Cardinal O'Malley denounces work of Planned Parenthood


(Vatican Radio) Cardinal Seán O’Malley, OFM Cap., archbishop of Boston and chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), responded on Wednesday to recent videos showing leaders from Planned Parenthood discussing the provision of fetal organs, tissues, and body parts from their abortion clinics.

Pope Francis, he said, "has called abortion the product of a 'widespread mentality of profit, the throwaway culture, which has today enslaved the hearts and minds of so many'.” Cardinal O'Malley went on to describe abortion as “a direct attack on human life in its most vulnerable condition.” The videos, he said, also reveal “the now standard practice of obtaining fetal organs and tissues through abortion.” Both actions, he continued, “fail to respect the humanity and dignity of human life.”

Here is an actual leader of an actual religion, in fact one of the largest religious organizations on this planet, being an obvious bigot. This is the great new wonder pope's Cardinal, not some obscure idiot at some right wing conference being used to tar everyone with a similar outlook on religion.

They wallow in it. I don't have to search out some obscure idiot to tar the RCC's leadership with, they proudly proclaim their overt bigotry to the world.

I suspect you're not interested in O'Malley's remarks at all.

There's an echo chamber where such unpleasantries are never mentioned.

This isn't it.

Marginalized than that.

Shall we compare to the herd of right wingers in your church? Percentage of the populace and the political resources they wield?

here and some of them also mock people of other faiths for having the exact same views as Francis holds, and that's a kind of bigotry in and of itself.

You mean to tell me it's the RCC and those that support its misogynistic policies who are the real threat?

Well I'll be.
