JUDIE BROWN COMMENTARY

It has been a while since I visited the Colorado Personhood Initiative in this blog, but sometimes things happen that make you wonder precisely what is going on in the minds of some Catholic leaders.

Walking down the streets of Dublin can be a real joy. There are so many lovely young people on the streets, lots of children and shops for every single sort of interest.

First, let me clarify what “CINO” means. It is the acronym for “Catholic in name only,” a phrase used to describe a public figure who supports an evil while claiming to be a Catholic in good standing.

We just came across this story in the July 26 Irish Times. Lo and behold, on page 4 of the first section, we read the following headline: “Tug of war over the right to choose.”

No sooner had my blog, Grandmothers for Death, been posted, than a dear friend, attorney Richard Collier, advised us that indeed the young girl whose mother literally coerced her into having an abortion could have exercised her rights and saved her baby.

I just arrived in London on July 25 and what do you know? The Daily Telegraph has two remarkable articles in the first section, neither of which do much to reinforce the culture of life.

My regular blog entries share a wide variety of problems, but occasionally we attempt to focus your attention on all the good news that is happening in the circle of friends we commonly refer to as our fellow pro-lifers who strive to live the pro-life life.

It is heartwarming to read Father Tom Euteneuer’s weekly Spirit and Life commentaries. As the president of Human Life International, Father travels the world spreading truth, embracing the reality of God’s love for each human being and affirming the undeniable teachings that are the basis of Catholic doctrine.

The purpose of this blog is to ask for your help in the struggle to oppose the American Bar Association’s “pro-choice” (pro-abortion) position statement, adopted at its 1992 annual meeting in San Francisco.

A recent article in Our Sunday Visitor entitled “Can a Catholic support a pro-choice candidate?” reminded me of the sorrowful state of the Church in America today.

It is not often that I can begin a week with a celebratory blog, but that is precisely what I am about to do. It is all thanks to the recent statement issued by Colorado Right to Life.

When I was growing up, my mother’s mother, Grandma Baldi, was a remarkable woman who I loved dearly and have only fond memories of, even to this day.
