Your Excellencies,

I am not an educated man, so I find it challenging at times to comprehend why issues are the way they are, so my prayer is that you would enlighten me if I am proper or wrong in my opinions and beliefs, and I thank you in advance.

I want to share an alarming scripture verse that was brought to my attention by a dear pro-life friend of mine. The quotation was as such, “If you remain indifferent in time of adversity, your strength will depart from you. Rescue those who are becoming dragged to death and from these tottering to execution withdraw not.” (Pr. 24: ten-12) It may possibly be difficult and controversial to speak on the horror of abortion. But Jesus said “Anybody who wants to save his life will shed it” (Matthew 16: 25). I respect and honor you as successors of the Apostles and I look to you for guidance.

In the past I have written letters to our neighborhood Bishops, but surprisingly I have not but received a response. My concern is the abortion concern. So a lot of babies are dying a horrific death, in excruciating discomfort. My belief is that we can no longer stay idle or indifferent. With the understanding we possess on fetal development we really should be shouting it from the rooftops, “Sufficient is enough.”

I think wholeheartedly that the norm by which God will judge the planet is the abortion issue. Prior to 1973, I came to the realization of the horror of abortion and the realization that our nation could fall into condemnation for this hideous crime. I was overcome with fear and physically immobilized. To this day, I do not realize how this nation, under God, allowed such a travesty.

Blessed John Paul the Fantastic coined a phrase, “the culture of death.” Archbishop Burke stated that the Democratic Party is becoming the “party of death.” I would like to disagree – they are not becoming, but they have grow to be the party of death. I recently read a book, known as, “Can a Catholic be a Democrat?” The subtitle is, “How the Party I loved became the enemy of my Religion.”I want to quote a handful of lines from the book. “In the United States these days, there is a Culture War amongst the secularists and the classic Christians… In this Culture War the national Democratic Party has teamed up with the secularists and their allies.. The Democratic Party, as soon as strongly identified with the widespread man, is now dominated by upper- and upper- middle class ideologues. An additional book I very suggest reading is “The Party of Death” by Ramesh Penury. It chronicles the descent of the Democrat party into the culture of death and gay marriage.

Getting read by means of the book, my conclusion is that the Democrats have turn out to be the party of death. They have embraced gay marriage, abortion, embryonic stem cell research, cloning and euthanasia as their party platform. My question is, we that vote Democrat, are we not responsible for advertising their agenda? It is my understanding that the Church puts emphasis on the five non-negotiables as a guideline on how we really should vote. Every principle we stand against has been embraced by the Democrats in reference to the life troubles. I remember a quotation from Blessed John Paul II concerning the life concerns: “The typical outcry which is justly created on behalf of human rights- for example, the proper to heath, to residence, to work, to loved ones, to culture- is false and illusory if the right to life, the most basic and fundamental correct and the condition for all other individual rights is not defended with maximum determination” (Christifideles Laici 38).

As a norm, we can no longer vote Democrat. I was analyzing the Obama vote. He reinstated the Mexico City policy, enabling cash for abortion to go around the world. A pro-alternative vote empowers the death culture to promote abortion and now homosexuality worldwide with our tax funds. The Obama administration also funded embryonic stem cell research, which in layman’s terms means the destruction of embryos that are alive and put to death for experimentation. We can not let Obama to regain the White Home in 2012, due to the fact of his health care strategy which promotes abortion and contraception. According to Pro-Life sources, it is the largest expansion of abortion given that Roe v. Wade. My query to you is how do we channel this information to the masses if we don’t hear it from the pulpit. We are talking about a man that voted to kill a child born alive right after a botched abortion. I am quite zealous more than this concern, and I hope you can comprehend why.

My concern is how culpable do we stand ahead of God? It’s my belief that Hell is a matter of option or the lack thereof. The Church teaches, as you well know, that we sin each with commission and omission and all sin has a social aspect – both wounding the Mystical Body of Christ as nicely as the entire human community. Likewise, laws and policies have a tendency to impact international conditions. When one thing is brought to our information, we have an obligation to respond faithfully. We just had the Philippines fall to the contraceptive mentality. Funds given by way of the Mexico City policy enacted by Obama (on the second day in workplace) enabled Planned Parenthood to lobby for acceptance of contraception in the Philippines. This and other actions accomplished all through the planet have brought a direct conflict among Catholic principles and the existing Democratic administration. To continue to help such individuals is to hurt our own Christian stand – it is, indeed, hypocritical due to the fact it is in direct conflict with our Catholic-Christian moral values.

