Do Vatican officials stand by the words of Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict) from 2004?

As we Travel to Rome
Hello Pro-life Friend.
I am asking you to contact Vatican Officials with us, and to pour your heart out to them with your own words. Tell them how you feel; what you have seen; what you have experienced. Your letter will be sent by fax to sixteen (16) leaders in the Vatican. (Complete list below.)
We are inviting you to plead with Vatican Officials to direct the American Bishops to uphold the teachings of the Church, and to obey John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI.
In a moment, you will see the links for you to speak directly to those in authority in the Church. Please remember; these are Princes in Christ’s Church, so be respectful as well as passionate.
Please read this before you contact the Vatican.
I confess that the series of letters I am about to write to you – between now and the time that we journey to the Vatican on March 17 – will be the most difficult I have ever written to my friends via the Internet.
I write, knowing that priests, bishops, and religious; Catholic journalists and bloggers, and thousands of other Catholic and protestant laymen are reading my words. And while many of them profess with their lips that they want child killing to end, their accumulated inactivity and silence testify that they are unwilling be the means – they refuse to take the actions and speak the words necessary to bring this holocaust to an end. They want child killing to go away, but they do not want to be the tool in God’s Hands to smash it. They do not want to get their hands quite that dirty…
And people like us – who are about to visit Vatican officials, and those of you who support us – are an embarrassment to them. We are not “dignified” pro-lifers; we want to end this holocaust by all ethical means possible, even if it means being called “radicals;” even if it means being excluded from their gatherings and parties; even if it means that we are with Jesus, “outside the gate…bearing abuse for Him.” (See Hebrews 13: 12,13)
So, be forewarned: I am inviting you to be a part of a mission to the Vatican that will cost you something. If you join us in this mission – in word or deed – there could be a price to pay…for you.
But the path of continued inaction and silence has a far greater price: millions more dead babies, and the judgment of God on us and our country. This is why we must go forward, enduring grief and “friendly fire” from the fearful and treacherous in our midst.
I begin by asking the faithful and the unfaithful in the Catholic Church: How many more babies have to die? How many more innocent children will have sewers and landfills for graves? How much blood has to cry from the ground for justice before we cast aside our pride and the love of the praise of man, and fight like we really love our unborn neighbors as ourselves?
And how much sacrilege will be committed? How much more treachery must occur? How many times will the unrepentant murderers of babies – with their hands covered with innocent blood – approach the sacred altar and receive the Body and Blood of Christ with impunity? How long will they openly mock that which is sacred? How many Angels will weep…how many souls of the martyrs will cringe?
It is for the sake of the babies, and the sacredness of the Holy Eucharist that we are going to the Vatican; to be supplicants, and heralds, and emissaries for the Innocent and the Holy.
Will You Join Us in Word and Sacrifice?
From March 17-24. We will travel to the Vatican to ask Vatican Officials: “Do you stand by the instruction of Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) to American bishops in 2004?“
As I hope you know, in 2004, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith (now Pope Benedict XVI), issued an instruction to American bishops that a “Catholic politician” who is “consistently campaigning and voting for permissive abortion and euthanasia laws…” must be “denied the Eucharist”..."the minister of Holy Communion must refuse to distribute it…" (5, 6) He could not have been clearer!
We are going to Rome to ask for an affirmation from Vatican officials about Cardinal Ratzinger’s (now Pope Benedict) statement regarding Catholic politicians who promote child killing yet still receive communion.
Our quest in Rome is to get a simple answer from every Vatican official we meet: “Do you stand by the words of Cardinal Ratzinger from 2004? Is this the teaching of the Church?”
And you – dear friend – knowing what you know, seeing what you have seen…I am asking you to raise up your voice with ours, and to help us in this mission.
I am inviting you to:
1) Let YOUR WORDS be heard in the Vatican
2) Help us financially on this sacred pilgrimage.
You can join your voice with ours in one of three ways: As a Vanguard Supplicant, a Vanguard Herald, or a Vanguard Emissary.
Vanguard Supplicant. We will send your personal letter by fax to sixteen members of the Vatican Hierarchy for your gift of $40. (Complete list of recipients is below.) Your letter will go out in a matter of minutes; you can tell your own tale of woe; you can beg them to rein in our bishops; you can urge them to intervene in U.S. Catholic treachery. Click here to write your own letter, which will go out in a matter of minutes. This is much less expensive than a first class letter or priority letter, and will reach them immediately. ( Click here to write your letter and contribute as a Vanguard Supplicant.)
Vanguard Herald. For your gift of $100 or more, we will send your fax, and in addition, we will hand deliver your letter to every Vatican official we meet. God willing, we will meet with more people and offices than are on the list below. All who we meet face to face will all get your letter, hand delivered, in an appropriate binding. ( Click here to write your letter and contribute as a Vanguard Herald.)
Vanguard Emissary. For a gift of $250 or more, we will fax your letter, hand-deliver your letter, and in addition, we will send you the exact documents and binder that we will present to Vatican officials on our trip to Rome.
These three levels of support and participation – as a Vanguard Supplicant, a Vanguard Herald, or a Vanguard Emissary – are concrete ways in which you can help this journey, and speak directly to the powerful within the Catholic Church.
I beg you to pray for us, and if you believe in this mission, let your voice be heard in the Vatican, and participate in one of the above three manners.
For $40, have your letter faxed right now to 16 Vatican Officials, including the private secretary of the Holy Father. ( Click here)
For $100, have your letter faxed, and then hand delivered to everyone we meet with. ( Click here)
For $250 or more, have your letter faxed and hand delivered, and receive a special “thank you gift” from Rome; the bond copy of what we give officials, as well as an icon and a sacred relic related to this journey. ( Click here.)
Finally, I ask you to forward this letter to all your faithful friends. Ask them to pray for us, and to write their own letter.
God bless you, and make His face shine on you,
Randall Terry
