It's heartening to know that Mr. Giuliani will not debate the Holy Father. No doubt, Mr. Guiliani was impressed by the lightening strike which disabled the sound system and TV air waves as he was about to say something stupid during the recent Republican Presidential candidates' debate. And besides, the College of Cardinals elects the Pope not the people of NYC and the USA. So debating skills are not required. But holiness is. Mr. Guiliani has a long way to go yet on the journey.
Is the "Communion Rail" the appropriate time and place for the Catholic Bishops and Priests to fight the battle against abortion? No, not if we heed the pastoral advice of His Emminence Theodore Cardinal McCarrick, former Archbishop of the Dioceses of Washington DC and Newark NJ. It's not and was not meant to be a line of demarcation for pro-life versus pro-abortion.
What happened to the pastoral ways and means used by Bishops like Fulton J. Sheen? Have our Catholic Bishops and Priests forgotton how to pastor? Is punishment their first and only option? These are not God's ways.
4000 babies are killed each and every day by abortions. It's sinful and shameful. An abomination. And against the Church and the Commandments. But the Bishops and Priests should do what they are supposed to do to change peoples' wrong ways. And that's pastor. And do it in the way that the Lord would have them do it. The right way. Not from the Communion Rail but from the Pulpit.
