Catholic-abortions...?!

[Keith Farmer]

Last time I checked, Abortions are legal and NOT murder.

Just because it is "legal" under civil law does not mean it is "legal" under God's moral law. In fact, your supporter in-house here echoed that same sentiment:

The fact that it's legal doesn't make it justified from a moral perspective... (Yardley)

As such, the church is bound to uphold God's moral law over civil law in every case if the two clash. What is happening here is that the church (the Roman church that is) is abandoning God and siding with civil authority over a moral issue...one that God is more than clear about!

You're mistaken. Try this: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01046b.htm or this: http://www.catholic.com/library/Abortion.asp

One link discusses abortion due to injury and the other in a modern day interpretation.

Just for the record, I don't place much "truth" in ancient writings. Especially with ancient man's limited knowledge of the reality of our exsistence.

One link discusses abortion due to injury and the other in a modern day interpretation. Your computer must be linking to different articles than mine.

Just for the record, I don't place much "truth" in ancient writings. Especially with ancient man's limited knowledge of the reality of our exsistence. You seemed to put stock in the ancient writings in your previous post when you justified your position by saying that abortion wasn't expressly banned in the Bible.

Regardless, the Catholic Church has been firmly against abortion since well before the 1970's.

Franco, you seem to be hung up on mankind not knowing the "reality of our existence". That is the wholesale offering in the religion of Hinduism as well as most any other occultic religion in existence. Whether or not you admit it you are sold out for religion...just a religion from a different origin.

By the way, I think the ancient folks knew they existed...this ain't the matrix.

What it means is that Catholic institutions have no right to invite those with opposing views on articles of faith and morals to speak there.

What happened to free speech and academic freedom, Bob?

Notre Dame is not the whole Catholic Church, neither is the Holy Cross order that runs it
