Today I submitted the following to the editor of the Press & Sun Bulletin, Binghamton, New York........
"What is at stake is by no means whether our German members of congregations can tolerate church fellowship with Jews. It is rather the task of Christian preaching to say: here is the church, where Jew and German stand together under the Word of God, here is the proof whether a church is still the church or not." Bonhoefer, Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy," by Eric Metaxas
After listening to and weighing what appears to be going on between this White House and the Catholic Church, it is hard not to conclude that the Catholic Church is in the middle of capitulating its long held doctrines in ways that are both strikingly and frighteningly similar to what took place in the early days of Hitler's Germany, with the then strong German Protestant Church. Democrats, it seems, have decided to recast abortion rights issues in different terminology because they are going into an election year. While the Catholic Church has been a strong advocate pro-life advocate, they have not stood their ground in regards to their church's supposed position on contraception. Knowing that abortion is no longer an issue to run on, Democrats are swapping out language. Abortion is being substituted for "contraception", and in doing so have subtly invited the Catholic Church to stand beside them in this "compromise". This is exactly the kind of political shell games that took place in Hitler's Germany, a planned strategy that had one end in sight - to draw certain key church leaders into its utopian dream, and to invite them to share in the power and glory.
Well, they did!
