Contradiction of Beliefs and Practices


Most often people are faced with a constant conflict between their beliefs and their actual practices (their job). When this happens, one always prevails against the other: the demands of the job over the demands of the beliefs and ideals.

Usually, the management of Dr. Emily's abortion mill hires the police to hang around in anticipation of crisis between the pro-abortion escorts and prolifers. In fact, they are meant to defend the abortioin mill. Last week, when I met one of the policewomen, I saw a Rosary bracelet on her wrist. I asked and she told me she is Catholic and prolife. She felt my next question would be 'How come you do this type of work?', so she said immediately,"I'm not happy to be here, but you know I have to do my job. If I'm to choose, I wouldn't have been here." Of course, she has done nothing wrong; she was at her duty post. I quickly told her she can recite her Rosary for an end to abortion even at that contradictory duty. She promised to do so and also to send some materials that would help us in our work.

However, this woman has been able to strike a balance between the demands of her job and those of her beliefs.
