STRONG WORDS FROM THE FORMER BISHOP OF RALEIGH AND NOW THE BISHOP OF ARLINGTON


Thank God, the governor of Virginia isn't Catholic. I pray that the Democrats undergo a pastoral conversion that would help them to link racism as an assault on the dignity of the human person created in the image and likeness of God to the evil of abortion as an assault of the human person that always leads to the killing and/or murder of a child. I pray the Democrats would have asked Governor Northam to resign his office just on what he said about his endorsement of infanticide. I pray they will change course and ask Gov. Cuomo to resign and every person in New York who voted for the bill allowing infanticide there. DEMOCRATS STOP YOUR HYPOCRISY AND CHERRY-PICKING ABOUT WHAT CONSTITUTES ASSAULTS ON THE DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON.


Bishop Michael F. Burbidge responds to photos from Governor Northam’s yearbook


In recent days, the Commonwealth of Virginia has witnessed public officials, including our Governor, make callous statements ignoring the dignity of unborn children and jeopardizing the safety and protection of those even in the process of being born. Now, with the extremely disturbing photos in Governor Northam’s medical school yearbook, we see another offense against the dignity of human life – the sin of racism.

In the midst of some petitioning for the resignation of Governor Northam, the Catholic Church renews its firm call for the protection of all human life and the respect for the dignity of each and every person. We ask the Governor to do what is best to restore the trust and confidence of the people in our leaders.

With people of good will and dependent upon the Lord’s mercy and love, I pray for the day when all elected officials will defend the life and dignity of God’s people, including the unborn, and people of every race, creed, sex, social condition, and ethnic background.

Of course, the gov will deny it as he did earlier today. Yet the Yearbook is pretty clear:

But then there is the video where he refuses to shake hands with his Black opponent:

That looks pretty deliberate to me.

It is nice to see a Dem get the "Justice Kavanaugh Treatment." Senator Lindsey Graham said it the best during those hearings: a party that wants power this badly should never acquire power. Amen

Surprisingly, Ralph Northam is Baptist. You would not expect a Baptist to be so much in the pro-abortion camp, but unfortunately that is the Democratic party of today!
