What Catholic would want to miss this event?

Catholics for a Free Choice is planning to hold a protest this month against the Vatican.

(What a bad name "CFFC" - We already have free choice - the choice to choose the good, or the choice to reject God and all that is good. How about "Catholics who are not Catholic, but want to go to hell anyway"?)

If what she (Frances Kissling) says is true about a woman's right to control her own body, why doesn't her agenda include drugs and prostitution? Laws against those are just as restrictive to a woman's right to choose what she will or will not do with her own body as are laws against abortion. Choice....hmmmm?

Anyway this blurb is on the action alert page.

WHY SHOULD I PROTEST THE VATICAN AND MARCH WITH CFFC?

Because Catholics are prochoice.
Conservative Catholics want all Americans to believe that you can’t be Catholic and prochoice, but the majority of Catholics ARE prochoice. Let’s show them our strength.

Because Catholic policy makers are under unprecedented attack from conservative Catholic groups.
As we approach the 2004 elections, we need to support our prochoice Catholic candidates. Hundreds of legislators have been targeted for defeat by conservative Catholic groups. They have launched advertising campaigns naming names, including John Kerry, who is expected to be the first prochoice Catholic presidential candidate. Don’t let the US bishops and right-wing Catholics speak for you.

Because too many women have been harassed by those claiming to speak for the church.
For too long, Catholic women have been treated badly by the church. Show your support for these women.

Because silence and inaction in the face of injustice is not the Catholic way.
Catholicism stands for freedom of conscience, democracy and pluralism.

Because your voice is fundamental against fundamentalism.
The greatest threat to women today is religious fundamentalism – whatever the faith, whatever the party. Sadly, Roman Catholic fundamentalists and the Bush administration have launched a war on women which must be stopped. Please march with CFFC to protest the attack on women’s rights!

This will be curious to watch. Of course, the Truth is "fundamental" to life and to eternal union with God, so it must be attacked.

Action Alert here. (Proceed with Caution)
