Once again, Roger Martin is the lobbyist for the Archdiocese of Portland. He voted to legalize abortion when a legislator in 1969 making Oregon one of the first states to "legalize" abortion before it became a federal law in 1973.
Fortunately, he failed in his effort to have no husband or parental notification legislation before an abortion in 1971. (The measure did pass years later, allowing teenagers to have an abortion during school time without parental notification.) He has never publicly denounced his pro-abortion stance.
Roger Martin is a "Republican" and maybe is the only
non-Democrat that they could find. The Democrat leanings are palatable at the Archdiocese.
Below are the articles that warned the Archdiocese and more importantly the Catholic laity, about the misguided staff hired to serve Christ and don't adhere to His expectations for a Catholic.
The "laissez-faire" , "lame-duck" philosophy in the Archdiocese seems to be the order of the day. With a new Archbishop on the horizon they still only have to "talk the talk", not "walk the walk" and save souls.
The re-hire of Roger Martin is an indication of the stagnate mentality on the pro-life issues of abortion, pro-family, and euthanasia. For instance, Father Taaffe's homes for mothers and their babies got not one penny from the Archdiocese (Father was VOCAL's spiritual director). His homes are a now used as a selling point for Catholic Charities. The Archbishop does a wonderful job in his yearly speech for Oregon Right to Life, but no donations to the organization for their exceptional job or yearly conferences.

Now, more than ever, we need continual support from the Archdiocesan lobbyist to keep us appraised of the attack on religious conscience. Roger Martin is getting paid with money from our collection plates. He works for Christ's values and should remember that.
