"(Complicit Clergy) — For the past four years, many Catholics have been perplexed as to why most Catholic bishops have refused to condemn Joe Biden’s heinous anti-Catholic policies. Additionally, these bishops have openly welcomed Biden to receive Holy Communion in spite of Canon 915, stating Catholics who “obstinately persist in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.”  It will be of little surprise if Biden goes down in history as America’s most radical anti-Catholic president.

For those who continue to be astonished by our shepherds’ silence, we may have discovered the answer. Complicit Clergy just completed updating its previous analysis on migration-related federal funding awarded to Catholic non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to include all four years of the Biden administration.

The project involved extracting federal immigration-related transactions from USAspending.gov for the 16-year period between 2009 to 2024. We reviewed all the organizations receiving immigration-related federal assistance, flagging those NGOs affiliated with the Catholic Church. We then determined in which Catholic diocese each of these organization reside. Finally, we loaded this data into Tableau, a software system that helps people explore data insights through intuitive visualizations.

People say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but in this case, it’s worth BILLIONS. The Biden administration granted Catholic NGOs nearly $2.9 billion in immigration-related funding over the past four years. That’s more than TRIPLE the level of funding under Trump’s first administration and nearly DOUBLE the amount awarded under the Obama administration over the course of EIGHT YEARS!

Since 2009, Catholic NGOs have pocketed $5.2 BILLION of our hard-earned tax dollars over a 16-year period by providing immigration-related services to the federal government. What is truly astounding is that over half this amount was awarded in just the past four years! Please keep in mind that this $5.2 billion figure is likely largely understated due to the facts:

• our analysis only includes federal programs that are clearly associated with immigration – NGOs are likely using funds from non-immigration related programs to serve the migrant community;
• our analysis does not include state-funded programs, such as the money being provided to Catholic university Seton Hall which offers legal services to illegal aliens;
• our analysis does not include non-Catholic organizations – we saw evidence of state agencies sharing their funding with Catholic NGOs without specifically making a sub-award to these organizations;
• while we did our best to include all Catholic NGOs in our analysis, we undoubtedly missed some Catholic organizations which lack Catholic identifying characteristics in their names.

Perhaps it’s just a coincidence, but we learned just last week that the U.S. Catholic Church has paid out over $5 BILLION to settle the financial costs of the sex-abuse scandal, not including the millions of dollars they have spent in legal fees trying to defend themselves. This amounts to over $10 BILLION that our bishops have extracted from our pockets … and this BEFORE they appeal for more in Sunday collections!

It should come as no surprise that Catholic Charities has been the top recipient of this federal funding, with their network of NGOs harvesting more than $2.6 BILLION of federal funding for immigration-related services. We should also not be surprised to learn that the illustrious United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) came in second place, reaping nearly $1.6 BILLION.

It is fascinating to note how these billions of dollars have been geographically distributed across the United States. In the chart below, we reveal how this funding has been funneled to organizations based upon the dioceses in which they reside. To be clear, these figures not only include monies going directly to the dioceses, but any Catholic organizations that reside within the diocese’s geographical boundaries.

Washington D.C., headquarters for the USCCB, was at the top of the heap, receiving nearly $1.6 BILLION. Washington D,C, was followed by the Diocese of Fort Worth, with nearly $1 BILLION and then surprisingly by the Diocese of Louisville with $356 million.

Another interesting view of the data is the breakdown by the federal programs supplying to spending. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) tracks the type of assistance provided for each the federal grant. The top three programs provided funding to Catholic NGOs are 93.566: Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs (nearly 41%), 93.567: Refugee and Entrant Assistance Voluntary Agency Programs (nearly 18%) and 19.51: U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (just over 12%).

While our shepherds have been largely silent about Joe Biden, the opposite is true about Donald Trump. Throughout the 2024 presidential campaign until now, Catholic bishops have been some of the most outspoken critics of Donald Trump; especially on the immigration issue. Catholic bishops stand to lose millions, if not billions, in federal funding over the course of the Trump administration.

