My conservative Lutheran pastor spoke against it in sermons, prayed about it in church, and wrote newsletter articles about it. We had "NO to Prop 3" signs outside our church. Shame on the churches and pastors who stayed silent, thinking this was a "political" issue.

Our Catholic Churches only began speaking about abortion in the metro Detroit area when Prop 3 was put on the ballot. Where have they been for the last 20-30 years?! Too afraid or complacent to say something. Now you have lost a whole generation of young people and their parents because of it. They have themselves to blame when they didn’t teach against it. It was way too little too late and now they will wonder “Why did this pass?” Wake the heck up!

Where were they since 1969, when certain states started legalizing abortion? My soap box issue: When the Church failed to speak about birth control, divorce and re-marriage, cohabitation, all of which are against Catholic teaching, we get what we get. Too little too late. And don't get me started on the "seamless garment" nonsense.

Preach, Karen! Instead we get columns telling us to read that utterly worthless USCCB document "Faithful Citizenship" which speaks out of both sides of its mouth. Drives me absolutely crazy. And then there is the utter failure of the Church's Covid capitulation.

Agreed. The church has failed the faithful.

I ama staunch Catholic. I'm sorry to inform you that the Catholic hierarchy (including not just priests but bishops) are infiltrated with closet homosexuals.

The independent John Jay College investigation revealed that fully 82% of the recorded abuse cases were priests having sex with teenaged boys. That's not pedophilia, it's homosexuality.

Natalie, I thank God that there is at least one pastor speaking out! The ones who don’t want to ‘get involved’ in political issues are sadly mistaken.
