From The Tower:
Cardinal J. Francis Stafford, head of the Apostolic Penitentiary of the Holy See, is standing by controversial comments he made about President-elect Barack Obama during an on-campus lecture last Thursday. In an address hosted by the John Paul II Institute on Marriage and Family, Stafford called President-elect Barack Obama’s policies “aggressive, disruptive and apocalyptic,” said that his election was “a cultural earthquake” and that Obama campaigned on an “extremist anti-life platform...
Stafford told CNN he does believe Obama’s stance on abortion rights condones violence towards unborn children, and he does not understand how a Catholic voter could look favorably at the president-elect when “he is hostile to the life of an unborn child."
The Cardinal is absolutely right. Professor Douglas Kmiec attempted to answer His Eminence and defend Obama. Kmiec's defense included this unbelievable statement:
"Quite obviously, and quite sincerely, President Obama shares with our Church a concern for the most vulnerable..."
Obama, when he served in the Illinois Senate spoke against and voted against the Illinois Born Alive Infants Protection Act. That act was introduced because babies, the victims of live birth and induced labor abortions were simply left to die. They were the most vulnerable, helpless people on this planet. This is all a matter of public record. Let's listen to Professor Kmiec again:
"Quite obviously, and quite sincerely, President Obama shares with our Church a concern for the most vulnerable..."
Kmiec is willingly separating himself from reality. Pray for him!
