SCANDAL EPIDEMIC AS PRO-ABORTION SPEAKERS HIGHLIGHT CANADIAN CATHOLIC EVENTS
TORONTO, September 19, 2002 (LSN.ca) - The fact that pro-abortion Progressive Conservative leader Joe Clark endorsed legal marriage privileges for homosexuals one day before giving the keynote address at the Red Mass Dinner is par for the course in scandal-ridden Canada. In a similar scandal in 2000, population control zealot David Suzuki appeared in full frontal nudity shielded by a small fig leaf on the cover of a TV guide magazine to promote his show on the penis only weeks before keynoting the Catholic Health Association of Canada (CHAC) conference.
The warnings of pro-life groups and concerned Catholics and the eventual pickets and letters of concern to high ranking clergy seem to have been totally rejected by the much of the Catholic establishment. The Canadian situation has therefore progressed to a bonanza of Catholic speaking opportunities for morally objectionable political celebrities.
Perhaps the most notorious of all has been the Catholic Prime Minister who was, for instance, invited to address students at a Barrie Catholic High School. The Prime Minister has declared himself to be pro-abortion and has supported aggressive bulldozing of many traditional moral principles in Canada and throughout the world via the UN and Canada's international aid agencies.
Former Prime Minister Clark has been booked to speak again tomorrow at St. Jerome's Catholic (mostly dissident) University on "Public Life and Faith in Canada". Last year, another pro-abortion 'Catholic' former Prime Minister, John Turner, headlined Cardinal Ambrozic's fundraising dinner and another Catholic fundraiser shortly after.

Also, last year morally corrupt, militantly pro-abortion and pro-gay former U.S. President Bill Clinton was paid $100,000 to speak at a fundraiser for a prominent Catholic hospital in Hamilton. ( http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2001/may/01050402.html ) And the year after having Suzuki speak, a totally unrepentant CHAC featured intensely pro-abortion and anti-Catholic former NDP leader Stephen Lewis. Last week, Lewis was in Kingston speaking at a fundraiser for the Providence Continuing Care Centre Foundation associated with the Sisters of Providence.
Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition told LifeSite, "It looks like the church is falling apart at the seams with leaders that think it's alright to invite to Catholic events notorious speakers who strongly oppose Catholic moral principles. It's time a national policy is implemented to bring an end to this deadly scandal."
