TUCSON, Ariz., June 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- On the eve of the U.S. Bishops' Conference in Los Angeles (June 15 - 17), more and more Catholics are asking, is Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas (Tucson, Ariz.) assisting pro-abortion candidates in their campaigns for public office? "The Bishop's deafening silence vis-a-vis pro- choice politicians campaigning in locales under his canonical oversight is fueling this developing scandal," says Kelly Copeland, director of the Holy Family Society of Tucson. "Does the Bishop's tacit consent, and permission given to pro-choice politicians to speak, constitute support for abortion rights and politicians supporting them? Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, well-known for her aggressive pro- choice activism, generated large protests among the faithful when she cam...

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- American Life League has published an ad in today's Washington Times that urges all Catholic bishops to enforce canon law and rebuke those individuals who publicly support the heinous act of abortion. "Surgical abortion in the United States has claimed more than 46 million victims to date.

The filing of a heresy charge against Sen. John Kerry based on his long-standing and obstinate support of abortion ("Kerry cited in Catholic heresy case," Nation, Thursday), has provided Archbishop Sean O'Malley with an opportunity to revise his archdiocese's policy to comport with canon law and show that neither Mr. Kerry's political status nor his wife's vast wealth put them above canon law. The catechism of the Catholic Church defines heresy as "the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith." That surely includes the truth that abortion must be opposed with maximum determination. As Pope John Paul II explained in his 1988 Apostolic Exhortation: "Above all, the common outcry, which is justly made on behalf of human rights - for...
