Outside The Asylum

It says, Outside the Asylum, but the last two things I posted here, went to the Knights of Columbus blog.

We just saw this movie, in the last 3 hours.  I've made no secret about being pro-life; but I've always avoided the gory details.  In this case, however, the gory details are essential to the story line, they are essential to Abby Johnson's story.  There has been a lot written elsewhere about the rating.  I've got to say that I too disagree with the MPAA on the rating of R- I saw nothing that exceeded the level of violence of other movies rated PG-13.  Having said that, in the first 50 minutes of this movie, you will see depictions of the death of 30 people.  30 unborn children.  And the near death experience of one teenage mother whose abortion goes horribly, utterly wrong (after all, 1:1000 abortions end up with the mother in the emergency room, fighting for her own life).

Due to this, many rural populations find themselves with either a closed parish or a circuit riding priest, there not being enough priests left to provide pastors for every situation. At the same time, bad bishops, in a misguided attempt to stem the tide of ridiculously large scandals, are turning to punishing whistleblowers who dare to preach against sexuality in the priesthood (after all, only 80% of the problem is homosexuality, the rest are heterosexuals with "Secret Families"), and if they do, they are quickly removed from being pastors and either have to run for their lives or get sentenced to live...

These are hard to read.  I have real spiritual issues with these abusers.  But for the sake of history, four links: Vigano's 3rd letter The Republican Catholic Political Response The Democratic Catholic Political Response The Orthodox Catholic PREDICTION (Written before the third letter, but wow, does this guy have the gift of prophecy or what)

I wish I could embed this.  Perhaps someday I'll find a youtube link to it.  But when defending a conservative, CNN video is a pretty good link , This is what has gone wrong with America.
