Public Relations

And the Archdiocese

The Archdiocese of Washington, DC has ever since I started paying attention to it done a ridiculously bad job at explaining the rationale of their positions, some of which they pay half a fortune to lawyers to advocate for. For example, no one can convince me that the downfall of civilization will result if gay couples get to call themselves married and get the same tax breaks as heterosexuals. No one has given me an intelligent reason why half a fortune was fought in fighting against the DC Human Rights Act and US Constitution. Whenever Santorum starts rattling on about comparable bestiality, incest or polygamy down the slippy slope I want to paint a large round red nose on him on the TV because it sounds just clownlike ridiculously non-analogous to any thinking person.
Then there is the contraception issue- which the Pope actually back peddled on if you recall. Contraception is fine to avoid AIDS- it is a lesser harm than the risk to over promiscuitizing society I suppose, or something like that. I am sure some Dominican can explain it to you without your eyes rolling like mine do whenever I hear someone say the root of all evil is a rubber. The catholic standard notes all the clerics that are fighting Obama on the HHS and deem it all a Free Exercise of Religious expression thing. Do they realize that the sterilizations they are talking about are voluntary-when there is a forced sterilization issue it ends up typically in a courtroom and it gets litigated such as we just saw with a mentally deficient person whose guardians battled not to have her sterilized. Sometimes you see this in cases where a severely mentally disabled person is subject to forced sterilization by their guardians. There is no secret government program out there to sterilize masses of Americans and if there was, show us the evidence before making whackadoodle judgments about why women who are medically determined to need hysterectomies can't have them paid for by the government health plans.
Santorum if you listen closely first was for States outlawing contraception until he was against States outlawing it and now only says he meant to say they could if they wanted to- which would only come up if he wanted them to.
This weekend we are getting all the pro Life stuff we care to ingest. This is a topic I fear above the head of the Archdiocese PR team to fully educate people about. It is a really serious topic and the educational efforts are not anything like what should be going on at the level of debate that should be taking place. For example, Planned Parenthood is an industry, a huge national corporation with corporate offices in huge office buildings crunching budgetary numbers on how many women they convinced that they needed to dispose of their offspring in polite terms. It is a quiet holocaust, a genocide in America, and when the impact personally and on the country as a whole is really fully appreciated, people are going to be wailing and crying bloody murder- because that is what it is. The massive popular deception going on is something Goering would like to aspire to.
Fifty Million little tiny people dead. Fifty Million people. That's a lot of neighbors you didn't do like you want to be done to.

The nation is going to have to get a grip. It's above the head of the Archdiocese PR efforts. There is a Jesuit Priest who taught at Georgetown and has written several books on the subject which are a good place to start- Robert Spitzer , SJ, PhD. Ten Universal Principles; A Brief Philosophy of the Life Issues is his latest. It should be mandatory reading for everyone in the White House.
