Pro-life... Ecumenism

2 Chronicles 7:14 "If My people, upon whom My name has been pronounced, humble themselves and pray, and seek My presence and turn from their evil ways, I will hear them from Heaven and pardon their sins and revive their land."

Since the Reformation there has never been an issue better suited to bring unity among Catholics and Protestants than Pro-life. "What the 'enemy' has meant for harm, God will turn it to good to achieve His purpose." (Genesis 50:20)

Abortion is the most heinous act ever enacted by man. As a result of Roe V. Wade, over 3500 "innocent, helpless children" are murdered in the US...every 24 hours, 365 days a year. "Some men's sins are flagrant and cry out for judgment now, while other men's sins will appear only later." (1 Tim. 5:24)

"To Christians (Catholic and Protestant), abortion is the killing of an unborn child, a premeditated breach of God’s Commandment 'Thou Shalt Not Kill.' The case is closed for all time. Any Catholic who participates in an abortion is excommunicated. Canon Law - 1398. A person who procures (includes accomplices) a completed abortion incurs a latae sententiae (automatic) excommunication. Catholic politicians from Nancy Pelosi to Joe Biden who support a 'woman’s right to choose' have been denounced from pulpits and denied Communion."

"Obama is the most pro-abortion president ever. On his third day in office, by executive order, he repealed the Bush prohibition against using tax dollars to fund agencies abroad that perform abortions. He supports partial-birth abortion, where a baby’s soft skull is sliced open with scissors in the birth canal and its brains sucked out to ease its passage, a procedure Sen. Pat Moynihan said 'comes as close to infanticide as anything I have seen in our judiciary.' In the Illinois legislature, Obama helped block the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, a bill to save the lives of infant survivors of abortion. He voted to allow doctors and nurses to let these tiny babies die of neglect and be tossed out with the medical waste." Patrick J. Buchanan

Obama's position is not surprising given his incomprehensible thought process..."I will teach my daughters morals and values, but if they were to make a mistake, I do not want them to be 'punished' with a baby." This is a comment from the leader of the free world and frankly is satanically oxymoronic on its face.

Yes we need to respect the office of the Presidency and pray for Barack Obama who is obviously poorly educated and informed with respect to God's laws. We should never underestimate the power of prayer. Millions of Catholics and Protestants praying together for the same purpose would be an awesome response to the "enemy's" agenda.

Abortion, as an acceptable, "lawful" behavior, is an all out frontal assault on Christianity, an ecumenical attack.

"And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts. Jesus gave even His life to love us. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want." Mother Teresa

"Draw your strength from the Lord and His mighty power. Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. Our battle is not against human forces but against the principalities and powers, the rulers of this world of darkness, the evil spirits in regions above." (Ephesians 6:10-12)

We must be united...Catholic and Protestant...in this effort to eliminate a grave "unspeakable crime."

"The body is one and has many members, but all the members, many though they are, are one body; and so it is with Christ. If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members share its joy." (1 Corinthians 12,26)
