CELEBRATING THIS BLOG'S 13TH ANNIVERSARY # 1 OF 2

IN PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH - HTTP://WWW.CINOPSBEGONE.BLOGSPOT.COM - THURS. MAY 14, 2020

Preface:

    The origin of "In Pursuit of the Truth."

Refer to the Preface of Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger's book, "Co-Workers of the Truth," The title finally chosen for this compilation also conveys my reason for undertaking it. I believe that a work of this kind can, in its own way, contribute to the fulfillment of the promise implicit in the motto from the third epistle of St. John, verse 8, that I adopted from my coat of arms: "Co-Workers of the Truth".

    "Veritas" is also a motto of the Dominican Laity of which I am a member. The question arises, why would somebody be a Catholic-in-name-only politician or person? St. John Paul has given us "The Catechism of the Catholic Church, and Encyclical, "The Gospel of Life." Ignore these two documents.

1. What is normal? What is abnormal? To be a CINO politician within the American Catholic Church today is not normal. Not to talk about them is also not normal. I recall my motto in Montreal's once Loyola College, 1952 - "Justice is Truth in Action!" This could be a reason for my focus on Catholic-in-name-only politicians. Why waste your time on them? Who cares? Well I care about the effects of evil!

     Writing and publishing the truth on this blog is normal for me. There are more than 2,000 letters since the first day of May 14, 2007, titled, "The American Catholic Voter."

2.  Twenty years ago, I had a teach-in on pro-abortion politician Loretta Sanchez:

Where: Albertson's Supermarket, State College St., Anaheim, Calif. When  : Sat. Aug. 18, 2001,

10:30 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. What:  Loretta Sanchez's Monthly Community Meeting.

    I handed her a letter to her office in Garden Grove, dated May 4, 2001

    The letter reads, "It seems to me that the idea of a pro-abortion Catholic is about as ridiculous as Catholics for a free-choice or a pro-adultery Catholic sitting in the church pews. Could we talk or communicate on this subject? Please share the three enclosures with your pastor or bishop? I believe that the independent and informed Catholic prefers persuasion and dialogue on this subject rather than protests or teach-ins."

Sincerely Yours, GHK

    Her personal comment to me and others at the teach-in is that a majority of Catholics are pro-abortion and one of her helpers said he was Catholic and pro-abortion. [Now that I think of it, maybe they were right.]

    I did similar letters to other pro-partial birth abortion Catholic California Congressional Delegation: Joe Baca, Xavier Becerra, Anna Eshoo, Grace Napolitano, Nancy Pelosi, Lucille Royball-Allard, Ellen Taucher, Mike Thompson and George Miller and Linda Sanchez.

3. Eleven years ago: "Let's stop talking only of the tip of the iceberg, abortion. The Democratic Party is today the party of abortion, the party of assisted suicide, the party of euthanasia, and the party of embryonic stem-cell research and the party of same-sex marriage. Catholic-in-name-only politicians are the backbone of that party - useful idiots for the Culture of Death. (Pope John Paul II) We have CINOPS in Congress and the Senate who are sponsors of the FOCA Bill in Congress. Within the last month, 16 Catholic Senators rejected the conscience clause. How can any clergy and religious look in the mirror and remain registered Democrat? Ref. Blog article, Mon., April 20, 2009, Ex-Canadian discusses Notre Dame Scandal.

4. Subject: There is so much at stake, Date: 3/12/2020, etwn@ewtnnews.com To: gmkubeck@aol.com 

    Ref. EWTN News/RealClear Opinion Research polling initiative. [Weep at this most recent finding.]

"Overall, the poll found that just 18% of Catholics indicate that they accept all of the Church's teachings and those are reflected in how they live their life. An additional 38% report they accept most teachings; while 29% do not accept some of the key teachings; 13% say Catholicism has only a minor influence on their lives; and 2 % consider themselves former Catholics... In the poll, 51% of all Catholics believe abortion should be legal, with just 44% saying it should be illegal."

"If the general election for president were held today, how would you vote? Trump 40% to Biden 51% --- Trump 42% to Warren 48% --- Trump 41% to Sanders 50% --- Trump 39% to Bloomberg 48%

Trump 40% to Buttigieg 44%."  to be continued --- George H. Kubeck
