Triumphal Coincidence
The Catholic News Service reports on a new chapel adjoining a Catholic radio station in Buffalo, New York. The “hook” in what appears to be a rather routine story is that the chapel occupies the space of a former abortion clinic. This sort of thing always brings out the humility in pro-life Catholics.
“In the tradition of the early church, pagan temples were turned into holy spaces. We have done the same thing here today.” – Bishop Edward U. Kmiec of Buffalo
Of course the radio station had no idea that the space once housed an abortion clinic until the previous owner told them, nor has this holy makeover eliminated abortion services in the area. It was pure chance that has been turned into an excuse to crow and glory in the idea that they are holy warriors stamping out the “pagan” menace.
