Ted Kennedy, 100% pro-death and anti-family voter in the american senate is lionised by Obama and the other culture of death peddlers in broad daylight at Boston's Our Lady of Perpetual Help basilica. That's a scandal that makes the Notre-Dame imbroglio a walk in the park. The saddest thing is that this comes as no surprise whatsoever. It actually reminds me of the funeral of a certain pro-death "catholic" prime-minister in a certain basilica of a certain diocese I won't name, either.

On the other hand, I'm hopeful that this awful partnership between death-peddling politicians and their clerical collaborators is coming to end (or at least subsiding). The next generation, from what I can see, is much more orthodox and willing to vigourously and faithfully defend a true culture of life centered on Christ.

A must read. Fr. Z ably refutes the idea that pro-lifers should tone it down on abortion and, perhaps, address "more pressing" problems first. He rightly sees that kind of idea as the equivalent of many perhaps sympathetic but uncomfortable whites during the civil rights movement, who may have admonished more "vocal" whites for "stirring the pot", "being harsh", and even inciting violence (violence they themselves often were victims of).

Today the pro-life movement is attacked, of course, from without, but also from within, from well meaning folk who loathe ruffling feathers. We have to convince these people that the battle to end the scourge of abortion won't necessarily be pretty.
