There sure are a lot of people that think that it is compatable, abortion and Church teaching.

Where has this all come from?

[lsucat]

It comes from moral relativism, poor religious education, and an American Church that has failed for years to teach the truths of the faith. What we are left with is a bunch of cafeteria Catholics who really aren't Catholic at all.

I can tell you that I was "pro-choice Catholic" in the past. What a joke! My religious education as I was growing up was pathetic. As an adult, I began to learn about my faith and see that the opinions I held could not coexist. My husband and I have learned more about our faith by homeschooling our own children than we ever learned in Catholic school (him) or CCD (me).

The Catholic Church opposes those policies, believing that both take human lives.

actually, it is a fact that abortion and embryonic research takes a human life, we believe it because it is a fact.

Brazile said by e-mail. "I will remain faithful to the Catholic Church and my Christian faith which keeps me grounded."

guess all I can do is pray for her.

“Has any “historically black college” like Xavier ever been integrated?”

Yes.
