And the True Villain Reveals Himself

Amy Welborn has posted a follow-up on yesterday's story about the deacon who called out the pro-abort politician during Mass. Check out what the pro-abort Catholic politico has to say about his Church:

"The lesson here is that the Catholic Church has enough problems and should take greater care before allowing nonpriests to use the church as a forum to advance what clearly was a political agenda," Higgins said.

Do I detect the hint of a threat in that statement? At the very least, this dirtbag seems to be saying that the Church is so compromised by "enough problems" [read: clergy scandal] that it should just keep quiet about it's teachings on the sanctity of life, which, according to said politico amounts to "advanc[ing] ... a political agenda".

As for the jerk's comments about a "nonpriest" being "allowed" to "use" the Church, please realize that he is talking about an ordained deacon - a member of the clergy who has as much authority to preach and teach as the bishop himself. Unfortunately, the bishop and pastor have chosen to forego that opportunity to guide their flock in order to play suck-up to the pro-abort.

Finally, Amy also points out the rather dramatic shift in the voting record on life issues of this steaming pile as he went from the state level to the national level.
