It is synonymous with those who have betrayed our cause rather than become its champions. For decades, you have exemplified the critical problem we have had - clergy who are outright opposed to the prolife movement in the United States. What would you say to someone who lived directly across the street from a concentration camp/killing center in Germany while thousands, if not millions, of innocent Jewish and other people were slaughtered every year and who did nothing to stop this? What would you say to this person who knew full well what was taking place in this camp, but who went calmly about his business - eating fine meals, sleeping peacefully at night, even celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (yes, I've pegged myself as an orthodox Catholic by using this terminology) and not once even crossed the street to raise his voice in prayer or offer one single Ave in reparation for the slaughter, or to help guide or protect the souls caught up in the diabolical activity? What would you say to this person who did nothing, knowing that this person's whole vocation was to do the opposite of what he did? <BR/><BR/>Monsignor Byrne, you were the Pastor of Epiphany Parish for at least a decade, and maybe more. One of the worst killing centers in the city, perhaps in the entire country, was situated only a few hundred feet from where you lay your head every night. You did NOTHING. You NEVER spoke out against this killing center or the diabolical activities practiced there. And you will have to answer for this. You did not place yourself between the killers and one innocent soul being led to the slaughter. Not one. We in the pro-life movement prayed for years that you would have a change of heart. Our prayers went unanswered. You are also well known among your brother priests, who - judging from their comments to me - are clearly well aware of who you are and what you stand for, and whose side you are on in this fierce and deadly war. And, be assured, you are NOT on our side. You know this as well as I do. Let's end the hypocrisy on top of everything else. <BR/><BR/>I see that you are no less than 88 years of age. This is a sign that you have been granted some singular graces - you must have done some good things for God, as well. Our Lord has granted you a long life in the hope that you will use this extra time to finally repent. I beg you not to let Him down. We are in the final days of Lent. Today is Good Friday. I personally still have hope that you may be saved, but you really need to stop defending the indefensible, and placing yourself at odds with the Holy See. I know that this is difficult for you since you harbor so much animosity towards the Holy Father, and against this Pope in particular. From what I further understand, you have been deeply involved in Democratic politics for many years. Those in the know have told me that you have long placed the Democratic Party before your responsibilities as a priest and before the welfare of the Catholic Church, the Mystical Body of Christ. This might explain your behavior over the years, but it certainly does not excuse it.<BR/><BR/>I am no spring chicken, and I have found in life that priests who are fanatically opposed to the pro-life movement in the Church, and who are vociferous opponents of the Holy See, usually are harboring something else in their minds and hearts that they are trying to justify. Only you can answer this one - it is between you and God. Please know that as we end this Holy Triduum, you will be especially in my prayers. Forgive my bluntness in this message, but time is of the essence for you, Monsignor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
