How did I miss this? On Thursday Jill Stanek’s article on World Net Daily has created quite a stir. It’s a good one. Here are the highlights:
Barack Obama was elected president despite the fact he supports abortion into the fourth trimester.
Altogether, this means we are fooling ourselves if we think the United States is still a Christian nation. Its people just elected a barbarian as president, authorized the killing of both its youngest and sickest, rejected scientific fact that human life begins at conception, blocked parental intervention of abortions of young girls, and voted down the wording of an abortion ban they said only two years ago they would support.
The pro-life movement was actually born of necessity by a void in church teaching, and now the church is almost completely reliant on our para-church organizations and the government to handle the gravest human atrocity in all of history.
The church must stop abdicating responsibility to stop abortion to the pro-life movement and politicians. God’s people are commissioned.
It is your responsibility, pastor and church leaders, to teach your people that abortion is abominable, and before that to teach chaste living. And before that, at the risk of making my Protestant friends flip, to teach that the contraceptive/sterilization mentality, which considers children bad, not blessings, is also a component of the sexual demise of our country.
Face it. It is the Christian church’s fault that legalized abortion in America – and now infanticide – exists and persists.
That was what Election Day 2008 showed.
I think she hits on something here. I remember reading articles and seeing pictures of ministers, priests and nuns marching in the Civil Rights Marches. This made people re-think their negative views and stand up for what was right. Now we just have the religious majority preaching but nothing else. It is obvious that we are in a Godless society right now, we need more than just talk. We need action!
We are always telling people to write to our politicians, but that hasn’t done anything. Perhaps we should start writing to our Preachers, Ministers, Priests, Nuns and Bishops to get them to wake up and stop the mass slaughter of the innocent.

I don’t know about Protestant church leaders, but thousands of Catholic clergy and religious descend on Washington D.C. around January 21 each year. The opening procession at the vigil Mass takes 30 to 45 minutes alone. In addition, hundreds of bishops, priests and deacons serve at the numerous sending Masses held throughout the city on the morning of the March, representing but a fraction of those who are there simply to participate.
That being said, there is certainly much more to be done. Our pastor, who also happens to be our diocesan ethicist, was almost silent on life issues before the election and then yesterday, obviously disappointed in the results, mustered up a few defiant words of challenge to our president-elect.
While it is the duty of the laity to be the ground force for this mission, it is responsibility of the clergy to provide the training and call to action. Some do a wonderful job of this, some fall short. We must continue to pray for them all.
