CATHOLIC UNIV ANTI-GOD TO INVITE ABORTION PROP GIULIANI TO SPEAK

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

A Christian cannot support killing womb babies. That means that a Christian Catholic cannot support killing womb babies.

The one excludes the other. They cannot live side by side. If there is an attempt at that, then the individual commits sacrilege. Then that person engages in blasphemy by endorsing murder of the first order.

Some call it "abortion."

The truth is that "abortion" is murdering a human being inside a female’s body. So call it murder or killing or slicing through or throwing away or whatever horrific term you would choose to describe wiping out of existence a mortal made in the image of God.

Therefore, when former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, a womb baby killer enthusiast, has been asked to speak at an alleged Christian campus, the campus leadership has gone astray spiritually — grossly so. There is no other way to reason it.

Some moral situations are black and white, just simply right and wrong. There is no middle ground. When it comes to killing an infant in a mother’s body, there is no killing half an infant. It’s killing an infant — an entire infant. There in other words is no practical middle ground and therefore there is no theological nor philosophical middle ground.

Christian morality is given us in the divine revelation. That Holy Scriptures stipulate that killing an infant is an abhorrent sin and that that unrepentant sin will lead to eternal damnation. Those who support that sin are just as guilty as those who commit that sin.

Giuliani may profess to be a Roman Catholic but he is not a Roman Catholic. He is a renegade "Catholic." He is like unto John F. Kerry and Edward Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi. These mortals are saying to the world that they are "Catholic." They have gone through the regime of becoming church members, but they are not Catholic any more than a womb baby killing Episcopalian is a Christian.

Furthermore, when Catholics stray from the biblical mandate, it is imperative that Catholic spiritual leadership call them to task, call them to repent and confess their sins, call them to return to the biblical call to holiness.

That is exactly the case of Giuliani versus Keeler, that is, Roman Catholic Cardinal William Keeler. Giuliani has been invited to speak at Loyola College in Maryland. That should have never happened. The academicians in the administration offices know better than to allow that.

Nevertheless, sometimes academicians and colleagues get swelled heads over their degrees and standing within the white collar community of lecturing and such. Hubris does not count however when it comes to defining Christian morality, Christian theology, Christian applied ethics. God has spoken; that is the alpha and omega of the moral matter.

Nevertheless, Loyola proceeded to spread the red carpet for the former Mayor, all the while being cheered on by certain voices within the student body. When the Cardinal got wind of the misbehaving, he informed the powers-that-be on campus that he would not be attending the Jesuit university commencement.

Moreover, Loyola took a sinful step further by stating that they are going to confer a doctorate upon Giuliani. Now of course the administration knew exactly what that move was doing to the Catholic position on killing womb babies.

Nevertheless, brace in place, the academicians proceeded with their own baptizing of legitimacy to the guest speaker’s presence.

Thank God the Cardinal made his moral convictions known in simple terms. Thank God that spiritual leadership kept its moral backbone in straight position. Thank God that pro-life enthusiasts are backing the Cardinal and his witness by promising to be there on campus if the guest speaker arrives. The pro-lifers promise the press that there will indeed be a "circus" if Giuliani shows his face.

The whole Christian testimony is a war against evil. It’s not just being nice and courteous and mannerly and pleasant. It’s battling against the wrong. The genuine of faith know that and live that. The cowards weasel out of the witness and so recant their convictions for a more comfortable place.

Concerning Giuliani and Keeler and the university heads, the matter has come to the media, which indeed it should. The sheep now will separate from the goats.

Judgment occurs not only at death and the close of Earth’s stay but every moment of every day. Therefore, on with the battle waging fierce for righteousness. There can be no other choice when a likeable, witty, personable Giuliani still throws his weight on the side of killing womb babies. The latter posture makes him unqualified to be called "Christian," "Catholic," or "moral."

Therefore, he should never set foot upon any alleged Christian platform — Protestant or Catholic.

And with that, Christians could never even entertain the thought of Giuliani being the Republican candidate for the United States President in 2008. Never.
