Have To Agree With The Cardinal On This

The City of Philadelphia has adopted the status of being a Pro-Choice City. The Archbishop of Philadelphia, Cardinal Justin Rigali, has issued a statement denouncing the resolution stating


"I reject the resolution because so many heroic efforts are made continually to safeguard unborn children from the evil of abortion, to protect vulnerable children and families and to defend all women and men in crisis"


I believe the Cardinal is well within his right to speak out against this, and wholeheartedly agree with his statement. This sends the wrong message to the people of this city, and will only encourage more abortions.

Philadelphia is a predominately liberal city, and it takes a lot of guts for the Cardinal to make a statement like this, but someone needs to come out and say it, and I'd take to see the Cardinal take it one step further, and refuse to give communion to the members of council who are Catholic. Its time to start holding politicians accountable to the beliefs of their faith. You can't be a cafeteria Catholic when it comes to matter such as these
