WASHINGTON, March 15 /
Christian Newswire/ -- U.S. Bishops, Abortion, Healthcare, and Catholic Health Association: Pro-lifers travel to Vatican to bring complaint against U.S. Bishops - starting with D.C. Archbishop Wuerl - for refusing to withhold communion from Catholic pols who seek to fund child-killing. Catholic Health Association endorsement of health bill displays the fruit of his silence.
Pro-lifers in
The Vanguard of St. Catherine of Siena to ask Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Bertone, for affirmation of Pope's words from 2004 in "
Worthiness to Receive Holy Communion."
"Cardinal Bertone, are the words of Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) the teaching of the Church?"
Protest and Press conference: Re trip to Vatican over abortion, healthcare, and bishops. Catholics to also denounce Catholic Health Association at Vatican for endorsement of health bill while funds will go to murder babies.
Who: Randall Terry and members of The Vanguard of St. Catherine of Siena.
Where: Catholic Health Association, 1875 I (eye) Street Northwest, Washington, DC
Time: Tuesday, March 16, 11:30 A.M. - 12:15 P.M.
Contact: Catherine Veritas, 904 687 9804.
Note: Reporters will be given excerpts of the comprehensive document Sanguis Innocens, Sanguis Sanctus (Innocent Blood, Sacred Blood) which will be given to Vatican Officials.
Pro-life Catholics - led by Randall Terry - will ask Vatican officials:
"Who Is Correct? Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, as former Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, (and the bishops who follow his instruction) or Archbishop Donald Wuerl, as Archbishop of Washington D.C., U.S.A., (and the bishops who follow his example)?
"Their contradictory positions cannot both be correct. Which is the true teaching of the Church concerning the 'Worthiness to Receive Holy Communion' by Catholic politicians who promote abortion?
"And now we have the 'Catholic Health Association' endorsing a bill that will fund the murder of babies. This is the fruit of American bishops refusing to uphold the teachings of the Church."
Mr. Terry also notes:
"We will do everything in our power to ensure that Carol Keehan (head of Catholic Health Association) loses her job. We will also make the case that her treachery is cut from the same cloth of the US Bishops who refuse to withhold communion from Catholics who promote child killing. She - like those politicians - has no fear of repercussions from our bishops."
Most of the 12 members of the Pro-life delegation of The Vanguard of St. Catherine of Siena will be present at the press conference to answer questions.
