New Order Bishops Sanction Murder
"Conservative" Catholics hang on to the Church of the New Order,
not liking the "New Mass" and the "New Faith," but gritting their
teeth. They say to themselves: "I don't like the Novus Ordo, but I
must obey, obey, obey. At least the bishops stand against abortion."
Well, not any more.
House Bill 1242, authored by Representative Sally Sandvig (D-Fargo)
and co-sponsored by Senator Russell Thane (R-Wahpeton) would create a
new section of the North Dakota criminal code: "A person is guilty of
a class AA felony if the person intentionally destroys or terminates
the life of a preborn child." Rep. Sandvig introduced the Preborn
Child Protection Act at the request of Fargo pro-life attorney Peter
B. Crary, who resides in her district.
In response to a letter from Attorney Crary requesting support for
the bill, Christopher Dodson, Executive Director of the North Dakota
Catholic Conference, stated that the bill was unacceptable to the
North Dakota (Novus Ordo) Bishops Paul A. Zipfel (Bismarck) and Samuel
J. Aquila (Fargo), who have flatly refused to endorse a bill
criminalizing abortion because it "servers no legitimate purpose." So,
to Novus Ordo bishops saving a life now serves no purpose.
Moreover, even if the proposed legislation were to grant the mother
legal immunity for killing her own child, it still would not pass
muster with the Novus Ordo Bishops of North Dakota because it lacks
"realistic possibility of withstanding constitutional scrutiny."
Well, isn't that just what the Novus Ordo Catholic politicians say?
"I have to uphold the civil law because I am a government
representative first and a Catholic second." How, then, can the Novus
Ordo bishop of Sacramento say anything against the California governor
who takes this same position? The Novus Ordo is hoist by its own
petard -- again!
"As a Catholic I am ashamed," Mr. Crary said. The North Dakota
Bishops do give lip service to the protection of innocent life.
However, by refusing to challenge in any manner the Supreme Court
mandate set forth in Roe v. Wade, my own [Novus Ordo] Bishops
have acquiesced to the Culture of Death."
Well, Mr. Crary and you Catholic "conservatives" out there, you'd
better bail out of the Novus Ordo now before it sinks to the bottom
and get yourselves to the islands of traditional Catholicism all
around. As the Introit from last Sunday indicated: Laetentur
insulae multae [The many islands shall rejoice.] Surely, the ship
of the New Order isn't rejoicing any these days!
