Anglican Church looses Christ
(4 posts)Sad news. As if further proof were needed that the Anglican Church (and those in communion with it) have lost Christ after the "gay bishop fiasco" here in the states, yesterday a British paper reported that the killing of severely diabled babies at birth was acceptable arguing that "'strong proportionate reasons' for 'overriding the presupposition that life should be maintained.'"
To whom do they pray?

His Holiness Pope Paul VI alluded to such results from the contraceptive (read: not wanting children) mentality in Humanae Vitae. In this single and singular document, he was as prophetic as any Pope has ever been.
