If you were watching the convention on some of the major networks last evening, you might have missed Cardinal Dolan's closing prayer. The networks felt it "necessary" (ahem!) to cut away since there was so much necessary commentary that required immediate attention - you see?
Not to fear! With youtube and blogs such as this, you need not be deprived of the whole story. Cardinal Dolan lifted up many worthwhile intentions: including that the unborn be protected. No doubt that made Cecile Richards a little hot under the collar. (If she felt hot then, she'll really feel the heat if she dies unrepentant - but I digress).

ReplyDeleteOften have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say. 2 Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me. 3 The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have prolonged their iniquity. 4 The just Lord will hew asunder the necks of sinners: 5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion. 6 Let them be as grass upon the tops of houses: which withers before it be plucked up: 7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand: Nor he who binds sheaves, his arms. 8 And they that pass by say not: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
