As head of Victoria’s new prolife organization, Choose Life Victoria, I’ve been disappointed, but not,I guess, surprised, by the underwhelming response from all denominations, their leaders, their clergy and most of their members, to our appeals for support.
I expected more from the Catholic priests, I have to say. I din’t know what to expect from the Evangelical pastors and I have to say they met this expectation.
One youth pastor, hilariously, said he was worried that if he encouraged his flock to join us in the 40 Days Vigil outside the abortion clinic at Helmcken and the Old Island Highway, they might be associated with the Occupy movement!
Pietism is the name for this. Obviously, American evangelicals got over it decades ago. Not so the Canadians.
As for Catholics, well, we’ve got the country we deserve, is all I can say.

We can and should pray that God forgives our people for allowing themselves to be cowed and pushed into being as tolerant to grave evils and afraid to speak out more forcefully as our people seem to be.
Until then you must continue to raise YOUR voice so that others may hear you and see your example. Keep up the good fight my friend.
Nothing cool about being indifferent to LIFE.
