BLESSED ANDRE' DULIOU

In 1794 Father Duliou refused to take the anti-papal oath of the “Civil Constitution of the Clergy,” devised by the Jacobin maniacs of the French Revolution. As a consequence, at age 64, he, along with thirteen other priests met the guillotine.

I find a great similarity to the notion of government fanatics’ coercing physicians and medical workers to murder unborn babies in our hospitals. I hope and pray that anyone threatened in this way has a tenth of Father Duliou’s courage.
