When "Social Justice" Becomes Scandal

From a dear Wisconsin friend, we learn:

A Catholic Church in Hudson, Wisconsin, Diocese of Superior, to to host FIVE pro-abortion politicians for a Social Justice forum, February 23, 2008.

St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Hudson, Wisconsin, Social Justice Conference "Healthcare 2008--Addressing Disparity Through Policy, Programs and Individual Actions."

Hudson Star Observer article
Invited politicians and/or representatives: U.S. Senators Kohl, Feingold; U.S. Rep. Ron Kind; Wisc. Senator Sheila Harsdorf; Wisc. Rep. Kitty Rhoades (voting records listed below).

The Wisconsin State Assembly has passed legislation mandating that all Wisconsin hospitals, including religiously-affiliated hospitals, must inform any self-described victim of sexual assault of “emergency contraception” and must provide it upon her request.

Two of the five pro-death politicians invited to this forum, Wisconsin Sen. Harsdorf and Wisconsin Rep. Rhoades (a Catholic and parishioner of St. Patrick's), voted pro-abortion, anti-Catholic, on this bill. The other U.S. representatives, U.S. Senators Kohl and Feingold, are both pro-death, both voting for partial-birth infanticide; U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, pro-death and voted for partial-birth infanticide.

Please respectfully e-mail or call Fr. Parr (pastor, St. Patrick's) and Bishop Christensen and ask them to uphold the USCCB statement that states: "the Catholic community and Catholic institutions" should not honor those "who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles" with awards, honors, or "platforms which would suggest support for their actions." …

It's get out the vote time, so some "Catholics" put party before faith, and choose to call it "Social Justice." Those who support and promote the murder of the innocent unborn deserve no platform regardless of the topic of their "talks."

Their words ring hollow because they deny justice to the defenseless unborn and deprive them of their most basic right - the right to life. Catholics who promote (and allow) this kind of activity cause grave scandal among the faithful - pray for their sorry souls, especially during this Lenten season.
