From Australia’s Canberra Times
Swine flu and Mexico’s recent earthquake had been the judgment of God for that country’s abortion laws, a visiting US priest told members of Canberra’s St Christopher’s Parish on Tuesday.
Father Wade Menezes, recommended to the parish by the Archbishop of Canberra and Goulburn Mark Coleridge, is conducting a mission for the parish each evening until tonight at St Peter Chanel’s Church, Yarralumla.
Though the exact words used by Father Menezes cannot be quoted, it is reliably understood they had a similar meaning to those by Victoria’s Catch the Fire Ministries’ leader Danny Nalliah, who said Victoria’s devastating February bushfires were the consequences of the state’s abortion laws.
Ugh. When did divine retribution (which by the way JESUS refutes in nearly every Gospel passage about healing) start sneaking back into the lexicon.
It makes me sad that this guy is poisoning the minds of people.
Thoughts?
