Two generations ago, no one would have believed that votes could be solicited with promises of continued free abortifacients & birth control! Shame on ALL of US that ANY Catholic (& there will be many) would fall for this Faustian bargain! Yet with 44 years (post Humanae Vitae) of near-silence from our pulpits on contraceptives, it is hardly a surprise that Catholics would be among those lining up for the free abortifacients and contraceptives!
When preaching this weekend, please do not forget Casti Connubii, which has never been abrogated: "if any confessor or pastor of souls, which may God forbid, lead the faithful entrusted to him into these errors or should at least confirm them by approval or by guilty silence, let him be mindful of the fact that he must render a strict account to God, the Supreme Judge, for the betrayal of his sacred trust, and let him take to himself the words of Christ: 'They are blind and leaders of the blind: and if the blind lead the blind, both fall into the pit'."
