Re: The murder of the abortionist Dr. Tiller
Such catholic lukewarms - and so few believers in the comments
"We need to learn to work with each other, despite differences, and this will help work to make people from different positions find more than just common ground, but to reconsider ideas and work for something new. We need the new. We need reform. Today. All of us."
"In better days, she'd have been excommunicated for defending the monster Obama.
Now, we have fallen so far and so fast that such a woman is capable of being described as being committed to Catholic teachings."

Re: The murder of the abortionist Dr. Tiller
Was it Aristotle who said that man is a political animal? What usually has is people pick a political side and then they force everything else to fit into the paradigm that supports their political allegiances. So a Catholic Democrat will convince herself that she is really pro-life even though she supports candidates who do nothing but advance the cause of abortion. A Catholic Republican will convince himself that Just War teaching does not really apply because God wants us to defeat the Islamo-fascists who are his enemy too. The tough position is to treat the Gospels with complete seriousness and realize that they don't serve political parties.
--- Nothing by force, but everything by charity.
Ss. Thomas Aquinas and Augustine, pray for us.

Re: The murder of the abortionist Dr. Tiller
People are doing even worse things
"The monkeys are only a few months old so far. It will take four or five years before the scientists know whether they are able to reproduce successfully. It could take even longer to notice any long-term health effects. But Mitalipov says he doesn't want to wait that long — he wants to try the technique in people. "
"This kind of manipulation is called "germ line" therapy, and it's been considered taboo. For one thing, if there are health risks, they will affect multiple generations. For another, it could open the door to genetically engineering a lineage of people with supposedly superior qualities. This is called eugenics, and many people find that repugnant. "
