I may have to quote you on that and put in a letter to the Trib and Sun-Times.

You're right, Mark, but until EVERY bishop says the same thing, pro-choicers will point to other bishops to prove their point that it's all about freedom of conscience.

These people want bishops to say "Make up your own mind, according to your conscience," and condemn only those who defy THAT doctrine.

And they are in the ascendancy, in this country, as long as even one bishop can be pointed to who says "I'm not going to deny anyone Holy Communion, because I don't see that as my role" or "I don't want to use the Eucharist as a weapon," or "I don't want wrestling matches at the rail."

That strikes me as surrender masquerading as forbearance.

Regarding the whole thing I have several words to consider for everyone to pray about.

Here they are:
1. faith
2. hope
3. love

1 COR 13..."The greatest of these is love." Apply with prayer.

Put your wrestling gloves down because no one gets hurt.

Oh yeah, prayer. Do remember that one and JUST DO IT.