We need to also consider the UTTER HYPOCRISY of our supreme pontiff, who called the Trump plan to deport illegal aliens a “disgrace” on the very eve of his inauguration. It turns out that Pope Francis had just cracked down on illegal entrants to Vatican City just days before his criticism of Donald Trump.

We encourage you to peruse our complete Catholic immigration funding analysis. Here’s a link to an explanation of the analysis. We hope our readers will find this information helpful as they consider the true motives behind our bishops’ criticisms of Donald Trump and their silence regarding Joe Biden.

We also hope that President Trump will follow the advice of Elon Musk, cutting off all funding to Catholic NGOs that are aiding in the illegal invasion of our nation. We encourage you to share Mr. Musk’s tweet on your social media feeds and tag your post with @USCCB.

The Intentional Feminization Of Catholic Holy Orders (Including The Priesthood?): Pope Francis Institutes 23 Women As Lectors, Described As ‘Tectonic Shift’ In Catholic Tradition

 We keep hearing and reading that female deacons and priestesses would never happen because of Christ establishing an all-male priesthood (and bishoprics), and because of the constant Tradition of the Church down through the centuries...

Francis has also said "no" to that bizarre idea to the consternation of those modernist, radical females -- and their male cohorts -- constantly pushing for such lunacy.

However, actions speak louder than words and the recent action of Bergoglio shows his true colors; say one thing and do another.  As proof of this, here is an article from lifesitenews.com and written by Michael Haynes, Snr. Vatican Correspondent

Pope Francis institutes 23 women as Lectors, described as ‘tectonic shift’ in Catholic Tradition - LifeSite

Sun Jan 26, 2025 - 6:08 am EST

"VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Francis instituted 40 men and women in the ministry of Lector today, marking the fourth time he has done so since his controversial changes to Canon Law in 2021.

During Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica on January 26, Pope Francis formally instituted 23 women and 17 men as Lectors, handing them a copy of the Bible and instructing them to proclaim the faith to young and old:

As readers and bearers of God’s word, you will assist in this mission, and so take on a special office within the Christian community; you will be given a responsibility in the service of the faith, which is rooted in the word of God, You will proclaim that word in the liturgical assembly, instruct children and adults in the faith, and prepare them to receive the sacraments worthily.

 The ceremony is a recently formed event, and takes place in light of the Pope’s two liturgical writings in 2021. These include his motu proprio “Spiritus Domini” – by which he changed Canon Law to open up the male roles of lector and acolyte to women – and his apostolic letter “Antiquum ministerium,” which further drew on texts from Vatican II to establish the lay ministry of catechist for both men and women.

The 40 men and women hailed from Europe, South America and the Philippines, and it is by far the largest group to receive the ministry in the four years that Francis has performed the ceremony.

Prior to the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church formed seminarians for the priesthood by the series of minor and major orders.

However, in his 1972 motu proprio “Ministeria quaedam,” Pope Paul VI curtailed the “minor orders” of Tonsure, Porter, Lector, Exorcist and Acolyte, as well as the major order of subdeacon, highlighting instead “the universal priesthood of believers.” Paul VI also changed the minor orders from “ordinations” to “institutions.”

The minor orders of Lector and Acolyte are still practiced in seminaries offering the post-conciliar liturgy, but referred to as “ministries” rather than minor orders, due to Ministeria quaedam.

Since Paul VI’s text, the liturgical actions traditionally performed by seminarians holding the respective “minor orders” have been performed by lay men and women in the Novus Ordo liturgy.

By virtue of his 2021 text Spiritus Domini, Francis codified what had become widespread practice in the Novus Ordo liturgy and raising it to a formal ministry.

READ: Pope Francis’s inclusion of ‘female ministries’ continues his pattern of rupture

To accompany the new motu proprio, Pope Francis penned a letter, addressed to then-prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), Cardinal Luis Ladaria Ferrer SJ. In his letter, the Pope asserted that there is “an ever greater urgency today to rediscover the co-responsibility of all the baptized in the Church, and especially the mission of the laity.”

