Crown Prince and Father in Liechtenstein Under Threat

Because the Princes of Liechtenstein, Prince Hans Adam, and his son, Crown Prince and Regent Alois, are loyal Catholics and want to veto abortion, the Princes are under threat of  being pushed out by the liberals. It is a horribly mean situation. Those liberals who are no longer Catholic want to reduce their powers. In the country, the people are divided over the issue of abortion and the issue of a monarchy. That the Crown Prince is also one of the key figures in the business and banking industries may make a difference, as he could pull up stakes and move his tents elsewhere, causing severe economic difficulties for the tiny country, which is reliant on tourists and banking interests. 

Sad day, that the oldest, most Catholic monarchs are under siege for The Faith. Pray for these brave men. The media in England is, weirdly, against the monarchy as well. Anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable prejudice, even in England.

What I find most horrible is the linking of abortion, the murder of babies, to democracy. What a travesty.

I shall have many posts today because of the insecurity of my computer situation. I am at one right now.

Update: Voters upheld monarchy. Here is link and a bit. Praise God.

The people of Liechtenstein have overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to curtail the political power of the royal family.

Despite an almost year-long pro-democracy campaign, 76% of those voting in Sunday's referendum said Crown Prince Alois should be allowed to retain his power of veto over decisions made in nationwide ballots.

Crown Prince Alois, who now carries out public duties in place of his father, Prince Hans Adam, has an unusual amount of power for a western European monarch in the 21st century. His powers were even extended, with the approval of the people, in 2003.
