When in concurrence, good parishioners like Bernie Saffell would put their names to Msgr. William Awalt’s letters so that they might be published. Here is one that was sent to The Catholic Standard. Bernie was a dear friend to us all. As I recall, he died back in the 1990’s due to an infection from a heart procedure with angioplasty.
Letter to the Editor of the Catholic Standard
With tongue in cheek, but I do believe with a little bit of logic, it might be better to change Father’s Day to National Stud Day in view of recent developments in National life.
Listen to people as they gather around a crib of a newborn child and say he has his father’s eyes, or nose, etc. Now “lawmakers” who fine and/or imprison those who don’t support “their” child tell us a father doesn’t even have to be told when his child is tortured and destroyed through abortion. Paid butchers now for fear of malpractice suits have to make sure they destroy and mutilate a child in the womb during an abortion lest by accident the child live and they could be sued. This they do to the father’s child without even having to tell him. Talk about withholding information “until the next of kin is notified.” One doesn’t have to be a lawyer or a genius to know that abortion is the killing of human life.
One of our justices doesn’t believe in overturning prior Supreme Court decisions if proven incorrect. We’d still have slavery if that were the case. Someone else says you can kill a child if conception came about through incest or rape. Why does the tragedy of that conception allow an innocent child to be killed for his father’s sin? What did the baby do wrong? Does one tragedy justify another? Someone else is running around with semen looking for a place to implant it. Doesn’t that make a “father” a stud? We are responsible for all our choices. Why are we not responsible for “pro-choice” deciding to kill a child? Certainly we are free to choose but morally responsible for the results of that choice.
Radical feminists claim that their body is their own, but so is the baby’. The child is housed by the mother, but not her body. Potential fathers are killed in the womb by a sex-choice decision that causes them to be aborted.
When are good and wonderful fathers going to rise up and say enough is enough? You can’t do this to my daughter and son. I am not a stud but a father, and trying to be an image of our heavenly Father who loves all life, especially that made in His image and likeness.
Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. The road to madness in abortion is paved with illogic, sentiment run amuck. The Constitutional fathers are spinning in their graves as they are accused of being the authors of a constitution that supposedly allows the killing of unborn babies.
