Assault
on the Church
The
assault on the Roman Catholic Church
is well underway, and getting more intense.
This time it is a frontal attack by
Mexico's Socialists. Those pushing for
the culture of death are incensed at
the Catholic Church, since it is the
only powerful institution standing in
the way of their all-out assault on
life.

Church. We are committed to defend her

Our mission is to renew the family and

for the enemy's all-out offensive.

Mexican
Socialists Threaten Church for
Opposing Abortion, Homosexual
“Marriage," Euthanasia
MEXICO
CITY, January 14, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com)
- The leadership of Mexico's
socialist Social Democratic
Party (PSD) has issued a demand
to Mexico City's Cardinal Archbishop
Norberto Rivera that he and
the Church stop opposing its
initiatives to legalize abortion,
homosexual "marriage"
and euthanasia, or face legal
action.
The
PSD is angered by the Cardinal's
consistent reiteration of the
Catholic Church's teachings
on the sanctity of human life,
sexual morality, and family
values.
"It's
an attack against our ideology,
because they describe us as
enemies of the family, deprecate
legislation that depenalizes
abortion, ignore the existence
of same-sex couples, the practice
of euthanasia, and they make
fun of transsexuality,"
said the PSD's national president,
Jorge Carlos Diaz, in a press
conference.
"We
are talking about a campaign
that is going to be prolonged,
because this is delicate and
we will appear before the electoral
agencies, because we will be
confirming that there is a negative
campaign against us, that we
support ideas that differ from
those of the Church," he
added.
Diaz
says that if the Church does
not agree to cease denouncing
his party's legislative initiatives,
"we will report it to the
Federal Electoral Institute
(IFE) for proselytizing."
Mexico's
Constitution prohibits the clergy
from participating in politics,
although it does not prohibit
Church officials from teaching
moral values. Although they
were once applied with more
severity, the Constitution's
anti-clerical provisions are
no longer seen as prohibiting
the clergy from making statements
analyzing the moral implications
of legislation.
Mexico's
prohibitions against participation
in politics by the clergy were
used to intimidate Cardinal
Rivera in 2007, during the campaign
to legalize abortion in Mexico
City. After being threatened
with an investigation into statements
by the Cardinal and his priests
opposing the measure, Rivera
backed down from his threat
to excommunicate city councilmen
who voted for it.

to me life is Christ, and death
is gain." (Phil 1:21)
