We are now coming to the end of "Respect Life Month" at our church. I'm not certain if it's just our dioces, the American church or the pope who made such a declaration. 
 
97% of what I heard...was anti-abortion. 
 
no mention of the death penalty...(where society, collectively, take a life)... 
no mention of war...(where citizens, collectively, participate in killing the innocent, with the quilty)... 
no mention about justice for the handicapped... 
a brief mention of opposition to euthanasia... 
no mention about violence inflicted on others... 
no mention about justice for the oppressed... 
no mention of respect for the poor... 
 
 
there are new edicts from Rome...about health care professionals were siners, excommunication, etc...for participating in reproductive services (ie pharmicists dispensing of The Pill). 
 
 
no mention to selling out, for political reasons, those who favor capital punishment, abandoning the poor, the week, the truly dependent, or who favor not only war, but, esentially, genocide.
