Fr. Z, at his blog WDTPRS, calls his readers’ attention to a great column by Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, RI. To summarize, the good bishop points out that Pres. Obama’s speech after the shootings in Tucson was moving, but inconsistent with the President’s own policies. Obama rightly laments the death of an innocent child, and yet promotes abortion, which kills millions of innocent children… But, read the article. Bishop Tobin says it better and more eloquently than I can.
We need to pray that President Obama may come to recognize his misjudgment regarding abortion and change his policies to defend every life, from conception until natural death.

About Fr Matthew Green
Currently parochial vicar at Holy Family Parish, on Cape Ann (serving the churches of St. Ann, St. Joachim, and St. Anthony). I moved to the area in early August '11, and am very happy to be in such a welcoming community and beautiful location!
One of my hobbies is photography. You can see my photos
on Flickr and buy prints of some of them
on Fine Art America.
I am a daily contributor to
GoodMorningGloucester (GMG for short), a blog by and about the community of Gloucester specifically and Cape Ann in general. The content is diverse, ranging from the beautiful and sublime to the earthy and occasionally offensive. I hope my contributions are of the former kind, not the latter. So, while I cannot endorse all the content that is posted there, I am grateful to Joey (the founder and admin of the blog) for giving me space to make my contribution.
I also have my own blog,
Perpetual Learner, which mostly includes my homilies and some re-posts from GMG, but also sometimes has other content, such as my personal reflections, videos I like, etc.
200 years ago people thought that Black people were not human. Hopefully in 200 years people will realise that just because a child is not born yet does not mean they are not human. As a parent myself we saw and loved our children since they were conceived. We even named them at 3 months as soon as we could see the scans.
