I've had to confront this situation involving an active parishioner who was rabidly and actively directly supporting abortion. This fellow would also corner me in random places to start an argument with me, hitting me with what he thought were irrefutable arguments for his cause. I calmly answered him and also explained that he was in mortal sin by actively participating in this intrinsic evil.Then three of my pro-life friends did the same. The problem was that he was also a highly involved guy who made his position clear and constantly and publicly stated his position. Finally, I respectfully explained the situation to our priest. Not a whole lot changed at first as his entourage rallied around him. But, eventually, I noticed, he was gone. I have no idea what happened. I did my part despite getting mucho pushback. I didn't care.

You did what you had to. As long as we are responding in Truth and Love, then we have done what we need to. Pray for this man’s conversion.
Yes, indeed!
