Colorado Bishops To Review Catholic Hospital's Defense In Wrongful Death Suit | TPM LiveWire

THANK GOD! Again though you've got to wonder. Did no one in the months (years?) of preparation for the defense against this lawsuit tell the Bishops that this was going to be the strategy that was going to be deployed? If the hospital is a 'Catholic' institution in reality and not just in name, surely they were obliged to keep the local ordinary informed in such a case. If a Catholic institution cannot see the danger of arguing in court that a fetus is not a person, then the affected bishops have a major problem to solve. Those Colorado bishops are going to have to review the administration of the Catholic institutions under their authority. The current practice is CLEARLY deficient!!

But thank God indeed that the Bishops are responding appropriately now that this issue has become public. Better late than never.

The language of many of their contributions in public debate is laced with invective and dripping with sarcasm and bile. There are exceptions of course, but they tend to fall more into the category of being the 'exception that proves the rule' when compared to the hostility of many of today's atheist posters. Comment offered by the theists in the public square is often depicted as being 'malicious' or 'venomous' and intended to enslave the 'feeble minded and weak' by those who post. Nothing could be further from the truth. Venom is something that is oriented to death. Christians are oriented in a 180 degree different direction. We speak not to the culture of death  that grips our world but rather for the culture of life and light which ends with the gift of eternal life. For example, the Catholic Church in its hum...
