Via In Pectore.
"The contraceptive mentality has eroded the foundations of our contemporary American family by weakening marriage and destroying the mutual trust between men and women which is the necessary cement that holds together any committed relationship. Legalized abortion has coarsened our regard for human life in all its stages as utilitarian criteria are more increasingly used to grant value or to decree no value to human beings, the slippery slope that pro-life leaders warned against in 1973 has arrived. Euthanasia, so-called therapeutic embryonic stem cell research, cloning are showing that Roe v. Wade reveals itself as the fault line of our culture which threatens the future of our democracy with a moral earthquake. Our culture needs some retrofitting as well. Roe v. Wade must be reversed."
As In Pectore points out, His Grace is only 53 and the coadjutor bishop of Orlando. Why do they send the good bishops to diocese that, to a New Yorker, are seemingly arcane? I can't wait for the day we hear of Cardinal Bruskewitz, Archbishop of New York and Cardinal Chaput, Archbishop of Los Angeles. Perchance to dream. Instead they stick these folks in Nebraska and Colorado (respectively) and give New York the mindless bureaucract/enemy-of-Christ Egan whilst Los Angeles has Mahoney, the demon cardinal.
