How can Bishop Zurek’s reflection, Abortion: The Scriptures And Discrimination, be “fulfilled in (our) hearing” “Today“, when “those questions which are troubling us today” regarding a proposed ordinance in the Diocese of Amarillo, “that would declare Amarillo a ‘sanctuary city for the unborn’ and ban people from helping patients travel through Amarillo to access abortions”, is swept “under the carpet”; consequently, in doing this, isn’t Bishop Zurek building “a Church in which all members can(NOT) feel co-responsible” for our mission, ” to the Dignity of all human life… Born and unborn!“❓

Sisters and brothers in Christ: a renewed reciprocity
Paragraph 14
Synod at St. Mary’s Cathedral in October of 2021❓
Bishop Zurek said he wrote, Abortion: The Scriptures And Discrimination, “…because I am tired of hearing that the Holy Scriptures say nothing about abortion; accordingly, “In this sense, (isn’t) the first change to be made…one of mentality: a conversion to a vision of relationality, interdependence and reciprocity between women and men, who are sisters and brothers in Christ, oriented to a common mission“(Il);…
…however, by Bishop Zurek not informing our consciences about the proposed “abortion trafficking ban“, does not, “The communion, participation and mission of the Church suffer the consequences of a failure to transform relationships and structures“(Il);…
therefore, what kind of place does Bishop Zurek want his diocese to be when, ” As a contribution of a Latin American Episcopal Conference notes: ‘a Church in which all members can feel co-responsible is also an attractive and credible place‘”(Il)❓
