Thank you for supporting and listening to Off The Cuff ABQ talk radio,
Monte Monday with Dinah Vargas Christina Estrada
Via Joleen Chavez Valencia County
Yesterday at our protest in front of St Therese church, two parishioners came up to us to ask why we were there. The woman in the photo on the left came up to us first. We explained why we were there and she insisted that Vincent Chavez (priest) really loves everyone and is pro-life. She says that not everyone puts abortion and freedom of religion at the forefront when they vote, and even she voted for Biden this year (she's a republican). I mentioned the things Vincent said about my tattoo and asked if she still thought that he loves his neighbor. Her response to me was, "why do you have a tattoo on your chest?" implying that I gave him reason to say vulgar things about Jesus and myself. She was not open to opposition and left after I offered her a Bible that she refused to take.
The woman on the right came by as we were packing up to leave. After I explained why we were there, she seemed very uneasy about Vincent's actions and said she'd be praying for him. She took the Bible and pocket Constitution that I offered to her and left.
We might not always see eye-to-eye on politics, but Christians should always see eye-to-eye on the things of God. There should be a daily self- confrontation, a daily repentance, and a daily prayer-life. What God tells us to do is important and we should want to hear Him when He speaks. We could explain to others what He wants for them, but they need to hear it straight from the horse's mouth, per se. Pray for both of these women and all of the parishioners at St Therese church.

On Saturday, pro-abortion state Sen. Joseph Cervantes (D-Las Cruces) wrote to his followers on Twitter to announce that pro-life Las Cruces Bishop, the Most Reverend Peter Baldacchino, had denied him the Eucharist during mass “based on [his] political office.”
Cervantes wrote, “I was denied communion last night by the Catholic bishop here in Las Cruces and based on my political office.”
He added, “My new parish priest has indicated he will do the same after the last was run off. Please pray for church authorities as Catholicism transitions under Pope Francis.”
The news comes just one day after Pope Francis heavily restricted the celebration of the Traditional Latin Tridentine Mass, a pillar of the Church for traditional Catholics — sending shockwaves across the world.
Now, it appears that Cervantes is content with the liberalization of the Catholic Church by Francis, whose pontificate previously blasted bishops attempting to restrict the Eucharist, which Catholics believe to the True Presence of Jesus, to only those in full communion with the Church’s teachings. Francis called the practice of withholding the Eucharist to those who are in full communion divisive.
Francis also has promoted rabidly pro-abortion priests to high-ranking offices in the Vatican
Cervantes also appears to be claiming Baldacchino denied him Holy Communion because of his “office,” not because Cervantes has repeatedly voted for bills, such as this past Legislative Session’s S.B. 10, which legalized abortion up-to-birth and infanticide across the state and stripped all protections for women and children in the womb.
Cervantes also voted for a similar bill opposed by the Catholic Church which legalized physician-assisted suicide via lethal drug “cocktails.”
