Your tweets won't save you!
There seems to be a small flicker of light, a tiny discernible pulse, with a small number of bishops on the question of abortion. On a small number of social media accounts, a scattering of them is posting little quips about the sanctity of life in the womb, etc.
Take, for example, Lansing, Michigan bishop Earl Boyea, who correctly notes that if you follow the science, you will conclude that the fetus is a human being, etc. However (because there's always a "however" with this lot), an occasional pro-life tweet does not a good bishop make. In fact, not even close.
A little background on Boyea and abortion is in order here. Back in 2009, he was invited to speak at a mid-Michigan pro-life conference. He probably would have declined had he known that Church Militant was also scheduled to speak. He went first. When his uninspiring presentation was done and the floor was opened for questions, his real approach came out.
He was asked why he and the other bishops don't do something about these phony Catholic, child-killing politicians who are being allowed to receive Holy Communion and present themselves as Catholics in good standing. His response was predictably pathetic. He angrily told the questioner, "It's not our responsibility to get these guys out of office, it's yours. You, the laity, should vote them out."
