Thanks to Fr. Thomas Euteneur of Human Life International, we have what we might call a teaching moment on contraception. Fr. Euteneur has taken on talk show host Sean Hannity, who is known as a generally conservative thinker who utterly fails to grasp the fundamentals of sexual morality. Well, he is hardly alone.For a bit of background on the Hannity/Euteneuer issue, click here.
...If you need a basic analysis of the issue to help open the eyes of someone who just doesn't see what all the fuss is about, I think you'll find the column useful: Contraception: Why It's Wrong.
It's also interesting to note that I came across this post from Feb 2006:
During the 2004 campaign, John Kerry was subjected to bitter invective from religious leaders and pundits for his stance on abortion. Raymond Burke, the Roman Catholic archbishop of St. Louis, went so far as to forbid Kerry Communion in his diocese, and Fox News commentator Sean Hannity opined that if Kerry couldn't support a major tenet of his religion "... he can go to another church." [emphasis added]As Jeff Mirus states, it is indeed a teaching moment. And how many times have we been advised that we must help in the "New Evangelization" and the "Re-Evangelization" of our lost brothers and sisters...America, as Fr. Hardon put it, will cease to exist, if we do not return this country to its Christian roots and foundation.
