Boot camp against abortion in the works (Pavone)

AMARILLO, Texas – The Roman Catholic Church plans to establish its first religious society devoted exclusively to fighting euthanasia and abortion, church leaders said this week.
The male-only Missionaries of the Gospel of Life – founded by the Rev. Frank Pavone, an outspoken opponent of abortion rights – will be housed in a vacant Catholic high school and dormitory on the grounds of the Diocese of Amarillo.

The order will have a political bent, and will be active, not contemplative, Pavone said.

Priests will be trained to conduct voter registration drives and lobby lawmakers to restrict abortion rights. They also will learn to lead demonstrations outside offices where abortions and family-planning services are provided.

“There is a difference between knowing the teachings and knowing how to effectively advance a movement,” Pavone said.

1. God deliver me from ........
......... these professional virgins.

All they need is to get laid once, and everything they're spewing would change dramatically.

And little boys don't count.

7. Yep
Shows what they know about abortion. Oy. I don't need a man telling me anything about my body. If they ever came to me I'd tell them to fuck off and go get laid.

8. Catholic Priests are as qualified to discuss abortion
As they are to discuss marriage and child rearing.

5. Well as a Catholic layperson I think they will have a hard time
getting recruits. The Church can't get enough men to apply for the priesthood now as it is. Churches and parishes are going without priests or often do not have enough to serve a large congregation.

Celibacy and a solitary life just isn't cutting it with most men today.

6. An all-male anti-abortion missionary force

The funniest/saddest part is that they're too clueless to appreciate the irony.

9. all celibate all-male anti-abortion missionary force yet
they can't get pregnant. They shouldn't even be getting anyone else pregnant if they're taking their vows seriously.

It's maddening.
