It should be normal for every priest to speak this way. A priest speaking TRUTH should not be considered courageous, I think it should be the normal language of Catholics and we have to ensure this is the type of language what we use especially with fellow Catholics who support abortion. As Catholics we are extremely fortunate and blessed for the gift of our faith and be able to recognize Truth.

My pastor spoke about voting for life last Sunday and I sent him an email thanking him for it. Prayers are being answered.
