One statement of the rule: "...it is lawful to tolerate a lesser moral evil in order to avoid a greater evil or in order to promote a greater good, [but] it is never lawful, even for the gravest reasons, to do evil that good may come of it."
Humanae Vitae
Paul VI
Very interesting.
Then where would this leave the crowd that states it's okay by them to see (and I quote) "the spawn of Satan" elected rather than vote for Rudy Giuliani?
I guess they argue that there's no difference between Rudy and the spawn of Satan?
Is it fundamentally possible for there to be "no difference" between two candidates and the respective administrations they would put in place?
