Franciscans are very involved in our area of the diocese and have proven to be wonderful men: inclusive, justice-oriented. Unfortunately actions like the USCCB is on the verge of taking buries a lot of the good done.

The priests who serve my church rarely if ever mention abortion. An AA one did weeks ago, but followed up by saying, "How can you call yourself pro-life if you are not concerned about the living?" Meaning those who don't happen to occupy a womb at the moment.
