BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 7 /Christian Newswire/ -- Pro-life Catholics from Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania will "welcome" Catholic Bishops to Baltimore with two days of protests, decrying the USCCB's silence and treachery concerning the unborn during the 2008 Presidential Election.

Some protesters will wear "Obama Masks" and hold signs saying: "Bishops: Thank you for your silence!" and "Bishops: I couldn't have been elected without You!" Other signs to be unveiled.

Randall Terry, Protest Organizer states: "A key factor in the election of Barack Obama was the silence of US Catholic Bishops. They had a duty to clearly and courageously defend the lives of unborn children; most of them failed miserably. Their silence and cowardice over the last 12 months paved the way for Obama's victory, and will cost millions of innocent babies their lives.

"The USCCB's document, 'Faithful Citizenship,' is a disaster. It was used by every pro-abortion Catholic in the country to justify voting for Obama. The double tragedy is that the Bishops ignored John Paul II's directives in 'Evangelium Vitae' (the Gospel of Life), and chose their own failed document to vindicate their silence and inactivity.

"God have mercy on them. Let's hope they recognize the abject failure of 'Faithful Citizenship,' and formally abandon it, or radically rewrite it in a way that accurately reflects Church Teaching."

Randall Terry, Founder, Operation Rescue.

Pro-lifers will provide media with Church documentation, showing conclusively that most U.S. Bishops clearly betrayed their duty, and unborn children. Thankfully, a handful a Bishops made clear statements; they will be acknowledged and honored.
