I am embarrassed for faithful Catholics

I am not Roman Catholic, yet I am embarrassed for faithful Catholics when Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi express support for, indeed a "right" to abortion; that is a right to kill another human being, using their Catholic faith as the reason. The Roman church has been very very clear that they view abortion as anathema. Indeed, our congregatation views it the same way. So, it is interesting that in Florida, two Rabbis filed a complaint against the State of Florida citing its ban on abortion after 15 weeks. The Rev. Jim Harden has the story at the American Thinker entitled Is abortion a faith based expression?.

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, the pro-abortion side of America hastily grope to patch the gaping torpedo hole in their destroyer, and along with the pro-life community, realized that a new theater of battle is opening. No longer is abortion legal by default in all 50 states, as many already moved to regulate or nearly outlaw the practice completely. Like a cornered animal, the abortion industry is baring its four fangs, protecting its precious prey, and one of these fangs is surprisingly religious. We’ve seen the Biden administration dictate that religious people can still be religious while supporting abortion, and now, this kind of equivocation is being attempted.

On August 1 of this year, three rabbis in Florida filed a legal complaint against the state regarding the 15-week abortion ban. The rabbis argue that in Judaism, counseling women for abortion is an integral part of their religious expression. In their complaint, the rabbis point to the Old Testament, calling it the “….primary source of Jewish law and theology” and claim, “the sanctity of all human life is the core tenet of Judaism.”

It is odd that Rabbis filed the complaint considering that when Abraham went to sacrifice his only son, as did the followers of Moloch, God sent an angel to stop him just in the nick of time and then supplied a ram to sacrifice instead. Christians, as they spread throughout the world, eventally made the practice illegal throughout the Christian world. 

So it comes as no surprise that I am embarrassed for truly faithful Catholics, and of course other Christians as well, that two "leaders" who claim Catholicism openly support not only abortion as a "right" but also the governments efforts to pass a law making Roe the once again the law of the land again. Meanwhile Elizabeth Warren wants to put a stop to pro-life pregancy centers. I have no idea what faith, if any Elizabeth Warren holds, but the embedded article speculates that her faith may be in the dollar.  Perhaps that is the faith of the two "leaders" menitioned earlier?
