“Killing us Right and Left”

I have removed the link to the Joanna Francis article, “Killing us Right and Left” from the Apostles for Life website.

I would like to explain why I have done this. There are two reasons.

1. The first reason is that Joanna uses terms which are derogatory towards Jews, and gives the impression that all Jews are equally responsible. I believe that whatever evil a person does, that person still must be treated with the respect due to one made in the Image of God, as all men are.

As a woman who suffers as a result of abortion, Joanna has a story to tell. Maybe if women who suffer after abortion had a platform from which to speak their suffering, this anger would be resolved, but the media will not allow their voice to be heard. Her suffering shows in her angry words, and it is clear that her anger had not been resolved at the time of her writing her article. This is unfortunate because I believe that Joanna’s thesis is worthy of investigation by serious researchers into the demise of our Christian civilization.

2. The second reason is Joanna’s obvious sede-vacantist position, which I do not agree with. I do not want to give the impression that Apostles for Life endorses this view, though I understand why there are more and more people who are taking this position.

Since this accusation of “anti Jewish sentiments” as a result of linking to Joanna’s article, and because her name was used in the newspaper article, I wrote to let her know. Here is her reply:

Dear Angela,

I'm sorry if my article being linked to your website has caused you trouble. However, I must say that I did research for three years before writing that piece, and the conclusion was inescapable: the Jews are the group single-handedly behind abortion.

I was researching abortion in general, as well as Vatican II, and feminism, not suspecting any kind of conspiracy at all. I never knew any Jewish people in my life, nor was I raised in a racist or "anti-Semitic" household. But the facts are inescapable and I stand behind them. I was more surprised more than anyone to learn the truth behind these movements.

If the priest in question is too cowardly to state the truth, as many brave religious, even saints, have done in the past, then HE is the one who is not living up to Christ's teachings and his own vocation.

Were we Catholics warned, as all pre-Vatican II generations of Catholics were, of the perfidy of the Jews (not all of them, mind you, but enough to be unmistakable), I and millions of others would never have fallen into all of their traps.

As I said earlier, I am so sorry if this has caused you problems. But I must tell the truth and warn the others, and God alone knows that I speak from the heart, only to help others avoid the mistakes so many of us have made. Did you know that the vast majority of abortionists in the USA are Jewish? And the Jews are the primary promoters and supporters of legalized abortion in my country?

This is no accident or coincidence.

God bless you and I will indeed pray for you and Fr. Dennis. However, I will not back down from speaking the truth, as Christ Himself did not either. I stand behind every word I wrote and would be willing to debate anyone on the issue.

Did you notice that they provide no link to my article? I guess it's because I provide about 30 links in my article "Killing Us Left and Right" that prove my thesis. They always take quotes out of context and call people names, rather than engage in a debate on facts. Why? Because if they debate on facts, they lose.

In JMJ,

Joanna Francis
