If you believe what you like on what the church teaches and reject what you don't like it is not Church you believe in, but yourself.

Why vote for Mr. Trump?
In a speech last week, Hillary Clinton said.

“Far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth. All the laws we’ve passed don’t count for much if they’re not enforced,” Clinton said, using the euphemism for abortion.

“Rights have to exist in practice — not just on paper,” Clinton argued. “Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed,"

What was surprising was her comment on the need to change religious beliefs on abortion,In others words, Hillary has a problem with the Church’s teachings on abortionthey must be changed.

Never before have I seen a presidential candidate be this bold about directly confronting the Church’s teachings on abortion. It’s time for Hillary to take the next step and tell us exactly what she plans to do about delivering on her pledge. Not only would practicing Catholics like to know, so would Evangelicals, Orthodox Jews, Muslims, and all those who value life from conception to natural death

Father George Rutler the pastor of St. Michael’s church in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City“The defence of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered unable to cause harm. For this reason, those who legitimately hold authority also have the right to use arms to repel aggressors against the civil community entrusted to their responsibility.”

In previous centuries, Fr. Rutler, says, this would not have been controversial.

1601, Saint Lawrence of Brindisi did the same in defense of Hungary. As Franciscans, they carried no sword and charged on horseback into battle carrying a crucifix. They inspired the shrewd generals and soldiers, whom they had assembled through artful diplomacy, with their brave innocence.

“This is not obscure trivia: Were it not for Charles Martel at Tours in 732 and Jan Sobieskiat the gates of Vienna in 1683 — and most certainly had Pope Saint Pius V not enlistedAndrea Doria and Don Juan at Lepanto in 1571 — we would not be here now. No Western nations as we know them — no universities, no modern science, no human rights — would exist.”

The tragedy of our times, Fr. Rutler argues, is that the West has grown complacent, and in doing so has lost touch with its Christian roots.

Sergey Glazyev is an advisor to Russia’s President Vladmir Putin. This is what he wrote in the Russian paper Zawtra. Quote: “All my attempts on the Internet to explain that we need to transit to a conservative synthesis based on traditional values, involving religious confessions in the creation of an ideological base, were rejected by our European partners, although they have both social-Christian and Christian-democratic traditions. They don’t want to return to indigenous values, caring more about same-sex marriage and other Satanic ideas. And that is why ultimately, Europe is doomed.

Saint Ignatius of Antioch on the road to martyrdom saw the discord of heresy as an evil that the Church had to combat actively: “Be not seduced by strange doctrines, nor by antiquated fables,” he wrote.“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes."
