Check this out. I'm writing this in directly from the today's San Diego Union Tribune, page A-4:

GOVERNOR BARRED FROM PLAYING SANTA

SACRAMENTO-- Gov. Gray Davis was banned from playing Santa Claus yesterday at a Sacramento Catholic home for troubled children because he supports abortion rights.

Despite a 20-year tradition of California governors delivering Christmas gifts to the St. Patrick's Home for children, the school's director barred Davis from school grounds unless he would ask forgiveness for and disavow his views on abortion.

Monsignor Edward J. Cavanaugh, director of the home since 1952, asked the governor to sign a letter declaring that he repents "of ever having promoted the killing of innocent unborn children....We don't let any pro-abortion people in our grounds here."

Davis refused to sign the letter and instead invited children from the home to the Capitol to fetch their gifts.

He comes sliding down into town from his lofty perch with his confiscated mammon-stuffed sleigh; on the way down he forgets to change his heart, and the little Who's in Whoville send him packing.

Thank God for those with convictions and the guts to speak the truth!

That Monsignor Cavanaugh has a lot of courage - thank God there are still men (and women!) like that in our Church! :-)

So ... who was the grinch here? The one who supports the commercial slaughter of God's children, but still brings toys to the ones who manage to get born? Or the one who values all God's children so much that he wants to ensure they receive the ultimate gift - life itself?