We have been attempting to finish abortion for the last 39 years. But somehow, we continuously vote into office politicians that will continue the legalization of abortion, and who now help the homosexual agenda. We can no longer stay silent, nor cower more than the fact that it may offend someone or some group. Is it a matter of becoming pastoral – worry of losing parishioners or our tax exempt status that we stay silent? It is my understanding that silence assists the oppressor never ever the victims.

In fear of getting redundant, I want to reiterate my point on voting Pro-Choice. If we continue to vote for such men and women we will in no way finish abortion. These politicians will often vote pro-option, which in layman terms implies pro-abortion, pro-death. These babies are dying in excruciating discomfort, and we that vote pro-alternative are indirectly responsible for the death of these babies. Again, I ask, how responsible will we stand just before God on judgment day? With all the information we have, will we dare say I didn’t know on the day of judgment? The Bishops’ have stated that it is not a mortal sin when we vote for a pro-choice candidate for reasons other than abortion. It might be accurate that it really is not a mortal sin but it really is mortal for the babies. I believe it is grave matter that cries out for our thoughtful compassion and reaction. A cry for mercy. Today, we have a window into the womb with our three and 4 dimensional sonograms which offers us a view on fetal development which leaves us no doubt that it’s a infant. We have also observed the images of the aborted babies. So it’s beyond me how an individual can vote pro- selection then afterwards, want to receive Holy Communion, thinking about what’s going on in our society in regards to abortion. (i.e. the culture of death).My query to you is can a individual remain in a state of grace immediately after voting against life? I personally believe that the Lord will not stay unengaged when a individual is voting, it appears impossible to me. Calling to thoughts what is taught in scripture about the reception of the Holy Eucharist can anyone vote Pro-Selection and not shed his state of grace. I believe that the Eucharist is the implies by which the abortion situation will lastly finish. So my intention is to promote Eucharistic Adoration. Mother Teresa of Calcutta said you want to finish abortion go devote some time at Adoration.

Fr. Richard Perozich, a priest of the diocese of San Diego, place out an e-mail in October 2010, entitled, “Priest to Catholic voters: “Quit getting stupid!” In element, in his e-mail he says, “O stupid Catholics, who has bewitched you?” a takeoff on Galatians 3. He also states, “To you politicians who promote non-Catholic values, I will not vote for you just so your opponent will not get into workplace. If you do not represent me, you do not have my vote. I don’t want your government income. I don’t want your tips of equality, fairness, and justice. I don”t want your health care. I am not a prostitute who sells my vote for temporal benefits.” Powerful language, but it’s some thing that needs to be said against the brutality by which the babies are becoming dealt with.

An additional 1 of my concerns is the immigration problem, with all the talk about it, it must be remembered that abortion is nonetheless a lot graver. In San Antonio – a center of the immigration situation, exactly where practically 70% of abortions are among Hispanics, even though we have a habit of voting Democrat. Some of our babies finish up in the sewer plant as their final resting location. How do we bury these babies? We are named to be merciful and bury the dead. My fear is that if the Democrats run with the immigration problem, millions a lot more babies will die, simply because of their pro-death stance. My hope is that you will promote the 40 days for life with a vengeance in your diocese. We require people on the sidewalk 24/7.I think evangelization and education is important to ending abortion. Educating the masses on the horror of abortion and what can be completed to end it. But if our church leaders do not get involved the injustice will continue against the babies. Ezekiel (ch. 3) teaches us that our call is to proclaim sinners to repentance – failure to do so brings judgment on ourselves.

In defense of Fr. Frank Pavone, I think he has a ministry inside a ministry and I pray to God, in Jesus’ Name, and by means of Our Lady’s intercession that things will resolve in his favor and that of the prolife movement.

We appreciate your leadership and commitment in the Pro-Life movement in our nation. We thank you for what you have carried out and are carrying out. We assure you of our committed prayer for you, our shepherd’s. The one last factor I ask is that you would pray for a new boldness in defending the unborn and the life troubles Amen…
