Fernando Umberto Garcia de Nicaragua, Prefectus Minimus: The Jacksonian Institute

Only when the Church is truly moribund could this be a "difficult decision."

Sawyer

Worth watching.

Carl E. Olson

Fernando: The unremitting surliness is getting very old and tiresome. We recognize that we can never live up to your version of Catholicism. Duly noted.

BillyHW

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo to Bishop Olmsted!

Fernando Umberto Garcia de Nicaragua, Prefectus Minimus: The Jacksonian Institute

I could have put it better, true. Apologies. I should have just said that if this was a difficult decision, the Church is in even worse shape than I thought.

Dan Deeny

Very interesting.
I thought Bishop Olmstead could have answered the question about "religious ethics trumping medical ethics" by saying "No, they work together. Perhaps like parent and child, husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, etc.." The question about the possibility of both mother and child dying was important. Bishop Olmstead could have explained more clearly and in greater depth. He might have finished by saying that sometimes it is difficult to be a woman and be a Catholic.
Perhaps also, Bishop Olmstead could have mentioned Mary's pregnancy with Jesus.
It is very good that he also handled the other problems at these hospitals.

Thank you Lord for providing strong leaders for your Church. May you likewise strengthen the others in authority or replace them with leaders who are not afraid to do Your Will in guiding Your Church.

Congratulations to Bishop Olmstead for taking this action. I pray that our other Shepherds will do the same, particularly in Catholic education...

Deacon Harold

Strong and courageous shepherds like Bishop Olmstead are EXACTLY what the Church of our time needs. Thank you, Your Excellency!

Manuel G. Daugherty Razetto

The bishop from Phoenix has by now given us, three times, proof of his character and conviction when it comes to substance over form, decrees over leniency, truth over falsehood.

Vast criticism from secularists, seen in papers everywhere, is the obvious result of a deffensive reaction in the presence of a bishop who had the temerity of proceeding with action against abortion. No doubt bishop Olmsted will continue to surprise, disturb and castigate the enemies of our Church. May God bless him.