Drawing from the Amazon Synod in Spiritus Domini, Francis urged “the need to think about ‘new paths for ecclesial ministeriality.’ Not only for the Amazonian Church, but for the whole Church, in the variety of situations.”

Focusing his attention on the institution of female ministers, Francis quoted again from the Amazon Synod, saying “it is urgent that ministries be promoted and conferred on men and women[.] … It is the Church of baptized men and women that we must consolidate by promoting ministry and, above all, the awareness of baptismal dignity.”

However, liturgical scholars have opposed Francis’ move. One such individual is Dr. Peter Kwasniewski – Thomist and liturgical scholar – who has long warned against Francis’ opening of the Church’s orders to women and laymen.

Authoring a book-length response to the question of women as ministers – Ministers of Christ: Recovering the Roles of Clergy and Laity in an Age of Confusion – Kwasniewski defended the traditional Catholic teaching on reserving the liturgical ministries to men only.

Spiritus Domini, he wrote, was “a tectonic shift both in theology and in praxis,” before adding:

The motu proprio Spiritus Domini therefore commits a double categorical error by conflating the dignity of the baptized with the dignity of active liturgical ministry.

Joining Kwasniewski was Bishop Athanasius Schneider, of Astana, who has written at length on the liturgical history and import of male-only roles at the altar.

READ: Bp. Schneider shows why instituting women as lectors, acolytes is a huge problem

Commenting on the role of women in the liturgy, Schneider wrote:

“The liturgical service of women in the Eucharistic liturgy, as reader and as acolyte and servant at the altar, was altogether excluded in the theological reasoning of the whole Old Testament and New Testament traditions, as well as of the two-thousand-year-old Eastern and Western tradition of the Church (see the cited study by Martimort).”

Instead, he posited the “common priesthood” – the aspect cited by recent popes in expanding liturgical roles to laity – as being exercised by praying from the nave of the church: “the common priesthood, on the other hand, is represented by those persons who, during the liturgy, are gathered in the nave of the church, representing Mary, the ‘handmaid of the Lord,’ who receives the Word and makes it fruitful in the world.”

Dear reader, Francis is a revolutionary!  He will not stop until he leaves this earth and stands before Our Lord at his Particular Judgment.  The problem will not end there, I'm afraid, as the next one to occupy the Chair of St. Peter might just be a "Francis II," or worse, if that's possible!

Pray for the defeat of these modernist monsters -- and for their conversion!

The Already EXCOMMUNICATED, J. Biden, Further Cements His Invitation To Hell: Biden Joins The Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina.

 So, who cares??

Certainly, his bishop doesn't care.  Certainly, the USCCB doesn't care.

So, who cares??

The apostate, Biden, further cements his personal invitation to enter Hell upon leaving this earth, that is, if he doesn't repent of his evil and heretical doings before he takes his last breath...

What a horrendous prospect!

His radical support for the sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance; abortion -- the killing of the pre-born and homosexuality -- not to mention his continued sacrilegious receiving of the Blessed Eucharist while being automatically excommunicated in the first place because of those heinous sins.

I have a feeling that he, Biden, doesn't even believe the fact that he will be held accountable for those grievous sins at his Particular Judgment!

Perhaps he really doesn't even believe in God Almighty?

Joe Biden ‘conferred’ membership of the Freemasons in South Carolina - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — Former President Joe Biden has had membership of the Freemasons “conferred” upon him, despite Catholic teaching firmly prohibiting joining the Masons and the automatic excommunication for doing so remaining, quietly, in place.

One day before Donald Trump was inaugurated as President, Joe Biden attended a “private ceremony” in South Carolina to become part of the “Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina.”

As noted by the Freemasons themselves, in a ceremony on January 19 “Master Mason membership with full honors were conferred upon President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. in recognition of his outstanding service to the United States of America.”

The Masons cited Biden’s actions as President as an explanation for the membership:

WHEREAS, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. has demonstrated exceptional dedication and service to the United States of America.

WHEREAS, his service reflects the core values of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina, including brotherly love, relief, and truth.

