In December 2018, Irish TDs took part in several votes regarding amendments to the impending abortion legislation. As the amendments proposed to the legislation became more specific, the vindictiveness of the pro abortion politicians became more apparent.
‘There is a growing polarisation within the Catholic Church and by certain groups who seem to think that they have a right, self-righteously, to proclaim threats in the name of how they understand the truth. We have seen examples in our own days. The truth will only be attained in love. Error will only be refuted in love. Nastiness and hatred betray the message of love’.
Once abolish the God and the government becomes the God - GK Chesterton
During the last few days of May, there was only one news story being talked about in Ireland.
That story was the farcical (but hilarious) abandoned court case being brought on behalf of TD Maria Bailey.
Do you ever look outside the window and think to yourself, ‘What would it be like if Christ were out there now, walking around as one of us?’ Well, He was.
Before the Referendum to remove the right to life of the unborn child, prolife supporters repeatedly warned of the consequences of living in a country where the unborn had no rights.
Warning after warning were arrogantly mocked by pro abortion supporters and by those who naively believed that the referendum was merely about medically necessary procedures, not abortion by choice.
No aborted child deserves to have been killed.
That those children are alive from the moment of conception is without doubt, that they have a right to live independent of the will of any human being is without doubt and that they are as dignified as those humans who emerge from the womb without suffering their brutal fate is also without doubt.
Why then, are they treated with the disdain and debasement normally reserved for criminality?
The most incredible thing about miracles, according to GK Chesterton, is that they happen.
And if we are reminded of the miracle of our mere existence at any particular points throughout the year, those are during the seasons of Advent and Lent.
