Catholic Responsibility

Hong Kong, Religious Freedom and Catholic Responsibility
National Catholic Register
Commentary by Thomas F. Farr, president of the Religious Freedom Institute. He was the first director of the State Department’s Office of International Religious Freedom and traveled to China and Hong Kong in that capacity. His book, World of Faith and Freedom: Why International Religious Liberty is Vital to American National Security (Oxford, 2008) includes a chapter on China.
And while we're on the subject, if you have a couple of minutes read this article from Crisis magazine regarding the "role"of the clergy.
Bishop Barron states 'People are putting way too much onus on the clergy and not nearly enough on themselves.” He goes on to say "it is the laity, not the clergy, who must fight the legal and cultural battles in the public square"
With all due respect, Bishop Barron, if that's the case, then why was Timothy Gordon fired by his own Bishop for doing exactly that. On June 3, 2020, Timothy Gordon found out that he had been fired by his employer Garces Memorial Catholic High School in Bakersfield, CA. And why did this happen? Timothy Gordon was was fighting the battle in the public square and because he called Black Lives Matter a Terrorist Organization ( which they clearly are) Garces Memorial Catholic High School in Bakersfield, CA sacked this faithful Catholic father of six. Like hello, is anybody home?
Our Good and Faithful priests and lay people deserve, at the very least, the encouragement and support of the Bishops. If everyone who speaks the truth is silenced then what?
Below is an excerpt from from Father Altman's homily
" As we keep the roughly 3,000,000 dead and wounded Americans in the back of our minds, and as we ponder the despicable riots, looting and burning over the past 11 days, also keep in mind an amazing Truth. The first March for Life which was founded by Nellie Gray was held on January 22nd 1974, 46 years ago with an estimated 20,000 supporters in peaceful attendance on the West steps of the Capital. That March for Life has continued ever since and in 46 years the number has grown to an Annual amount of more than half a million in Washington DC alone. But also, major Marches in other major cities throughout this whole country. All to speak up and speak out for the million babies murdered every year in this country. So, let's do the math and settle the issue about the criminal riots, right here, right now.
46 years of Marches, now with over half a million in DC alone plus concurrent Marches in almost every other State in the Union to defend innocent children murdered at the rate of a million a year, zero Police cars burned, zero broken shop windows and stollen pairs of Nikes. Zero looting, zero fowl language screamed at news people. ZERO, ZERO, ZERO, ZERO
Now let’s compare that the just the last 11 days. The anarchy, the violence, the countless burned police cars, that we, that we the honest hard working citizens have paid for. Over 17,000 in National Guard called out, that we pay for. And we could show videos of an estimated $400, 000,000 dollars in looting, pillaging, burning damages from just the past 10 days
We can show a picture of the black retired policeman intentionally murdered in cold blood, versus the unintentional death of one man at the hands of one bad apple, one of only a few amongst over 700,000 good Law Enforcement Officers, who we as law abiding taxpayers pay to serve and protect us from the criminal elements, from the criminal who was unintentionally killed in Minneapolis: He was a criminal.
WE can compare 46 years of Marching for Life that honours about 60,000,000 Intentionally murdered babies, and zero police cars burned, versus 11 days of repugnant violence all over one unintentionally killed criminal and countless police cars burned. And then dear family, just try and tell me that we owe any respect of any kind to the rioters and their cause.
Keep that on the back of your mind that on this D-Day when we honour those who offered up their lives, who sacrificed themselves, so that we could live in freedom under the American Flag, especially, for us today, freedom of Religion"
Fr. Altman

China’s current policy is a toxic blend of Mao’s ruthlessness and sophisticated 21st-century surveillance techniques — in effect, an updated religious Cultural Revolution.
On June 30, China’s draconian “security law” went into effect in Hong Kong. The law represents a dramatic escalation of Beijing’s assault on the island’s autonomy and its freedoms, including those of Catholics.
Once again, Vatican diplomacy is on trial, especially the 2018 Sino-Vatican accord. China’s actions in Hong Kong and the mainland have raised the question of the Church’s proper role in defending religious freedom for Catholics and for others. This is increasingly true as the Church’s partner in diplomacy — Chinese communism — attacks the very ground of Catholic witness.

My thoughts on being a responsible Catholic:
Ok what are our responsibilities anyways re. these atrocities? Are we to sit back and not speak out and condemn the torture and murder of millions upon millions of people by an evil Communist regime? How can we not say anything? And what about the Godless Christian Haters here at home? Are we to remain silent and just put tape over our mouths? Well I guess so because Father Theodore Rothrock a Faithful Catholic Priest here in North America Speaks the Truth about a Marxist Communist Organization and instead of his bishop supporting Father Rothrock, the good courageous priest who dares to call EVIL what it is gets the old heave ho.

Freedom, Socialism and Sharing in the Sufferings of Christ
Brilliant Homily by Father Altman who describes in vivid detail with video clips the anarchy, the violence, the countless burned police cars the 17,000 in National Guard called out, and he describes the estimated $400, 000,000 dollars in looting, pillaging, burning damages from just the 10 days.
" As we keep the roughly 3,000,000 dead and wounded Americans in the back of our minds, and as we ponder the despicable riots, looting and burning over the past 11 days, also keep in mind an amazing Truth.

from the Warning by Christine Watkins
"Right now is the time to tell the truth. God has asked that of me and of all His faithful. To tell the truth is to pay a consequence, such as being disliked, talked about, ridiculed, or avoided - the peer rejection that I formerly dodged at all costs. Only through suffering can we come to deeply know, and embody religious values. This is martyrdom in a way - an unbloody martyrdom, and we are all called to be martyrs. We can be, and we will be."