WHEREAS, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. contributions have significantly benefited the citizens of the United States of America;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that I, 27th Most Worshipful Grand Master, Victor C. Major, on behalf of the members of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina, hereby confer membership upon President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. in recognition of his outstanding service to the United States of America.

It is not clear whether Biden was made to undergo any of the customary initiation rituals, such as those exposed by undercover journalist Kyle Clifton.

Joe Biden has regularly touted his Catholic faith while in office, despite advocating for a number of issues which contradict teachings of the faith, such as abortion and LGBT issues.

Can a Catholic join the Masons?

As LifeSiteNews has extensively published, being its own universal religion, Freemasonry has long set its hostility against Christianity, and the Catholic Church in particular.

READ: Everything you need to know about Freemasonry’s core teachings

The Catholic Church has consistently and firmly forbidden Catholics from joining the Freemasons. Pope Clement XII’s 1739 papal bull, In Eminenti, judged Freemasonry so serious a matter, and membership in it so dangerous, that he imposed an automatic excommunication, latae sententiae, on any Catholic who joined the freemasons.

Pope Leo XIII wrote in Humanum Genus that Freemasons have as “their ultimate purpose…the utter overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced, and the substitution of a new state of things in accordance with their ideas, of which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism.”

Excommunicated or not?

However in recent years, especially following the publication of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, such clear pronouncements have become rarer, leading to questions about whether the Church still imposes the penalty of automatic excommunication. Despite this confusion, the teaching remains constant.

In the Vatican’s 1981 Declaration Concerning Status of Catholics Becoming Freemasons, the Vatican reaffirmed the prior teaching on joining the Freemasons, based on renewed questions on the topic, noting that the excommunication and all penalties remained in place for Catholics who became Masons. The 1981 text from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) reads:

the present canonical discipline remains in full force and has not been modified in any way;

consequently, neither the excommunication nor the other penalties envisaged have been abrogated.

The 1983 Code removed the clear language of the 1917 Code which noted the automatic excommunication.

However, following the new Code, the Vatican published a note in 1983, approved by Pope John Paul II, which stated that there had been no change in Church teaching on joining the Masons. It read: Therefore the Church’s negative judgment in regard to Masonic association remains unchanged since their principles have always been considered irreconcilable with the doctrine of the Church and therefore membership in them remains forbidden.

The 1983 note added that “The faithful who enrol in Masonic associations are in a state of grave sin and may not receive Holy Communion.”

Subsequently in 1985 the Vatican text “Irreconcilability of Christian Faith and Freemasonry” reiterated the Church’s position, noting the “irreconcilability between the principles of Freemasonry and the Catholic faith.”

With Freemasonry growing in the Philippines, the bishops there wrote a text in 2002 on the matter. Drawing from the teaching of the Vatican’s 1983 note, the bishops wrote that:

“Any Catholic who is a convinced member of Freemasonry, notoriously adhering to the Masonic vision, is already considered excommunicated latae sententiae (Cf. Canon 1364). As such, the censures described in Canon 1331 automatically take their full effect on this person.”

They formally issued the text in 2003, noting the automatic excommunication of any “convinced member of Freemasonry, notoriously adhering to the Masonic vision.”

Most recently, the CDF issued a note in 2023, again addressing the question of Freemasonry in the Philippines. Written by Cardinal Victor Fernández and approved by Pope Francis, the text re-iterates teaching of the CDF’s 1983 note – which in turn drew from the 1981 note which outlined the automatic excommunication. Fernández also re-iterated the teaching of the Philippine Bishops own text from 2003, another document which outlined the automatic excommunication. He wrote:

(a) On the doctrinal level, it should be remembered that active membership in Freemasonry by a member of the faithful is forbidden because of the irreconcilability between Catholic doctrine and Freemasonry (cf. Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, “Declaration on Masonic Associations” [1983], and the guidelines published by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines in 2003). Therefore, those who are formally and knowingly enrolled in Masonic Lodges and have embraced Masonic principles fall under the provisions in the above-mentioned Declaration. These measures also apply to any clerics enrolled in Freemasonry.

