WOMEN MUST BEAR RAPISTS' KIDS

“The path of ideology leads to heartlessness and cruelty.”
Pudinhand Wilson

This CNS April 30 Newsbriefs story reminds us that no matter how earnestly liberal theologians try to soften the edges of Catholic ideology, collection-plate dollars are being used daily to thump thump thump away at women’s reproductive health.

Bishops fight contraception mandate in Connecticut Catholic hospitals

Declaring that "Catholic institutions should have a right to be Catholic," the Connecticut bishops stepped up a campaign urging lawmakers to amend or defeat a bill that would require all Catholic hospitals in the state to provide emergency contraception to rape victims.

Let’s say you’re twelve year old daughter has been raped, she is picked up unconscious and without identification and is taken to a Catholic hospital. They will not administer morning after medication.

In the Church’s opinion, your twelve year old daughter, if she has conceived, has an obligation to carry the rapist’s child to term.

This is now the official policy of the US Supreme Court. They (the Catholic-five) view any abortion as murder. They will commit lesser sins, such as lying to Judiciary Committees, or keeping their fingers crossed when taking their oaths, or misrepresenting their legal opinions, in order to save innocent people (unborn) from being murdered.

If they did less they would face excommunication.

In another CNS story the Pope pleads for priestly vocations.

Pope pleads for vocations as he ordains 22 new priests for Rome

Of the 22 new priests who will serve in the Diocese of Rome, 12 were from Italy and 10 from other countries on three continents.

The Catholic Church flourished in an age of ignorance. Access to information in the Dark Ages, say, was limited to priestly pronouncements. A peasant who was told that the Catholic Church is the one true Church had no basis of comparison.

These days where I live, in San Francisco, even the poorest person who can locomote to a branch library can go on the internet and find out with a few clicks how many religions there might be to choose from.

Anyway, as Roman Catholics, the Five Supremes take moral orders from the head of state of a foreign country. Their loyalty to the Pope supersedes loyalty to any civil authority.
