Nothing that a smile can't cure...

Let's see, the bishops can't excommunicate pro-gay and pro-abortion Catholics -- that would cause our pluralist democratic society to grind to a halt overnight -- so let's take the positive approach and have the religious orders honor pro-gay and pro-abortion anti-Catholics. This from Sen. Schumer's website:
US Senator Charles E. Schumer today was awarded the Matthew 25:35 award from the Capuchin Franciscans of the Province of St. Mary in honor of his support of anti-poverty initiatives. ...
The Matthew 25:35 Award is named after the verse in the New Testament that says, "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in."

Shumer of course would be one of those shouting:"Give us Barabas"!

Bernardine's policy of the seamless garment lives on with the Capuchins--a garment not so seamless as much as a senseless collection of pacifism, socialism, and putative pro-life policy. It succeeds only in pealing away the pro-life Catholics from the bishops political activities.

Jesus, good Jew that he was, demanded direct, personal responsibilty in feeding the poor, clothing the naked and caring for the oppressed. He was not a 21st Century socialist like Senator Schumer and the Capuchin Franciscans. Schumer epitomzes the anti-Catholic left in this country. He fanatically supports abortion and the entire agenda of the demagogues who constantly attack our Judeo-Christian traditions.

Kind of puts into perspective the whole vocation shortage thing. I suppose anyone who is hard-left pro-abortion, etc. and trying to discern a vocation is probably thinking "sure, I could join the Capuchin Franciscans, but couldn't I be just as effective as a layman? And I wouldn't have to give up the opportunity to 'marry' my life partner on a vacation weekend in Massachusetts."

Senator Schumer is of course Jewish, so his enthusiasm for anti-life initiatives is somewhat less offensive than that of self-identified "Catholics" politicians who vote the same way. What IS offensive in the extreme, however, is Schumer's savaging of AL Attorney General William Pryor based solely -- and Schumer's comments bear no other interpretation -- on Pryor's strongly-held Catholic faith.