The question now remains as to what the Catholic bishops in the U.S. will do in response to Biden’s membership of the Freemasons. Given that he is a member of a South Carolina lodge, it raises questions of jurisdiction about which bishop should respond, since Biden does not live in the state.

But given the reticence of the U.S. episcopate to directly address Biden’s public support for abortion and homosexuality during the course of his presidential term, it appears unlikely that the Catholic former president will face formal repercussions."

Michael Knowles Compares Vatican’s Latin Mass Crackdown To Henry VIII’s Hijacking Of Catholic Churches!

 From lifesitenews.com and written by Emily Mangiaracina comes this article...

Michael Knowles compares Vatican's Latin Mass crackdown to Henry VIII’s hijacking of Catholic churches - LifeSite

Fri Jan 24, 2025 - 6:43 pm EST

"(LifeSiteNews) — Daily Wire host Michael Knowles compared the Vatican’s suppression of the Traditional Latin Mass to King Henry VIII’s Protestant hijacking of Catholic churches in England.

In an interview aired on EWTN’s The World Over with Raymond Arroyo, both the EWTN and Daily Wire host shared how they had seen or experienced the profoundly transformative impact of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) firsthand.

Arroyo told how “many years ago,” his wife was not only not Catholic but had absorbed the standard anti-Catholic propaganda. When he took her to Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, where she heard a homily by the powerful orator Cardinal John O’Connor, “it cut through,” Arroyo said, “but it didn’t seal the deal.” It was not until he took her to the TLM in Washington, D.C., that she made the decision to become Catholic.

Asked what he believes so strongly attracts young people to the TLM, even during a time when “Rome seems determined to stamp it out,” Knowles replied, “It should not be surprising that the Mass which formed, statistically, all of the saints, ever, would have some pull on people.”

He highlighted the beauty of the liturgy, noting that “so much beauty was ripped away” in the creation of the Novus Ordo Missae that overwhelmingly took its place after the Second Vatican Council. 

“Why are the young people drawn to the Traditional Latin Mass? Because we want truth. We’ve grown up in an age in which we were taught from diapers that there is no truth. Or if there is a truth, we can’t really know anything about it,” Knowles sid.

He observed, with hyperbolic emphasis, that the average age of those attending a TLM is much younger than those attending the Novus Ordo.

“It would seem to me that if you really want to bring some aggiornamento to the church, in the spirit of accompaniment, in the spirit even of Synodality, perhaps, we ought to listen to what the laity want, and what the laity want is tradition, reverence, and beauty,” Knowles told Arroyo.

“There’s something fitting about these traditional liturgies being driven underground by these very bishops. I think of Henry VIII when he goes in and destroys Canterbury cathedral and destroys such beautiful icons and steals all the land. The Protestants got all the good churches, and the Catholics went underground,” the Daily Wire host continued.

He pointed out that the so-called “reforms,” which he referred to as “deformations,” to the liturgy that were implemented after Vatican II, “in many ways” were intended to make the Mass more “Protestant.”

This is essentially true, as Protestant observers were consulted during the creation of the Novus Ordo, and the architect of the Novus Ordo, freemason Annibale Bugnini, had expressed the intention of removing “obstacles” from the Mass that would keep Protestants from joining the Catholic Church. If anything, the new Mass had the opposite effect, since the number of practicing Catholics, priests, and religious all plummeted after Vatican II, as Arroyo had earlier noted.

“And so once again we have these Protestant rites, or seemingly Protestant rites, cropping up, and once again the Mass of the Ages is driven underground,” Knowles said. “But it is in that struggle, it is in that oppression, that the Church often flourishes.”

(My emphasis.)

End of article...

As our Chinese brothers and sisters have been forced further underground -- by the diabolical agreement between Red Communist China and the apostate Rome -- to practice their Catholic faith, we too, here in America and elsewhere, are in the middle of the corrupt anti-Tradition cabal currently occupying the highest offices in the Vatican hell-bent on destroying the TLM to serve the ape of the Church, Satan -- their real master!

