Good For Peter Kreeft!

Kreeft: It would be wonderful if 100 bishops got thrown in jail for marching with graphic images

That is the title of the Lifesite News article in which we see Kreeft decrying the deplorable refusal of so many bishops to attend pro-life efforts because of the presence of graphic abortion pictures.  He asks a great question, that I'll repost here: "What is wrong with exposing people to the truth?  Suppose you were allowed to show the horrors in Auschwitz to the average German citizen?  It might have toppled Hitler earlier.  If something horrible is happening, covering it up is more horrible."  
 
I wonder if these same bishops are in the habit of removing their pectoral crosses, that show the Crucified Body of Our Lord.
 
To my fellow pro-lifers who put themselves in the "squeemish camp", I have this to say.  The graphic signs at the abortion mills work.  They save babies!  Why do you think the pro-abortion folks are so itchy to vandalize them and to have them removed and even banned?  Please - decide that you are going to get over that squeemishness immediately.  If they cause discomfort (and they should), please offer it up and join in solidarity and prayer with the babies for whom such horror is the last thing they know in their short time in this life.

To All You "Nice" Catholics Reading This Blog

NEWS FLASH!  "Nice" is not a word found in the Bible.  It is not listed therein nor in Sacred Tradition as being a virtue!  The same goes for "being positive". Here's another one - "Unity" is not a supreme good, as it must be based on objective truth.  All that being said, here's some sober truth that we all need to hear.  If the following seems harsh to you, pray to the Lord to give you some intestinal fortitude, some thickening of your skin, and some calcium in your spine.  After the events of this weekend, you'll need these qualities, with fidelity to the Lord and His Church, lest you be swept away.  Now watch...



Of course what I said above goes double for the clergy.  We pray that you be true men of God and his Church, as opposed to minions of the USCCB, etc.
