In my last
posting I lamented that Canada’s Catholic Bishops were seriously
downplaying many evils—chiefly abortion—touching Canadian society through the
very vague and lukewarm document
recently released by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Other prolife and faithful Catholics have also weighed in on
that subject with valuable insight, exposing just how seriously
deficient the CCCB Guide really is and pointing out the most
egregious omission: cogent voting
advice to ensure pro-abortion politicians do not gain power. The peculiar thing
is that even those Bishops who are the honoured “champions”
of the prolife movement seem to be quite content with promoting the CCCB
Election Guide without further commentary or supplementary resources.
Of course they could take the time to add their own versions
of a voting
guide if they chose to, since each has full
apostolic authority in their own diocese, but as I have noted on other occasions,
the last thing any Canadian Bishop will think about doing is breaking ranks
with their (liberal) brother Bishops who completely set the pace of downward
slide, even at the risk of the destruction of souls.
Therefore take note that “prolife” Cardinal
Collins of Toronto and “prolife” Archbishop
Prendergast of Ottawa, as well as “prolife” Bishop
Henry of Calgary, are each featuring prominent links on diocesan websites
to the CCCB Election Guide, without urgently needed qualification and
supplementation:
It defies imagination that any Catholic heartbroken over the
destruction of 100,000 children annually could not muster a more
serious strategy to defeat the culture of death in Canada: a most pitiful
and outrageous effort by the most “prolife” Bishops of Canada…to say nothing of
a failure to mention other very evil and dangerous trends, such as gender
ideology, surfacing at the highest political levels, and which demand
urgent address. Yet all we hear is a deathly silence.
