YOUR CATHOLIC VOICE PRESIDENT RAY FLYNN CALLS POLITICIANS’ LETTER TO BISHOPS DISRESPECTFUL AND ARROGANT |
|
| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 05/21/2004 |
BILL MAY (415) 515-9329 |
BOSTON, MA (5-21-04) - Appearing on Fox News Channel's "Special Report with Brit Hume" today, Raymond A. Flynn, President Your Catholic Voice, said it was disrespectful for Democratic pro-abortion politicians to criticize Catholic Church leaders who have the courage to speak out on important moral issues in the political arena. Forty-eight Catholic Democratic members of Congress signed a letter to Cardinal McCarrick complaining that statements or letters by some bishops regarding Church teaching on proper respect for the Eucharist are counterproductive and "miring the Church in partisan politics." Some bishops have stated that politicians who publicly and persistently advocate and support policies that intentionally destroy human life must be denied communion. Flynn, a pro-life Democrat said of his pro-abortion fellow party members, "They want to be Catholic on election day and get the Catholic vote, but when they get to Washington or the state house, they consistently vote with every well financed radical group that is working against the most fundamental of all human rights." Ambassador Flynn is the national president of Your Catholic Voice, former U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican from 1993 to 1997 and former mayor of Boston. About Your Catholic Voice |
