A Religious Perspective
Political Football
The abortion issue was the political
football that Trump carried across the
goal post...while evangelical and
Catholic leaders and their congregations
cheered him on.

Diocesan offices are well staffed for ongoing pro-life actions and

less active or evident.
JUST WAR
vs
JUST CHOICE
For centuries the Catholic Church has held to a
Just Wars doctrine, giving Gods stamp of
approval to mens killings. Even after World Wars I
and II, Viet Nam and Iraq, religious justification for
wars prevails.
Ecclesiastes 4:2-3)
"And those now dead, I declared more fortunate in death than
are the living to be still alive. And, better off than both, is the
yet unborn, who have not seen the wickedness that is done
under the sun."
