The good catholic priest appears to have forgotten that the institution he so proudly represents is responsible for more death and suffering than any other in history…way to go!

Religion, which is merely another fascist corporate structure [some may argue one of the first such structures], is humanity’s greatest “devil” in that it fosters the dominance of the “frightened by the unknown”. Religion is one of the most abused tools, and it is a tool by the nature of its use, of life as it helps provide the everyperson with the rationale to abandon his/her responsibilities, obligations and duties as a human bean.

A Priest with a conscience? You don’t hear of that too often.

The catholics say abortion is a crime against humanity, they should know, they’ve committed enough to be experts. I’m sure morgentaler is glad he doesn’t have to be associated with this religious fanatic, what did the priests do with the young girls they impregnated, start a home for unwed mothers?

I have objections to any overtly religious person receiving the Order of Canada. That this priest is returning his is good news. Is there any religion that does not have murder of non-believers as a central tenet of their belief system? ...

Morgentaler has done more for this country than the catholic church has done in it’s history, the catholics call abortion “a crime against humanity” the church should know, it is responsible for countless crimes against humanity itself. I’m glad this guy realized he wasn’t worthy and gave back the award.
