text: That last is over-the-top, but there is justification for the like in some remarks of Pope Francis that were not included in the commentary online by NCR.
         In essence he said it is is better to be an atheist than a hypocritical Catholic. A rich Catholic caring nothing for the poor, compared with a humanistic atheist in good conscience serving with DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS for example, serve to make the point.  
        The abortion issue is an excuse for self-righteous political maneuvers. Trump promises Gorsuch will repeal ROE vs.Wade. He cannot without a consensus and their is no indication that he will try to get one. Bernard Law was an active supporter of the pro-life movement. Let me repeat this again: Law was an avid supporter of the pro-life movement. 
       I am pro-life. I also have a conscience that is outraged at the duplicity and insipidity and deceit of many contemporary Catholics. Pro-life is a term I refuse to let the demented co-opt for their personal use.
