That's what my Catholic faith has always been for me, a place for a peaceful dialogue with God.It's utterly amazing that anyone, particularly one who professes to be Catholic, could implicitly condone abortion by not calling to account those politicians and others who openly support the selective murder of millions of innocent children.
...
Middlemen selectively split theological hairs, helpfully arranging the Ten Commandments in order of importance and providing a guide to politicians on how best to obey them. Punishment - "no Eucharist for you" - is swift and public for politicians who don't publicly oppose abortion. It's also wildly inconsistent, even within North Carolina.
I believe life starts at conception. I also believe protecting life doesn't end at birth.
It continues with providing children with health care and nutritious meals. Educational opportunities allow young people to dream, so a child won't have to give birth to find love. Valuing all life means support for the disabled.
The church on earth - always given to patriarchal excess - resembles a giant corporation, protecting its interests and wielding power and punishment with a brazenness that would shame Kenneth Lay.
The categorical denial of a hierarchy of truths and laws demonstrates that one is confused about fundamental issues of life. The statements made in the article show either a genuine ignorance of the facts or a deliberate attempt to confuse the issues.
Perhaps a better understanding can be inferred from the statement that the Church is given to "patriarchal excess". Sadly, this woman seems to be another example of what can happen to a person after decades of failed on non-existent catechesis. Again, many prayers are needed for the conversion of hearts, souls and minds.
