Pro Life Saint Doesn't Have to Be Saintly to the Devil

Whether Phil Leahy is a truly saintly man may indeed be a matter of opinion, but that he had the right to stand and voice his beliefs in accordance with laws, is without question. And no one had a right to do violence upon him because of a difference of opinion. A good journalist would have recognized that right; and a journalistically trained editorial writer would have defended Mr. Leahy’s right.
To mimic the headline of the “Leahy is not a Saint at all” article, Southwestern Women's Options Clinic is not a clinic to all. It doesn’t heal. It destroys. Its perpetrator, Dr. Curtis Boyd is no Doctor either. He destroys late term babies that will have their futures ended by having their brains sucked out with a syringe. That is not even to mention that better than 50% of those babies are female. That is also not to mention that the reason this death mill operates has nothing to do with the altruistic proffer that "women should have a right" to choose. Actually, it has to do with the price of the so called very dangerous service at $5000 a pop increasing $1000 a pop for every week the woman delays. And in most cases, a full blown "suck out" of a late term human being costs upwards of $20,000; the typical cost of the chemical version that allows a woman the privacy of her own hotel room toilet at $10,000.
In Gutierrez-Krueger's words vis a vis the words of a clinic client: "They (referring to Leahy) shame clients, shout at them about saving their souls and their “babies,” scare them into believing the false notion that all an abortion gets them is unending physical and emotional pain and a nonrefundable ticket to fiery pits of hell." It is sad that the author opines as if she had herself been somehow attacked by Mr. Leahy. Mr. Leahy has never nor has any other credible Christian prolife advocate invoked a curse upon anyone.  Christianity is about mercy, not condemnation. If Mr. Leahy is guilty of anything, he is guilty of showing a little mercy to the voiceless child in the womb. The  real guilt rightly belongs to those sponsoring, advocating, the allurement of this false "choice." To quote Satan, "If you eat of the fruit, you will be like God." My article in the renowned theological publication Homiletics and Pastoral Review spells out the origin of this false choice: https://www.hprweb.com/2018/01/dr-curtis-boyd-abortionist/ 
To Ms. Gutierrez-Krueger: Please go back to Journalism school and learn that the best editorials are written by journalists who intrepidly wrote news articles that were about such objective things as “following the money.” The shameful and corrupt aspect of the entire abortion debacle is in the death of the unborn as an “industry,” the Planned Parenthood and market to increase profitability.
As for Mr. Leahy, no one ever canonized him but he was a good and decent man with one single purpose, to love humanity enough to try to stop its destruction of itself. And at a minimum, all he was doing was exercising his free speech. Like Gutierrez-Krueger, devil once said: "You don't get the moral superiority." I'd think twice about that advice. I know that Mr. Leahy didn't exercise any more moral superiority than any of the prophets of old. Nevertheless, the prophets were executed and mistreated as well.
Advice to Gutierrez-Krueger,learn how to write; but that presumes that you would have learned how to think more deeply.

Lazarus, Amigo de Dios: Homilía del (26th) Vigésimo Sexto Domingo en Tiempo Ordinario por Diacono Tomas Baca

          Me gustaría convencerte de que cuando los evangelios hablan de ricos y pobres; Cuando Jesús habla de ricos y pobres, no siempre habla de riqueza o pobreza en el sentido material.           La espiritualidad de Jesús es más profunda que eso. La opresión de los pobres por parte de los ricos es algo obvio. Sabemos cuándo está sucediendo. Podemos ver qué sucede en nuestra experiencia de vida y, por supuesto, si bien es tentador enojarse y sugerir soluciones políticas, perdemos el punto de nuestro deber personal de cuidar, amar personalmente a quien se cruza en nuestro camino y es golpeado.           Pero tenga en cuenta que incluso en el sentido personal, hay momentos en que la persona oprimida está "auto oprimida" y no está oprimida por algún movimiento político, por el gobierno o por la economía local.          ...

The Richness of Grace-filled Poverty

The punch to his face must have hurt. In the darkness of night shortly after hitchhiking from Arizona, a spirit of darkness came upon him. Violent knuckles cracking against flesh is an inimitable sound words cannot describe. It is a violent thud-sound as a soul violates another soul out of greed against someone who has only one possession which he guards with his life. At first, I had not noticed the purple around his eye as his skin color was burnt like ebony or palo fierro , darkened woods from the hot Sonoran Desert sun. He had an indigenous almost Yaqui character to his face though he said his family came to this country from Zacatecas by way of Matamoros. The eye was swollen and in the light I could see the injury was not as subtle. But his body swelled not as something visible but rather with an odor, an unmistakable perfume the poor often use to cover up the dense odor of pain, alienation and rejection in their lives. Norberto, a dark skinned Mexican American, a cit...

The Ethics of the Unlocked Door

The door was not locked. It was closed. A housekeeper  babysitting  a 2 year old looked up suddenly as she felt a cold breeze. Someone unexpected had come through the back door.  Someone  had walked through the unlocked backyard fence gate and entered the unlocked back door of the house.  The man  stood there  well-dressed  but confused  and disoriented , eyes dancing to and fro . And then things changed in an instant. The man’s color changed from pale to  flush  red. His pupils enlarged and he started demanding the housekeeper and child get out of his house.  In utter fear at the surprise guest, t he housekeeper grabbed the little one; grabbed a coat and backed out through the garage entrance. She immediately went to the  neighbor’s  home where she frantically grasped at her cell phone to call 911.  It turns out the man had walked away from a rest home. He was a dementia patient. Somehow in his mind the ...
