The American Life League (ALL) is taking issue with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' (USCCB) social gathering.
The four-day meeting is under way in the nation's capitol, and Michael Hichborn, media director for ALL, tells OneNewsNow that some of the speakers and panelists have been associated with views that are contrary to church doctrine. That includes Thomas Reese "who was forced to resign as editor of American Magazine by the Vatican after a five-year investigation where they consistently asked him to stop publishing stories which question church teaching on things like contraception, embryonic stem-cell research, same-sex 'marriage,' homosexual priests [and] mandatory clerical celibacy," Hichborn reports. The media director is concerned that while the Bishops' Conference denies cavorting with such individuals, they still invite someone like Reese to speak. Another speaker is Dr. Diana Hayes, a professor at Georgetown University. "She's also a noted speaker for Call to Action, which is a -- quote, unquote – 'dissident' group, but Hayes is a homosexuality activist who wrote a book espousing liberation theology," Hichborn explains. "She calls for women's ordination and she promotes same-sex 'marriage.'"The pro-life spokesman suggests the Conference needs to face up to the facts and stop playing rhetorical games. In addition, he urges Catholics to contact the Conference and raise serious questions about recent disclosures.
