LETTERS: PRIEST TAKES CORRECT STAND ON ABORTIONS

To the editor:

To the person who called Speak Out and was so upset while attending Sunday Mass on April 14: We too heard the homily against the killing of innocent children. We attended the Holy Mass and were very proud to be a member of St. Mary's Cathedral and understood Father's condemning this killing of the unborn, half-born and, soon to be, the unwanted and nonproductive elderly.

We have been Catholic Christians for 80 years and are happy to have our holy father, Pope John Paul II, our bishops and our priests and our well-informed lay people speak out against this terrible shedding of blood in this holocaust war on the innocent.

If you have never heard a sermon against abortion in the Catholic church, you just were not listening.

Our hope and prayers for the next six months will be that the Holy Spirit will direct the voters in our United States to vote against our abortion president, Bill Clinton, who legalized all forms of killing of the innocent, unborn and half-born humans.

The priest was not wrong in his facts and descriptions of the late-term abortions. How else are children to be informed if not through the church's teaching?

He related exactly everything Congress watched on the film that was broadcast throughout the world on television later in the day. This was so the president could watch and know, so he had no excuse when he vetoed the bill.

God has given us the Ten Commandments. One reads, "Thou shalt not kill." He gave the commandments to all of us, even the children.
