“We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel and the anti-Gospel. This confrontation lies within the plans of divine providence. It is a trial which the whole Church… must take up.” Karol Cardinal Wotyla (Sept. 1976)

Archbishop Burke: Dems Becoming Party of Death

Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, formerly the Archbishop of St. Louis and now head of the Supreme Court of the Apostolic Signature, clearly defined the last 30 years of history of the Democratic Party:

"At this point the Democratic Party risks transforming itself definitely into a 'party of death' because of its choices on bioethical questions ... the party that [once] helped our immigrant parents and grandparents better integrate and prosper in American society...is not the same anymore."Pro-life Democrats are "rare, unfortunately."

The Archbishop also reinforced not giving Communion to pro-choice politicians, citing Joseph Ratzinger's words in 2004:

"it is not licit to give holy Communion to one who is publicly and obstinately a sinner. And it is logical that one who publicly and obstinately acts in favor of procured abortion enters into this category."
