…but if you want to see a bunch of people decide to throw their souls away during lent, this is the way to do it:

pro-lifers hoped that the Obama Pro-Lifers might really oppose Obama’s pro-abortion policies. They dreamed that Doug Kmiec might actually do some good, by using Obama’s listening ear by convincing him to moderate his extremist abortion agenda.

This was sort of like figuring that China was going to be nicer if they got the Olympics or Buckley and Brooks assuring us the president is a moderate. Guess what:

The Obama Pro-Lifers’ letter has smashed any such hopes. They have declared full-scale war against Catholic and evangelical pro-life political activity. In its place they seek elevate themselves as the arbiters of their own Vichy Catholicism and liberal Christianity, which actually supports the specific goals of an abortion-loving government regime.

Doug Kmiec’s group is as much “Catholics United” as North Korea is a “Democratic People’s Republic”.

As they claim to be active Catholics and some are theologians they must know the three requirements for Mortal Sin. Grave Matter (Abortion), Understanding (They claim knowledge and faith), and Conscious decision (They put their names on the letter).

Hey I’m a sinner and I’m going to need to hit confession today myself in that spirit might I suggest that these people take advantage of the same sacrament. They have the rest of their lives to do it.

After that they’re on their own.
