robert Lynch which he calls "For His Friends"

He's on the defensive for "the good woman of the church", Sister Carol Keehan. Lynch is on the Board of Directors for the Catholic Health Association.

After his deceptive twists about Keehan and healthcare in the post, he says:

Passions run high in this matter, sometimes at the expense of rational analysis. I will try and keep myself informed of the developments throughout this week and continue to share my thoughts with you here. Now it is off on AMTRAK again, this time to Miami, for a visit with our twenty college seminarians and a funeral in Lake Worth tomorrow.

How do you like this tripe?

Sure is a good kick to the gut isn't it?

Don't worry kiddies, he's going to keep himself informed so he can keep us all "rational".

You know, he's getting a little long in the tooth for this stuff. Death may come like a thief in the night with no time to repent.


I put a comment on the site which of course is "moderated". Think it will make it through?


Carol McKinley Says: Your comment is awaiting moderation.

Abortions are indeed funded with taxpayer money in this bill - as Kathleen Sebelius confirms:


"Yet, when she spoke with ABC's "This Week" program yesterday, she said "Yes, abortion services are provided" under the Senate health care bill.

She tried to qualify her answer by adding, "people will pay out of their own pockets, in both the Senate and the House, but they do it in slightly different ways."

Then again, with your history of misleading your flock, there is very little room to believe you don't know this.

God sees what you have done to His people and His Church.

You are fooling nobody in a state of Grace. God help those whose consciences were dulled with your Tom Foolery all these years and are now left to follow you on the road to perdition.
