St Camillus Church Mocks The Stations Of The Cross

Apparently National Catholic Reporter is not the only institution that is on the "bastardize the Passion" bandwagon.  My colleague at An Archdiocese of Washington Catholic (right side bar) alerted me to an unconventional and dare I say uncharitable absconding of the Stations of the Cross by St Camillus Church in Takoma Park MD.  An article about the mess appeared in the Takoma Park issue of the Gazette

We see that the parish is pushing the pastors' opinions of such matters as immigration and climate change on its parishioners.  I leave it to my colleague to analyze that.  I will say that at the end of the article, Mr. Mario Amleu uttered words of wisdom that the pastor would do well to heed - as would we all.  Read for yourselves.

Shall We Call This "Station-Gate"?

Below is the take of Real Catholic TV regarding the juvenile antics of CCHD, first in their misuse of the Stations of the Cross to trumpet their left-wing cronies. Then when they're caught with hand in the proverbial cookie jar, they try to remove the evidence. Here is Michael Voris..

CCHD Profanes Stations of the Cross - Then Tries to Hide Their Malfeasance

The lines in green were writen last night as I started this post.

The "lenten carbon fast" was bad enough.  Now we have the CCHD turning the Stations of the Cross into props to push the agendas of their left-wing anti-life allies  http://www.usccb.org/lent/CCHD-Groups-WayoftheCrossStationsTextBooklet.pdf

Well, a lot happened between then and now.  The Reform CCHD Now Coaltion did their own analysis.  Oddly enough, (ahem!) just a short while later, the above link to the perverted "stations" became defunct!  Well!  Whatever could have happened?  I think we all know the answer to that now, don't we?

I had opened the page last night and left it open.  After receiving "discomike's" comment below, I saved that pdf to my computer, so that I could make it available to you right here!  Save it to your own computer if you wish, but this one ain't goin' nowhere

Now let's get down to business!  These "stations", rather than contemplating Our Lord's Passion and Death, celebrate various left-wing and/or anti-life cabals.  For the second excuse of a station, CCHD lauds the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition.  They do partner and support abortion-rights activists.  For instance, the OVEC website links to this website, which makes quite an admission.  We read, "The moral arguments about abortion rarely consider the physical limits of the planet, but if they did, and if abortion were put into the context of the long history of human attempts to avoid starvation by regulating population growth, we might come to a different conclusion about what "pro-life" really means."  Read the whole thing.  The pro-abort folks know that their arguments for baby-murder are ringing hollow, and this frosts them!  By the way - look at the OVEC logo.  Doesn't the outline resemble an - acorn?

The third thing celebrates Baltimore's United Workers' Association.  They have allied themselves with Healthcare Now of MD, that is actively pulling for the Obama Hell bill, abortion and all.  By the way - if you want a look at who the left-wing major players are in Maryland, check out the website of "Progressive Maryland".

Station 5 tells us about Metropolitan Organizing Strategy Enabling Strength (MOSES).  Their website reveals yet another proponent of the Obama Hell bill.  They are Gamaliel affiliates.  Station 6 ballyhoos about the Pima County Interfaith Council: who happen to be affiliates of the Industrial Areas Foundation.

I will now refer you to the analysis of Pewsitter and Reform CCHD Now.  Once again, the CCHD demonstrates that it does not deserve one red penny from any Catholic.
