We view the right to life as God given and fundamental. To have ANY life, whether you judge it to be of good or bad quality, one must be allowed to LIVE. Of course I and others who oppose abortion want each human being to live a dignified life but FIRST the right to LIVE must be respected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36562133.post-20611527331801528272009-04-06T08:29:00.000-05:002009-04-06T08:29:00.000-05:00Dearest Father in Christ,Ironically I am a student...Dearest Father in Christ,<BR/><BR/>Ironically I am a student at Christendom College, funny you should mention that. I just wanted to agree with what you said here. I was just watching a video on youtube that shows Cardinal Egan at some sort of fundraising dinner laughing with Obama, (at the presidential table of course) at jokes being made by McCain.

Wade as well as the Born Alive Infant Protection Act (which he blocked from a full vote and passage as an IL senator...even NARAL didn't oppose it), render him utterly undeserving of any such recognition by a university that purports to call itself Catholic.<BR/><BR/>Shame on Notre Dame.Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01016763543666450600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36562133.post-90687709174207466362009-03-30T06:10:00.000-05:002009-03-30T06:10:00.000-05:00George Bush also spoke at Notre Dame. That speech ...George Bush also spoke at Notre Dame. That speech was criticized because he was such a proponent of the death penalty. You will remember that, as Texas governor he made jokes about Karla Fay Tucker who asked for a commutation of her sentence to life in prison so she could help other prisoners. You will recall that Bush ignored Billy Graham and Pope John Paul's request to commute the sentence. You must admit that in his view of the death penalty, George Bush must be looked at as a "pro-death" president. He spoke at Notre Dame. There are two separate camps in Catholicism, the Rerum Novarum Catholics and the Humanae Vitae Catholics. In truth both encyclicals are important in the Church. We are not followers of Paul nor Leo but of Christ(1Corinthians 3). What troubles me is that some in the pro-life movement refuse to acknowledge the importance of Catholic social teaching. They appear to believe that life in the womb is more important than life outside the womb. They are more like workers on an assembly line, creating a car, not caring about the product once it leaves the plant. Their view that abortion is the only political issue of merit is self-serving, leaving them unconcerned about the lives their work helps bring into the world. The pro-life movement has become infected with a disease which may very well destroy itself and its work. They view the potential of life as greater importance than life itself.radio45https://www.blogger.com/profile/03028346716140781309noreply@blogger.com
