For decades, Japan has had a high rate of legal abortion.
Yet the Catholic Church in Japan rarely speaks publicly or prominently about it.
Japanese culture avoids public moral confrontation.
But is the Church supposed to imitate the culture when human lives are at stake?
2 years ago, Jordan "The Fearless Patriot" Salinas posted on Facebook "train like your life depends on it because God forbid, one day it might"
Today he helped save the lives of countless civilians from an active shooter at the In-N-Out in Twin Falls, Idaho
what's chilling is that in this very facebook post from 2 years ago, he is posed in the exact same way and holding what appears to be the same gun that he used to save the lives of countless individuals today
Catholics in Japan rarely speak publicly about the Church’s hard teachings on sex, marriage, and the body.
At least, that has been my experience.
But why?
Out of fear? Minority caution? Poor catechesis? The mistaken idea that silence is charity?
This silence should disturb.
Let’s not let a radically different vision of human life go unheard.
