• "The last several decades have been frustrating for traditional-minded pro-life Catholics. Whenever legislators and legislation threatened the moral law, the American bishops were inclined to sponsor various prayer initiatives. Prayer became like a government program as bishops disguised their dereliction of duty in disciplining pro-abortion Catholic politicians by calling for more public devotion and more dialogue.... A courageous celibate provides doctrinal air cover for Catholic troops on the ground. Clergy who fail to use their celibacy for the fearless proclamation of the Gospel become selfish comfortable bachelors” (Fr. Jerry Pokorsky, 5/23/22).

• "There is one important difference between Roe and Obergefell ....Roe galvanized the pro-life community and created a vibrant, authentically grassroots nationwide movement. After Obergefell, proponents of marriage threw up their hands and said, 'Oh, well, we tried' and moved on to other issues. The right-to-life movement never gave up. We are fighting transgenderism in 2022 precisely because we gave up on marriage in 2015" (National Catholic Register, 5/18/22).
