My Ongoing Search for God's Will.

10/27/08 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Michael D. Diebold, Director of Communications, Catholic Diocese of Lansing
The Most Reverend Earl Boyea, Bishop of Lansing, today issued the following statement in response to recent comments of Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm:
In a Sunday address in Grand Rapids, Governor Jennifer Granholm incredibly said of Proposal 2 "As a Catholic, I can say to be pro-cure is to be pro-life." Of course, Catholics and all other responsible citizens will continue to seek cures for disease and injury. But to imply that Proposal 2 is a valid expression of Catholic principles is shocking. Nothing could be further from the truth. Proposal 2, which goes before Michigan voters in a week, would give an unrestricted license to those who perform destructive experiments on human embryos. While the Catholic Church strongly supports legitimate forms of stem cell research and all other proper forms of scientific inquiry, the Church also teaches that is it is always immoral to destroy a human embryo. For that reason, the Catholic Bishops of Michigan have taken a strong position in opposition to this well-funded assault on human life. Saint Paul reminds us that we must preach the Truth in season and out of season. The Truth will never go unspoken. To be in favor of Proposal 2 is not to be pro-life. A well-formed Catholic conscience would never lead a person to support Proposal 2 "as a Catholic."

I have a few things to say about this.
1st Here's to you Bishop Boyea for stating the truth!
2nd It bugs me so bad that A she says "as a Catholic" because She is NOT a Catholic no matter what she calls herself and she gives that rest of us Catholics a bad name when we have to be an example to the rest of the world!
B. She uses the term "pro-cure" There has not been one single cure found from embryonic stem cell research and there have been over 70 cures found from adult stem cell research. One last thing... HOW CAN THAT BE PRO LIFE? HOW CAN YOU CALL DESTROYING A HUMAN LIFE PRO LIFE?
Ok, I'm done with this rant, please vote no on 2.
