Protesting Hillary Clinton
— Posted by John (May 7, 2007 at 3:50 pm)
Fifty pro-lifers came out today to join our protest of pro-abortion Senator Hillary Clinton’s appearance at a fundraiser in downtown Chicago benefiting Mercy Home for Boys and Girls, a Catholic charity.
The Pro-Life Action League’s home page has a full report on the picket.

Dear pro-life friends,
This is a terribly disappointing piece of news. In my small way, I have donated to Mercy Home for a number of years but now I am rethinking if I will do so in the future. This is the problem with many of our clergy who have things happen “without their approval”.
A great harm is done and will not be undone no matter what explanation or retraction is given. There is so much bureaucracy, too many committees without proper accountability in many of our Catholic institutions. It is very sad that we are our own enemies in many ways. We need very courageous shepherds like Archbishop Burke, Fr. Deutsch at Holy Cross in Batavia, Fr. Thomas Milota at Sacred Heart in Lombard.
I am writing to Fr. Donahue to express my great disappointment and I hope that you will do the same.
Rev. Scott Donahue

SILENCE IS NO LONGER AN OPTION.

Here’s another…
——
I JUST FINISHED CALLING MERCY HOME 312-738-5780. (Don’t call 312-738-7580 it is not in service any longer).
A lady answered and said Fr. Donahue was not available. So I told her who I was and the purpose of my call . I respectfully expressed my great disappointment that Hillary was invited to speak not only in a Catholic Institution but a Catholic Institution for children.
She happily reported all Hillary did was “congratulate the children and the children were very happy”. This lady claimed that there was nothing political in Clinton’s speech. I tried to explain that Mercy Home is giving mixed signals inviting a pro-choice, pro-gay , pro-partial birth abortion speaker in a Catholic Institution just “to make the children happy”.
There are many faithful true Catholic speakers who could have delivered the same message! She also said that Clinton has done wonderful things for children!!! (You figure that out!). When I asked her if Clinton had done anything wonderful for Mercy Home, she said “no but other institutions”!??? I asked for her name and if what she told me this also her opinion, she thanked me and hang up.
I URGE ALL OF YOU TO PLEASE CALL MERCY HOME AND WITH GOD’S GRACE, FR. DONAHUE WILL REALIZE THAT THIS IS NO SMALL MATTER . HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO DEFEND YOUR FAITH AND BE COUNTED.
Please do it now and I pray that you all will have the courage to defend our Faith.

Please post your responses to Mercy Home here after you call or email them!
