Pope: A Society with Legal Abortion Cannot Fight Crime Effectively

LifeSiteNews ^ | 9/18/06 | John-Henry Westen

[incredulous joe]

i couldn't have said it better myself.

Really, if I were stuck in a room full of Catholic theologians for 20 years,....I couldn't have said it better myself!

[Petronski]

I'm disputing that legalized abortion leads to crime.

You were saying something else entirely when you said this:

You know who commits most of the crimes... gangs. And hispanic Catholics are a huge part of that... Not abortion...

[Campion]

After she was burned alive.

Which proves what? Rome didn't condemn her; Rome didn't execute her. She was tried in violation of church law by a kangaroo court, under a bishop who had been paid off by the English.

[Petronski]

Pointing out your many many errors indicates how poorly read you are, further devaluing your own personal interpretation of scripture.

[marajade]

Pointing out trivial things makes you critical. If you had a real argument you wouldn't feel the need to do it.

Of course, I just know you have a need to feel superior or self righteous. Do you?

[Campion]

Especially since abortion is LEGAL in the US.

Slavery was once LEGAL in the US, too. Did you cite Romans 13:1 to justify that?

[Petronski]

Rome didn't condemn her; Rome didn't execute her. She was tried in violation of church law by a kangaroo court, under a bishop who had been paid off by the English.

Shhhh!   Be quiet! She's trying to get away with distortions the truth so as to smear the Roman Catholic Church.

[marajade]

"She was tried in violation of church law by a kangaroo court, under a bishop who had been paid off by the English."

Was he a bishop of the Catholic Church? Why didn't the Catholic Church interfere?

[Petronski]

You haven't even mastered your own language. Why would I care about your own personal interpretation of scriptures written in other languages?

[marajade]

That's okay. St. Joan of Arc was illiterate so I feel I'm in good company.

[marajade]

"Slavery was once LEGAL in the US, too. Did you cite Romans 13:1 to justify that?"

A war was fought to outlaw it.

While were speaking of slavery, what about the Catholic Church's position about Spanish terriority in South America?

[Petronski]

1 Let every soul be subject to higher powers: for there is no power but from God: and those that are, are ordained of God.

Romans 13:1.

If she were German in 1943, she'd use that verse to justify Sonderbehandlung as a Endlösung to the Judenfrage.

[Petronski]

If you're admitting illiteracy, you're weakening still further the dubious value of your own personal interpretation of scripture.

[Petronski]

The Pope was Hitler's buddy.

Liar.

[marajade]

Its a known fact that the Pope did not strongly speak out against Hitler. If he had, he might of been able to save more lives than were.

[onyx]

The Pope was Hitler's buddy.

That's a vicious lie, marajade.

Thanks for the alert ping, Petronski.

[Petronski]

Its [Apostrophes!] a known fact that the Pope did not strongly speak out against Hitler.

That's a known lie. Also, Pius XII and the Church saved 860,000 Jews from the Holocaust.

[MikefromOhio]

The Pope was Hitler's buddy.

What's FR without a little Catholic hate....come on now....there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that the Pope and Hitler were "buddies".

[marajade]

And more than that could have been saved. But even more than just jews would have been saved if the Pope would have just came out stated that that behavior wasn't acceptable and he didn't.
