Congressman flusters abortion advocate by asking what her ‘favorite method’ is
Rep. Brandon Gill told an abortion advocate that he didn’t blame her for not responding to his questioning.
‘I wouldn’t want to talk about this either if I were you, because it is barbaric and evil.'

Apr 28, 2026
(LifeSiteNews) — Republican U.S. House Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas made an abortion advocate visibly squirm during a Capitol Hill hearing when he repeatedly asked her what her “favorite method of abortion” is.
“I’m an advocate for patients having access to the full realm of reproductive health care,” Jessica L Waters replied.
Undaunted, Gill pressed Waters, who touts herself as a nationally recognized expert in U.S. abortion rights law and policy.
“But do you have a preferred method of abortion that you like?” Gill asked.
Gill then offered to read descriptions of different abortion methods. “I want to get your take on how much you like these.”
“The first type is called a ‘Suction Abortion.’ This is when the cervix is dilated and a strong suction, 29 times the power of a household vacuum cleaner, tears the baby’s body apart and sucks it through the hose into a container,” Gill said.
“Do you prefer that method?” Gill asked.
Waters chose not to answer, instead saying that she stood by her former testimony.
Gill wouldn’t let the visibly disturbed Waters off the hook. “That sounds kind of gross, doesn’t it? Sounds pretty gruesome. Do you agree?”
Waters again refused to answer Gill’s questions.
“What about this one: This one is called ‘Dilation and Curettage,’” Gill noted. “After dilation of the cervix, a sharp-looped knife is inserted into the uterus. The baby’s body is cut into pieces and extracted, often by suction.”
“Do you prefer that method?” Gill again asked.
Waters attempted to avoid Gill’s questioning by returning to a discussion of the FACE Act.
Gill wasn’t having it. “You’re an abortion advocate. I’m asking if you prefer the Dilation and Curettage’ method.”
When Waters again deflected, Gill challenged her: “You don’t want to talk about abortion itself, why is that?”
“Is it because it’s uncomfortable to talk about?” he asked the now-stuttering abortion advocate.
“It should be uncomfortable,” Gill said in a somber tone.
“How about this one? It’s called ‘Dilation and Evacuation.’ Forceps are inserted into the uterus, grabbing and twisting the baby’s body to dismember him or her,” Gill described. “If the head is too large, it must be crushed in order to remove it. Do you prefer that method?”
Gill then said to the clearly shaken Waters, “It’s uncomfortable to hear this, isn’t it?”
“It is … because it’s barbaric and evil,” Gill declared.
The Republican congressmen would not let up.
“How about this one? It’s called a ‘Saline Injection.’ It’s when a 20 percent salt solution is injected through the mother’s abdomen into the baby’s amniotic fluid. The baby’s skin is burned off. The baby ingests the solution and dies of salt poisoning, dehydration, and hemorrhaging of the brain.”
“Do you prefer that method?” Gill asked.
Again, the now-livid Waters sidestepped Gill’s questioning.
Gill then said that he didn’t blame Waters for not addressing his questioning. “I wouldn’t want to talk about this either if I were you, because it is barbaric and evil.”

Leo XIV on Anglican Dialogue: Overcoming Differences, No Matter How Intractable They Seem
![[Image: z6nnlxn960hbk41dsx7woj661tc6niu69hv4kpe?...1777425479]](https://seedus2043.gloriatv.net/storage1/z6nnlxn960hbk41dsx7woj661tc6niu69hv4kpe?secure=q2Z-7_0mM0ZoxKdfI5k3sw&expires=1777425479)
gloria.tv | April 27, 2026
Meeting for the first time with Anglican Dame Sarah Mullally, who holds the title Archbishop of Canterbury, Leo XIV encourages Catholics and Anglicans to proclaim Christ together.
They prayed together in the Urban VIII Chapel in the Apostolic Palace.
Leo XIV spoke about a fake archbishop who was an Anglican layman, and a pope who was far from saintly.
“When archbishop Michael Ramsey and Saint Pope Paul VI announced the first theological dialogue between Anglicans and Catholics [in 1966], they spoke of seeking the ‘restoration of complete communion in faith and sacramental life’. Certainly this ecumenical journey has been complex. While much progress has been made on some historically divisive issues, new problems have arisen in recent decades, rendering the pathway to full communion more difficult to discern.
I know that the Anglican Communion is also facing many of these same questions at this time.
Nevertheless, we must not allow these continuing challenges to prevent us from using every possible opportunity to proclaim Christ to the world together.
As my beloved predecessor, Pope Francis, said to the Primates of the Anglican Communion in 2024, ‘it would be a scandal if, due to our divisions, we did not fulfil our common vocation to make Christ known.’
For my part, I add that it would also be a scandal if we did not continue to work towards overcoming our differences, no matter how intractable they may appear.”

Mgr. Louis de Ségur: Short Answers to Common Objections Against Religion - 1908
Taken from here.
FOURTEENTH OBJECTION. THERE ARE CERTAINLY SOME BAD PRIESTS - HOW CAN THEY BE THE MINISTERS OF GOD?
Answer. Because, in becoming bad men, they do not cease to be Priests.
Do you cease to be a Christian, because you commit a sin? Does a judge cease to be a judge, do his decisions cease to have a binding
force because his own integrity is not above reproach? Does a father cease to be a father because he fails in his duties? Does a captain lose the right to command his men because he himself commits a breach of discipline?
If it is so in human affairs, where public trusts may, in the strictest sense, be taken away from those who are not worthy of them, how much more stable, more inalienable yet, should not be, in spiritual things, that sacred character of the priesthood on which rests the security of men's consciences, and the whole life of the faithful!
If our Priests ceased to be Priests by the sole fact of committing some grievous sin, we should never know if we really received the holy things from their hands; for God alone knows and searches men's consciences.
It is for us that they are priests; and for us that they remain so, even when they forget their greatness.

It's all rumor and conjecture, from anonymous sources at this point. We must wait and see...
Leo XIV Rumored to Prepare Excommunication of FSSPX
gloria.tv | April 26, 2026
Pope Leo XIV has "decided to follow the '1988 jurisprudence'" with regard to the episcopal consecrations of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) on 1 July, reports Rorate-Caeli.Blogspot.com on 25 April, referring to anonymous Roman sources.
This means: "He is said to have already had a decree prepared that is similar in tone and content to the one promulgated by Pope John Paul II through Cardinal Bernardin Gantin, Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, on 1 July 1988."
The decree would declare the excommunication of the bishops involved, denouncing these episcopal consecrations as a "schismatic act".
Excommunication of entire FSSPX ?
Other Vaticanists have confirmed the core of the rumour.
Niwa Limbu (Catholic Herald) reported on X.com that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith is "preparing for the possibility of excommunicating the entire FSSPX, not just the bishops".
Nico Spuntoni (Il Giornale) wrote that the Dicastery is "preparing for the possibility of a schism following the ordinations in the FSSPX".
