Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p. Diocese of Pembroke
Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.
Ironic. - I argued on Fr. Longenecker's blog that the hospital was wrong under Catholic moral teaching to take this legal defense. Several Catholic posters (not Fr. Longenecker) defended the hospital and I was in the ironic position as an atheist stating Catholic moral teaching to practicing Catholics.
ReplyDeleteFrom the "win this case" stand its the obvious defence since our laws don't afford a fetus personhood in this country until its delivered. From a moral standpoint the view is downright immoral and ignorant of biological reality but has been the argument keeping killing the unborn legal for decades. Any lawyer wanting to win would play that card just as the abortion industry does to justify its killings but I agree a Catholic hospital should not make that morally and logically bankrupt argument nor should Catholics defend using it. We're called to rise above evil.
