Beyond Lukewarm 

   “I know all about you; how you are neither cold nor hot.  I wish you were one or the other, but since you are neither, but only lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth.” (Rev 3: 15 – 16) 

   For years I’ve heard self-proclaimed Catholics say that they are pro-abortion.  There are even some groups who claim to be Catholics for pro-choice.  There can be no truth to their statement.  The murder of innocent babies in the womb and Catholicism is totally incompatible.  In fact, by supporting abortion, they have effectively excommunicated themselves.

   I can’t help but wonder how these so-called pro-abortion Catholics are dealing with the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade and send the issue back to the states.  Will they now fight within the states to continue to support this atrocity, or will they perhaps begin to realize the horror of what they are supporting.  I fear it will be the former.

   The arrogance of some Catholics and other religious who feel that they have the right to decide what is good and what is not goes beyond being lukewarm.  It is the same mistake made in the Garden of Eden, a rejection of  God who alone defines right from wrong.

   The truths of God are not negotiable; they do not change because society finds them inconvenient.  They have always been true, and they will remain true for all eternity.  We can either accept them or reject them, but we can’t change them.