Pope John Paul II said
Pope John Paul II said :
“A particular problem of conscience can arise in cases where a legislative vote would be decisive for the passage of a more restrictive law, aimed at limiting the number of authorized abortions, in place of a more permissive law already passed or ready to be voted on. Such cases are not infrequent. It is a fact that while in some parts of the world there continue to be campaigns to introduce laws favouring abortion, often supported by powerful international organizations, in other nations-particularly those which have already experienced the bitter fruits of such permissive legislation-there are growing signs of a rethinking in this matter. In a case like the one just mentioned, when it is not possible to overturn or completely abrogate a pro-abortion law, an elected official, whose absolute personal opposition to procured abortion was well known, could licitly support proposals aimed at limiting the harm done by such a law and at lessening its negative consequences at the level of general opinion and public morality. This does not in fact represent an illicit cooperation with an unjust law, but rather a legitimate and proper attempt to limit its evil aspects.” (Evangelium Vitae, 73).

Violation of Freedom of Speech and Media Bias
For those of you who know me I think you know that one of my biggest pet peeves is the bias of our main stream media outlets. Well , because the Annual March for Life is coming up in a couple of days I thought it would be a good time to resurrect an article I wrote three years ago which I sent to approximately a dozen mainstream Canadian newspapers including The Ottawa Citizen and the Ottawa Sun. All of them ignored the article.
To the Editor
A few weeks ago I had a short discussion with a dinner guest re. Carleton University’s decision to ban pro-life groups on campus. The person believed that this was probably not a bad idea "because we are dealing with some very violent people here." I continued the conversation in an attempt to explain that to be Pro Life is to have the firm belief that all human life from the moment of conception until natural death is sacred and must be protected. Violent acts are contrary to what it is to be pro-life. Later on that evening I pondered this discussion.. False and biased news reports, will obviously result in conclusions that are inaccurate. Misuse of language can certainly taint one’s thinking. If one believes that human life is sacred and must be protected, we are often referred to as being "anti-choice," which in itself has a negative connotation. Sometimes we are called rabid anti-choicers, anti woman, fascists, bigots, etc.
I have never seen a pro-life person who wasn’t peaceful and joyful too for that matter.. We advocate for the most vulnerable human beings; those that society regards as disposable. It is the hope that we are saving lives that sustains our efforts and gives us peace and joy.
Incidentally, I do believe in choice. I call it free will. But some choices are immoral, like a man’s choice to rape a woman, or a parent’s choice to sexually abuse a child, or a thief’s choice to rob a bank. So, I’m "anti-choice" on rape, sexual abuse and bank robbery. How come no one complains about that?
I have attended The National March for Life on Parliament Hill each Spring for many years and the participants are always peaceful. Last year we were blessed to have many members of Silent No More: women who deeply regretted their decision to have an abortion. Each one of them said that if they had known the truth, they would never have had the abortion. http://www.canadasilentnomore.com/
After the speeches on the Hill, the crowd of 5,000 walked peacefully past Henry Morgantaler’s abortion clinic on Bank Street
The Life Chain is an Annual Pro-Life Event and it is always peaceful. One hour on a Sunday afternoon, we silently stand at different major intersections throughout Canada, holding signs such as Abortion hurts women, Abortion kills babies, Choose Adoption, Choose Life etc.
Dr. Angela Lanfranchi gave an excellent presentation on the abortion -breast cancer link, here in Ottawa last year. Dr. Lanfranchi is one of the co-founders of the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute and a member of Physicians for Life. Her presentation was ignored by our local media. Don’t women have a right to know the facts?

Bobby Schindler’s compelling and eloquent talk at Saint Paul's University here in Ottawa last spring, on the last days and the agonizing death of his sister Teri Schiavo’s had no local coverage either.
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2003/9/22/165543.shtml
http://www.blogsforterri.com/archives/2006/03/bobby_schindler_6.php
And what about the high statistics of depression, suicide, drug use and even murder associated with women who have had abortions? You won’t read about that in your local newspaper.
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2007/jan/07011007.html
The site of The 2005 National Pro-Life Conference in Montreal had to be changed at the last minute because of threats to Saint Joseph’s Oratory. Demonstrators against the Conference handed out condoms to passers-by labeled the body of Christ. They held a sign that said If only Mary ( the mother of Jesus ) had known about abortion. Protesters also pummeled one officer to the ground. For more information on this event
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2005/nov/05111704.html

http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2007/jan/07011007.html
We are one of the few countries without an abortion law and we have no protection for unborn victims of violence either. When Edmonton Woman Olivia Talbot, who was six months pregnant, was shot in the abdomen last year, two lives were lost, but many other lives were shattered. The man responsible was only charged with the murder of Olivia and not her son baby Lane. MP Leon Benoit’s Private Member’s Bill which would protect unborn victim’s of violence was deemed unconstitutional by then Justice Minister Vic Toeus . You would think there would be a public outcry but there wasn’t.
It seems that every time someone questions the high number of abortions or publicly states that they believe that life is sacred, there is an uproar by feminist "pro choice" groups who will cry foul, that someone even dares to have an opinion other than theirs. What are they afraid of anyways? It is a sad reflection on our supposedly tolerant society to see the discouragement of open honest and intellectual discussion in the very place that it is needed the most ( Universities) When the Truth is suppressed it follows that justice will be too.
footnote: eventually Catholic Insight did publish a portion of this article as a letter to the editor
