Appeal to the heartless Judge Bell who has ears that do not hear

The following is a summary of the formal teachings of the Catholic Church and of the beliefs of all other Christians, Muslims and other persons of right reason. The excerpted quotations of the newly released English edition of the "Catechism of the Catholic Church," dated 1994 and released in June this same year, are found at the end of this letter. Upon request I will be happy to furnish you a copy of the Catechism. Note: There are approximately 50 million Catholics in the United States.

A full human being becomes present at the moment of conception -- body, soul and spirit. Neither the physical size, visibility or location of the individual nor the degree of acquired life experience of such person has any bearing on the child's true relationship to God or man. Such child is already God's son or daughter and is a brother or sister in the human race. A mother who intends to give birth to the child in her womb calls it a baby. A mother who intends to destroy her child calls it a blob of tissue or uses some equivalent term. However, after an average of 6.7 years each woman who has killed her child recognizes her guilt and often turns to alcohol, drugs, suicide, child abuse, etc. creating many social problems for herself, family and community. She relives the experience of having her child murdered within her own body, a very traumatic experience. Very few women remain permanently calloused to this very personal experience.

Everyone with the physical and mental capacity, to the degree opportunity exists, to defend innocent human beings, from the moment of conception to natural death, is morally required to do so according to both calling and means available according to ones own relationship with God. Evidence indicates that Paul Hill acted according to his understanding of proper relationship with God and his innocent brothers and sisters who were scheduled to be killed by an acknowledged mass murderer (abortion is advertised in the Yellow Pages of phone directories) and his accomplices. According to formal Catholic teaching Paul Hill acted according to right reason not only to protect the innocent but also for the salvation of his own soul. The insidious mental disease of long term acceptance of immoral abortion will, in the not to distant future, be reversed. You, Judge Bell, can be an important figure in future history books in regard to this imminent reversal, or, you can be an obstacle in the path of this coming change. This will be the greatest choice you ever make in this life.

If you, as legal presiding judge in this case, impose any sentence upon Paul J. Hill, who is already wrongly serving life without parole and has been subjected to other penalties, you will incur the wrath of God and subject yourself to eternal damnation (unrelenting and unending suffering). I doubt that it will then be of any comfort to you that you have the assurance that uncountable numbers of Catholic bishops and others will be in Hell with you for their failure to be more active against the grave evil of legally procured abortion. Keep in mind that the duty of both judges and prosecutors is to promote justice. To do otherwise constitutes the worst kind of anarchy. To promote the letter of the law without understanding and observing justice is condemnable.

It is my belief that if you do anything other than refuse to pass any sentence upon Paul Hill or declare a mistrial based upon improper presentation of defense, etc., even if it means the end of your career as judge, possibly even a jail term, you will be morally guilty of the continuing crime of legally approved murder by abortion. If you care to discuss this matter with me at any time I will make myself immediately available to your office.

"Necessity Defense" -- A commentary by father David C. Trosch

Excerpts from the "Catechism of the Catholic Church" -- emphasis added.

2270 Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception. From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person - among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life.

2323 Because it should be treated as a person from conception, the embryo must be defended... like every other human being.

2268 ... The murderer and those who cooperate voluntarily in murder commit a sin that cries out to heaven for vengeance.

2269 ... The moral law prohibits ... refusing assistance to a person in danger.

2258 "Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains for ever in a special relationship with the Creator, who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end: no one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right to destroy an innocent human being."

2260 For your lifeblood I will surely require a reckoning.... Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for God made man in his own image. (Gen 9:5-6)

2261 ... "Do not slay the innocent and the righteous." The deliberate murder of an innocent person is gravely contrary to the dignity of the human being, to the golden rule, and to the holiness of the Creator. The law forbidding it is universally valid: it obliges each and everyone, always and everywhere.

2271 Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an ends or as a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law:

God, the Lord of life, has entrusted to men the noble mission of safeguarding life, and men must carry it out in a manner worthy of themselves. Life must be protected with the utmost care from the moment of conception: abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes.

2273 ... "The inalienable rights of the person must be recognized and respected by civil society and the political authority. These human rights depend neither on single individuals nor on parents; nor do they represent a concession made by society and the state; they belong to human nature and are inherent in the person by virtue of the creative act from which the person took his origin. Among such fundamental rights one should mention in this regard every human being's right to life and physical integrity from the moment of conception until death."

"The moment a positive law deprives a category of human beings of the protection which civil legislation ought to accord them, the state is denying the equality of all before the law. When the state does not place its power at the service of the rights of each citizen, and in particular of the more vulnerable, the foundations of a state based on law are undermined. ... As a consequence of the respect and protection which must be ensured for the unborn child from the moment of conception, the law must provide appropriate penal sanctions for every deliberate violation of the child's rights."

1902 ...A human law has the character of law to the extent that it accords with right reason, and thus derives from the eternal law. Insofar as it falls short of right reason it is said to be an unjust law, and thus has not so much the nature of law as of a kind of violence. (St. Thomas Aquinas, STh I-II, 93, 3, ad 2.)

1903 Authority is exercised legitimately only when it seeks the common good of the group concerned and if it employs morally licit means to attain it. If rulers were to enact unjust laws or take measures contrary to the moral order, such arrangements would not be binding in conscience. In such a case, "authority breaks down completely and results in shameful abuse."
