Joseph,
This occurred in 2009 at Notre Dame at South Bend IN.
Fr. Weskin died this past May, 2012.
I knew about this but hadn’t seen the video nor had I heard he had passed until I googled it to see it in English.
Thanks for posting it, anyway. More – and worse – is coming.
Abortion is the crucible into which secular humanism and religious faith are thrown. Until the legalization of abortion, it was possible for the two to co-exist, each feigning benevolent tolerance of the other, when the truth is that the two are mutually contradictons. Confrontation was always inevitable, and Roe vs. Wade was the official naming of the victor.
Ever since then, the false dogma of church and state separation has been exposed. It was always false, but we were able to deny it until the Supreme Court made it no longer possible.
This video depicts “the direction we’re heading”? When hundreds of thousands march in Washington and are ignored by the media, are we surprised by this video? It isn’t where we’re heading; it’s where we are and it’s also where we’ve always been. The video doesn’t make the evening news any more than the march does. The state has triumphed. And like most victors, it isn’t much interested in attending the lament of the defeated. When that lament becomes a nuisance, it’s demonized and crushed. Nobody cares much about the whine from the cells of the prisons.
We aren’t in the exposition phase, but the denouement.
