A Pro-Abortion US Knight of Malta?

Former DNC chairman says he has been invited to be a Knight despite pro-abortion views
By Peter J. Smith

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 31, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Terry McAuliffe, a Catholic and former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has submitted an application to the Knights of Malta, a prestigious order in the Catholic Church, despite his pro-abortion views placing him publicly at odds with the Catholic Church.
. . .
According to the Knights own website, McAuliffe fails to be a candidate to their order by their own requirements since an applicant must be "in good standing with the church"; an impossible situation on account of McAuliffe's pro-abortion views.

He boldly denies the Church's teaching on the sanctity of life...yet his 'pastor' recommends him for the Knights of Malta. What a bunch of pathetic clowns! They all make a mockery of Christ's passion and death and of His Church. They choose to spit in Christ's face and take charge of scourging Him without remorse. What kind of evil possesses these people?

For the life of me, I cannot understand why people like him and his abortion loving, baby killing friends and comrades don't surrender their wills to the the teachings of the Church. One's prideful and obstinate refusal to accept this teaching places him outside the Church. May Our Lord have mercy on them and on us!
