Your Excellency:
As per my 2/26/11 email to Senator Robert Casey of the Scranton Diocese, "When I called your office the other day, it was disturbing to hear your young aide spout the supposed benefits of Planned Parenthood's self-serving promotion of contraceptives. Your dad and Dorothy Day would have been appalled. Please do not let the memory of your late, great dad's noble fight in Casey v. Planned Parenthood become muddled with Casey for Planned Parenthood in our own time. Embracing that great heritage of your dad and Dorothy Day, please defund Planned Parenthood. Also, please co-sponsor and support
- S. 91, Life at Conception Act
- S. 165, Abortion Non-Discrimination Act "
As you know, Senator Casey subsequently voted against the "budget bill that contains the Pence Amendment de-funding the Planned Parenthood abortion business." To also be noted, Senator Casey is NOT a co-sponsor of S. 91, NOR is he a co-sponsor of S. 165.
As per Bishop Samuel Aquila (3/18/11), "The continual reception of Holy Communion by those who so visibly contradict and promote a grave evil, even more than simply dissent, only creates grave scandal, undermines the teaching and governing authority of the Church and can be interpreted by the faithful as indifference to the teaching of Christ and the Church on the part of those who have the responsibility to govern." Exacerbating Senator Casey's situation is the fact that he actually identifies himself as "pro life"!
May we expect to see Canon 915 followed in the Scranton Diocese?
Sincerely,
