Commentary on Judie Brown’s Tough Love # 1
Friday, Nov. 9, 2007
Judie Brown is president of American Life League. LifeSiteNews.com posted her article on Oct. 26, 2007 titled: Cardinal McCarrick’s comments on Communion for Pro-Politicians called “pole in the eye to believers.” U.S. pro-life leader Judie Brown says cowardice is “Catholicism’s Achilles heal.” Oct. 19, 2007

This is going to be a great conversation. The original article by Judie Brown has 15 sections and they will be printed in bold type. I may be a voice crying in the wilderness but Judie Brown is not. She is respected by many bishops and by the pro-life, marriage and family movements.

1.) Recent remarks by retired Cardinal Theodore McCarrick are a reminder of the tragic situation that exists within the Catholic Church these days. It is as though we are living in a twilight zone where there is no right or wrong, no moral absolutes of any kind, no guiding principles that apply in every situation regardless of the persons involved.

Why are we living in the twilight zone? It is because the truth hurts and is controversial. It is not politically correct. Pro-abortion is a cancer and mutates into four other absolute evils. For example, the politically correct truth is what propelled pro-abort Catholic politicians in Canada to pass same-sex marriage in Canada about a year and half ago. This year In Massachusetts, the CINOPS blocked a Marriage amendment from being on the ballot in 2008. With their reelection in 2008 pro-choice Catholic politicians will promote same-sex marriage laws nationally. This is all a very serious matter and the Catholic laity will not take it anymore. Cinops Be Gone in 2008.
Let us forward Judie Brown’s letter to all the Catholic editors and writers and ask them to take a stand. Neutrality is not an option. Take a stand. We want to know.

2.) In a recent statement, Cardinal McCarrick took aim at Archbishop Raymond Burke’s treatise on why every person who distributes Holy Communion must be prepared to deny the sacrament to any public figure that is Catholic and is also pro-abortion. He said of Archbishop Burke. “I very much respect his position. It’s not mine.”

“The apostles were told by Jesus Christ that the good shepherd watches the gate, lest his flock be eaten. “Do not give what is holy to dogs,” Jesus admonished them.”

What the Cardinal has done is provide cover for all the pro-abort Catholic politicians in the United States. Remember pro-abortion is the tip of the iceberg. Beneath this iceberg are four other absolute evils: assisted-suicide, euthanasia, same-sex marriage and embryonic stem cell research. Throughout these forthcoming articles, let us call them, the two A’s, the two E’s and the two SS’s.

Now suppose Cardinal McCarrick agreed with Archbishop Burke. This would have caused an anti-Catholic Church uproar throughout the country. We would hear the cry of political interference in the affairs of state. And yet this is a most serious spiritual problem and the Eucharist is Sacred. (To be continued)