All Senate Democrats Vote Against Bill To Criminalize Infanticide! That Includes 13 -- Count Them 13 "Catholics"!!

In an article from lifesitenews.com and written by Matt Lamb, you will see the continuation of the "great" apostasy among those who claim to be members of the Catholic Church, yet these scoundrels are -- whether they believe it or not -- automatically ex-communicated by virtue of their staunch support for the killing of the pre-born, including infanticide!!

All Senate Democrats vote against bill to criminalize infanticide - LifeSite

Thu Jan 23, 2025 - 10:27 am EST

"WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Democratic senators once again voted against protecting babies who survive abortion from infanticide.

The Senate voted 52 to 47 on Wednesday to advance Senate Bill 6, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Act. However, 60 votes were needed to end cloture and advance the bill for a final vote. Democrats regularly oppose efforts to protect babies from infanticide, and it is arguably the official position of the party that there should be no sanctions for killing living human beings who survive abortions.

The bill would strengthen a measure passed in 2002 by providing for imprisonment of abortionists who fail to provide care to a baby who survives an abortion.

Every Republican voted for the bill, except Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN), who did not vote due to a family matter. A spokesperson told The Hill that he supported the bill. All 47 Democrats voted against the bill, with some explicitly saying they believed the bill would threaten a woman’s ability to kill her baby through abortion.

As LifeSiteNews previously reported, the law would mandate that abortion-surviving newborns be shown the “same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence” as would be given following an intended birth, and then be “immediately transported and admitted to a hospital.”

Violating physicians would face up to five years in prison, and those who go beyond willful negligence and commit an “overt act” to kill the newborn would be punished under the existing federal murder statute.

Prior to the vote, Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune called on Democrats to support the bill and also criticized the “supposed right to kill unborn babies.”

“This shouldn’t be a controversial bill,” Sen. Thune said. “We should all be able to agree that a baby born alive after an attempted abortion must be protected.” He said he expected Senate Democrats would oppose the bill.

“Why are they going to vote like that?” he asked. He said, “most Democrats” would oppose infanticide, though the “moral line… appears to be slipping.”

“What it all boils down to is this: Democrats will oppose legislation to provide appropriate medical care to newborn children who survive abortions because they are afraid,” Thune continued.

He said that recognizing the “humanity” of a baby who survives an abortion will “inadvertently” lead Democrats to recognize “the humanity of the unborn child,” calling them “afraid” to do so.

“Once you recognize the humanity of the newly born baby, it gets a little harder that that child wasn’t human just a few minutes ago simply because he or she wasn’t yet born,” Thune said.

He added, “there’s nothing more important to Democrats than abortion.”

Democrats indeed did cite abortion in their defense of why they voted against protecting born, breathing human beings from infanticide.

Sen. Durbin of Illinois claimed that the bill could “make it harder for women to access” abortion.

Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania also cited Roe v. Wade in his opposition.

“I’ve always stood on the side of Roe and a woman’s right to make her own health care choices,” Fetterman wrote on X (formerly Twitter), euphemistically referring to the murder of children. “It’s absurd to mandate criminalization because of those choices.”

“Any bill that does so, including the Born-Alive Survivors Protection Act, is a NO from me,” he added.

The Democratic Party’s official position, as detailed by its leaders, is that abortion should be available through all nine months of pregnancy with virtually no restrictions. Democratic governors, in addition to Democratic senators, have voiced their opposition to strong legal protections for babies who survive abortion.

Failed 2024 Democratic Party vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, for example, signed legislation in Minnesota to lower the care requirement for babies who survive abortions.

Former Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam also detailed his views on what the law should say and what current law is, based on his experience as a doctor.

“So in this particular example, if the mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen: The infant would be delivered; the infant would be kept comfortable,” Northam said in January 2019, responding to an extreme bill in Virginia to legalize abortions through the moment of birth.

He then said, “the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desire,” implying that the baby would not be resuscitated if the family wanted the baby to die.

“[A]nd then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother,” he said."'
