The local Planned Parenthood Director had quit her job and walked into the local Coalition for Life offices. It was a welcomed shock to those who heard. But, then it hit national news, because Planned Parenthood was scared. They were scared she would share inside information and that they wouldn’t control the narrative. They were right to be scared, because Abby Johnson had a new mission.
As you may know, there are some species of plants that need fires to reproduce. There are some seeds that lie dormant for many years, waiting for fire to activate them into germination. The Catholic Church in the West is similar to these plants. We have been dormant for so long that it may take God’s fire (the purifying fire of the Holy Spirit + the fire of suffering) to make us fruitful again.
