Archbishop Burke's Brigade Will Defend Unborn Children From Catholic Politicians
What would you think of an association of Catholic clergy whose goal is to support all Bishops who
- ban Communion to Catholic politicians and voters who publicly and obstinately promote or support abortion
- support legislation to protect and defend sanctity of human life (from conception to natural death),
- support legislation to protect and defend traditional marriage (between a man & a woman), and the family (mother & father who are also husband & wife, with their children).
