It was a bit of a shock to read the flowery statement made by Most Rev. Michael J. Bransfield, bishop of the Wheeling-Charleston diocese, regarding the death of West Virginia's Senator Robert Byrd. http://www.dwc.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1203&Itemid=799 There was a moment when I wondered if perhaps the bishop did not know that the late senator was an avid supporter of abortion,http://www.ontheissues.org/social/Robert_Byrd_Abortion.htm but then I realized that such a scenario is impossible. And yet, Bishop Bransfield wrote these words about a man who could not understand that all human beings, including preborn children, have human rights. He said, "The Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston offers its most sincere condolences to the Byrd family, and we pray during this difficult time that family and loved ones will remember that Senator Byrd is now at peace with the Risen Lord and, with his late wife Erma Ora Byrd, is experiencing Perfect Joy."
