Monsignor Rino Fisichella, who heads the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Life, urged Obama to listen to all voices in America without “the arrogance of those who, being in power, believe they can decide of life and death.”
Fisichella said in an interview published Saturday in Corriere della Sera that “if this is one of President Obama’s first acts, I have to say, in all due respect, that we’re heading quickly toward disappointment.”
Apparently Obama has done an overnight revision of the wording on his website.
Bishop Vasa of OR has come out swinging:
[blockquote]It may sound a little strong to state that legislators “hate†the pre-born child but hate is an absence of love and love means to wish another well. There is nothing about abortion that wishes the pre-born child well. The preservation of abortion “rights†is already an absence of love for the pre-born child but the passage of FOCA could be construed as nothing less than active and positive disregard, even hatred, for these our brothers and sisters. To paraphrase St. John, “If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ but votes for FOCA, thus showing a disregard for his pre-born brother or sister, he is a liar.†Lots of things can be rationalized in government but I do not see any way in which any Catholic could rationalize or justify an affirmative vote for FOCA.[/blockquote]
How many people of “faith” voted for him? I’m not a single issue person but to vote for someone who continues the onlslaught against babies (50 million so far) is terrorism of the worst kind. The victims cannot even run for their lives! Shame on us for allowing such barbaric behavior!
