Monday Musings - Called To Action Not Silence
(Originally published on July 25, 2016)
The Church's selective silence in the
face of clear and unambiguous evil is impossible to reconcile with our
moral obligations and the ageless wisdom of so many of our forbears in
the Faith.
Why do our leaders hesitate for even a
second to publicly and unrelentlessly oppose such evils as killing and
harvesting of body parts for profit and continued funding of Planned
Parenthood?
Why is there any delay in publicly
correcting and reprimanding Catholic public figures who support
positions contrary to Church teaching and yet profess to be faithful
Catholics?
