Excommunicate Paul Martin, already!!
Grave scandal continues to be caused by a Prime Minister who accepts abortion as a fait accompli, somehow compatible with his 'devout Catholicism'. It's more than time to let PM (and those who would be mislead by his ilk) know that he must choose between a faith of convenience and public adherence (at least not public non-adherence) to the basic moral and religious tenets of the Catholic Faith.

misled not mislead
I know from personal experience the scandal Paul Martin and Jean Chretien have caused to others.
It's sad - but I'm really quite concerned about the bishops who won't take these guys to task. They can't have it both ways, secular outlook and calling themselves good Catholics - something has to give. My own bishop is pretty outspoken, so I've got that to be thankful for.
I just read in the paper today how last night Paul Martin was scaremongering in a speech how Stephen Harper had a "secret agenda" (if only!) to take Canadians precious abortions and gay marriages away.
He isn't just disobeying his Church, he is mocking it.
We have one bishop in this country. The rest are all imposters.
There are many good bishops, but there are not many courageous ones. And there certainly are many who seem to have made their peace with secularism. They need our prayers (and our prodding, I fear).
I don't wish that Harper had a secret agenda - but I do wish that we had an articulate spokesman with some clout. I'd be willing to overlook most of Stockwell Day's other shortcomings if he would have only been willing to argue against abortion from principle. The arguments for abortion really aren't that hard to counter - why isn't there somebody taking on the elephant in the living room?
