Columnist's 'mindless' attack on church
TO NEW ERA EDITORS:
In response to the column, "Nuns under siege," June 26, by Dan Thommasson:
First, I would like to agree with his comment that he is unfit to comment on the Catholic faith and its teachings as he stated he is probably not fit to comment on the travails of the ancient church. He does not know the teaching of the Catholic Church. If he did, he would not have made his mindless comments.
I take great offense to the statement that Catholic Christians mindlessly follow Pope Benedict, who, as the head of the church, leads us into the true teaching of Christ Jesus. Thankfully, we have a a foundation which does not waver on the teaching of faith and moral values.
Thomasson stated that the American bishops (hooray!) are politically active against the "delicate" issues of birth control and abortion in our nations health care plan. Abortion is the killing of an innocent life horrifically and with intense pain. I am sure that would count as thou shall not kill for all Christians who follow Jesus.
Birth control actually also kills precious little ones formed in the womb and are expelled before given a chance for life.
We need to be reminded of that truth if we are in any way contributing to it. This is not an attack on womanhood, it is its protection.
The abuse that has happened to our children at the hands of the priest is wrong. We know this.
Jesus said what is hidden in the dark will be exposed in the light. We pray for all who have been deeply hurt by this abuse with in the church and outside of the church. This type of abuse is rampant everywhere.
God help us all.
