MARCH FOR LIFE ON GUAM FACING THE SAME ISSUES THAT IN THE USA

(Posted by Frenchie)

(March for life, new logo)

We have shown the last two weeks, how weak and soft Catholics leaders of the March for life in Washington DC were, as they threw the Covington Catholic Students under the proverbial bus.

We also saw how the Bishop of Covington  during his very late apology to the same students, blamed having been bullied into condemning them by social media activists.

More recently this past weekend we have witnessed the pathetic reactions of the Bishops of New York, facing the evil actions of the governor of their State: Andrew Cuomo.

We have been subjected to the sad spectacle of Cardinal Dolan of New York, making lukewarm arguments to defend their inaction in the face of Catholic politicians bringing scandalous situation to the Church they claim to belong to.

Of course this is not new. Back in 2004, several American Bishops chose to deny Holy Communion to those "Obstinately Persevering in Manifest Grave Sin" Canon 915

Naturally these Bishops came under question by other Bishops regarding the application of Canon 915, in the case of Catholic politicians who publicly after admonition continue to support legislation contrary to the teachings of the Church, namely abortion and other "scientific practices".
Many of the same leaders, who were consciously dropping a lead curtain on their role in hiding, priests and bishops who had committed sexual abuse, took to the bully pulpit to criticize the actions of their peers who drew a line in the sand, concerning the evils, some politicians were willing to support and/or propagate.

It took three years then, for Archbishop Burke to write a well drafted official document based on Canon law, to vindicate the prelates that had argued in favor of Canon 915, and correct the critics raised in the document "Catholic in Political life" adopted on June 18 2004 by the USCCB.

BEING CATHOLIC IS NOT A WALK IN THE PARK

The March for life happens all around the world on and around the 18th of January to mark the calamitous SCOTUS decision of Roe Vs Wade, which legalized the murder of unborn children in the USA.

Since that Historic day, close to 50 millions babies have been murdered by their mother in the USA alone.

This past Friday in Agatna, several hundreds faithful gathered to mark this sad anniversary.

Here on Guam, our new Archbishop, Michael Jude Byrnes started the event with strong words of encouragement and a call for men to face their responsibilities.

Meanwhile in Washington DC, our Capital, large crowds gathered to express their opposition to this Eugenist practice.

As always there were counter demonstrators of all sorts.

The usual suspects if you wish.

Coalitions of women's rights (even though this year, there were competing  groups that did not agree on the objectives and means)

The usual disgusting placards, using foul language, whose words are meant to shock .

The Mosaic of leftist subgroups, going from lesbians for choice, to Native Americans, and all other imaginable minorities in between.

Among them was a small group of black supremacists, who started insulting and berating a group of Catholic high-schoolers who had participated  in the march for life.

To make a long story short, after a long period of harassment by that disgusting group of hate mongers, a small group of Native Americans (here apparently for a demonstration of their own) injected themselves in the fray and became very rowdy and provoking.

While the students remained composed, the drive by media concluded that a group of white catholic boys (there were African Americans among the students, as well) had "harassed" an elderly Omaha leader, and in doing so demonstrated an obvious racial bias. Not ending there, the drive by media continued to feed the ugly lynch mob mentality on twitter and other platforms, against not only these poor kids, but also against the Catholic Church at large.

Unfortunately, this poorly sourced story, was amplified here on Guam by our local media, who decided to give it a local angle, with the fact that the revelations had been brought up by a former resident of Guam living in DC. (as if somehow that would make the accusations more believable)

From KUAM, to the Post, the PDN and several local blogs, the story of the obviously "racist white catholic teens" from Kentucky was amplified and propagated.

This led to a continuation of the lynching social media mob excesses here on our island, with the usual hate mongers of the identity politics advocates using this as a proof of the "toxicity" of the colonial attitude. (No, you are not dreaming)

This was bad, but unfortunately for us Catholic, the story is actually worse.

Let us look into this a little more in depth
