How about his abject and wanton support for the Freedom of Choice Act, Father?
How about his removing the ban on fedferal funds for abortion, Father?
How about his vote against stopping partical birth abortion, Father?
How about his sickening votes in the IL Senate against a bill aimed at stopping live birth abortions, Father?
Sorry, hearing his opposing view is one thing. Dialog and engagement are one thing...and they are all good things to do in the public square so people can hear clearly both sides and decide accordingly.
But what you did today goes far, far beyond hearing him, or engaging him. You honoredf him with a law degree, thereby tacitly lending credence to his position in law which is the abject antithesis of the fundamental values that the Catholic Church stand for, and its position on this fundamental, crucial issue.
Shame, shame, shame. You have twisted the minds of youth towards an avenue of deciet and and wrong which may take decades to undo.
For all of your, and Obama's flowery words about aborting less babies...and let's be clear...for all the talk about KILLING less babies, all that Obama stands for and is pushing for...and will continue to puch for...is going to result in many, many more abortions here and abroad.
God have mercy on your soul and on him for that.
At least this good, faithful Priest, whom YOU had arrested, knew how to address this issue...and God bless him for it.
On what grounds are people being rested?
Jeff, excellent argument refuting Jenkin’s morally relativistic position.
May I shamelessly borrow some of these ideas?
How about President Obama’s refusal to allow government funds to be used for non-sectarian purposes by religious schools?
How about President Obama’s opposition to tuition vouchers, because they might be used by Catholic schools?
How about President Obama allowing support for abortion to be used to redline Catholics out of the medical profession?
How about President Obama refusing to allow Christian denominations to join the free exchange of ideas in the public space?
