Brazilian Archbishop on Pro-Abortion Politicians

The Brazilian Archbishop Emeritus who tried to prevent a nine-year old girl from undergoing an abortion has spoken out against politicians who support abortion and those who support such politicians. He denounced abortion and...

* reminded that "the Law of God is above any human law"

* said that "the silence of so many people [regarding abortion] is extremely worrisome, especially by those who are in public office"

* reminded that "Silence can be interpreted as tacit acceptance, and it can constitute complicity in the practice of abortion" [Refresher: Ways of being an accessory to sin]

* said that "honest citizens" cannot vote for politicians who defend "abortion, divorce or other violations of the Law of God. Such candidates cannot represent...any honest citizen"

May all U.S. bishops follow suit in issuing clear moral direction for voters!
