Bishop Robert Hermann’s homily, Sept. 28th in his column in St. Louis Review.

Save our children! More than anything else, this election is about saving our children or killing our children.
Save our children! Many people in Germany supported Hitler for economic reasons even though, as his programs advanced, he put to death millions of Jewish people. He ended up wrecking the economy together with Germany.

How are we different if we vote for pro-abortion candidates for office? How can we help change our political and legal situation to protect innocent children and support a culture of life?
Save our children! When I speak to some so-called good Catholics, I am shocked that they are quite ready to vote for a pro-abortion candidate under almost any circumstances.

Save our children! How can a so-called good Catholic vote for a candidate that supports law that justify the killing of a child that survived a botched abortion? How can such a so-called good Catholic receive the Holy Eucharist?

In Chapter 10 of St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, he state: “The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the Blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? … You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and also the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.”

Save our children! Have some of our so-called good Catholics become so hardened against the Gospel of Life that they believe that other issues outweigh the Gospel of Life? Have some of our so-called good Catholics put politics ahead of the Fifth Commandment, in which God states: “Thou shalt not kill!”?
Save our children! I have no doubt that there may some so-called good Catholics who are reading this column and who may be really angry about now, I ask the question “Why would such a person be angry?” If we do good deed, then our conscience is at peace. If we do evil deed, then our conscience bothers us. …

Save our children! “If today you hear his voice, harden not your heart!”

Save our children! I have used this terminology again and again penetrate the defenses of anyone who in the past may have put personal, economic or political interests above the issue of saving our children…. Police and firemen always risk their lives to save human life. Why should we not risk our own reputation to save our children?

Save our so-called good Catholics who ignore Catholic moral principle when applied to our political life. Pray the family Rosary for our so-called good Catholics who could use your love and your charity.
Prayer is our protection: Let it also be a protection for our country. If you want to make Satan angry, pray the Rosary for the sake of Life.
