Texas Bishop Decries ‘Evil Rhetoric’ of Pro-Abortion Catholic PoliticiansThomas D. Williams, Ph.D. 11 May 2022
Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, has called on all Catholics to “denounce” the evil rhetoric of Catholic politicians campaigning in favor of abortion.
“The evil rhetoric by so-called Catholic politicians should be denounced by every bishop, priest, deacon & every faithful Catholic,” Bishop Strickland wrote on social media Tuesday. “Their disregard for the rights of unborn children & their support for abortion at any stage of pregnancy is a blight on our nation & a travesty.”
The bishop was referring to efforts by high-ranking Catholic politicians to hasten codification of the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion nationwide, following the leak of a draft Court opinion that would overturn Roe.
President Joe Biden, for example, responded to the leak by saying he thinks “the codification of Roe makes a lot of sense.”
