Dear Friend,
You can't fix fifty years of bad bishops in three months.
For over five decades, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has refused to prioritize the defense and dignity of human life by enforcing Canon 915 to protect the Eucharist from sacrilege.
On Tuesday, a majority of self-professed Catholics in Ohio voted to enshrine abortion into their state constitution.
The Magisterium of the Catholic Church teaches us that if we accept the Eucharist in a state of mortal sin, the juxtaposition creates a contradiction -- a crux -- in each soul that does so. A contradiction in a nation where only 1 in 4 Catholics believe in the Real Presence of Christ.
Want to know what that sort of contradiction looks like? It looks like this: |
If we cannot defend the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist, how on earth did we ever expect to defend human life in Ohio?
Canon 915 says something very simple and worth defending: |
Planned Parenthood -- the nation's #1 abortion chain -- isn't going to stop with Ohio.
SO WHERE ARE THE CATHOLIC BISHOPS??
Want to know why only 1 in 4 Catholics believe in the Real Presence? Because the USCCB defends and promotes environmentalism with more feeling and emphasis than they do defending babies.
Because they are willing to fund things such as the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) and their Alinskyite social justice campaigns rather than defend babies.
These same Catholic bishops continue to give the likes of Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi the Holy Eucharist, despite their open opposition to Catholic moral teaching on abortion and the dignity of human life.
If our own Catholic bishops will not defend the Holy Eucharist, then how on earth did they ever expect to beat back the Ohio referendum?!
Like I said, three months isn't going to turn back 50 years of lukewarm tepidity.
American Life League is the oldest and one of the largest Catholic pro-life grassroots organization in the country. We will defend the right to exist for every human person without exception, without compromise, and without apology.
Your immediate rushed gift of $100 will help us send the message to our Catholic bishops and priests that we are SICK AND TIRED of our own shepherds refusing to defend Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
Of course, there are dozens of Catholic bishops who believe what you and I believe, and thousands more priests who are faithful to the Magisterium.
We need to encourage faithful Catholics, faithful bishops, and faithful priests that they are not alone.
I can't do this alone. Only the voices of millions of faithful Catholics just like you are going to turn the tide.
So join me by CLICKING HERE with an immediate gift of $100, $50 or even just $35 before November 15th so we can tell the bishops with one voice: ENFORCE CANON 915.
I wouldn't ask unless it mattered. I know it matters to you. Please be assured that it matters to millions of others as well... and we will make our voices heard!
Yours Humbly in Christ, |
Hugh R. Brown
Executive Vice President
American Life League PS: Remember that the Catholic Faith doesn't defend itself. Our values require faithful Catholics willing to stand up and be counted TODAY.
PPS: That is why I am begging you to help American Life League defend the Holy Eucharist by asking our Catholic bishops and priests to do the right thing and ENFORCE CANON 915 with a rushed gift of $100 or even just $50 or $35 straight away.
If we cannot defend the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist, how on earth did we ever expect to defend human life in Ohio? |
