ZENIT - Congolese Prelates Decry "Silent Genocide"
Wow, what a relief to see that some Bishops in the world see that the already living matter too. I know my rant yesterday was bold, but it was thought out, and not a wild raving. I knew what I was saying. This article, as dreadful as the subject is, this is proof that sometimes abortion is the least of your worries. Only in a country as coddled and pampered as the U.S. could abortion take the front seat. It won't matter much in the Congo for a while.
In The United States, especially in the Catholic Church and big time Evangelical Churches, the larger world perspective is lost. We worship in carpeted splendor, sleep in alarm-set safety, depends upon a largely good police force. So of course we have the leisure to worry about things like abortion...the Prelates of the Congo don't have that luxury. There, people sleep in fear of attack, of being hacked to death. Or fear of having their infant daughter raped. In these types of situations our whiny attack is so unimportant that it almost makes me ashamed.
