Cardinal O'Malley is the Capuchin Franciscan who was sent to Boston to clean up the horrible sex abuse mess. he has done a good job, going into a terrible situation.
But wouldn't it have been nice if he said something like this before the election? Perhaps he did - we don't know.
Cardinal O’Malley laments president-elect’s ‘deplorable’ abortion record
Describing his past involvement with the civil rights movement, Cardinal O'Malley likened the election of an African American to the Berlin Wall falling. "I mean, for my generation, I suppose young people today can’t appreciate that, but to me it is something very big,” he told Paulson.
“My joy, however, is tempered by the knowledge that this man has a deplorable record when it comes to pro-life issues and is possibly in the pocket of Planned Parenthood,” the cardinal continued, noting the irony that the organization’s origins were racist and claiming its aims were to “eliminate the blacks.”
Saying he will try to work with the president-elect, Cardinal O’Malley said Obama should realize his election was not a mandate to “rush ahead with a pro-abortion platform.” He argued that the passage of marriage referenda in Florida and California showed that people who were socially conservative voted for Obama for other reasons.
I thought that since Obama had so much money to spend on getting his message out that Planned Parenthood was one of his money cows. I pray that he will be converted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and will dump planned parenthood.
