As long as we can kill (and lie) why don’t we bring back slavery, too?
An example of twisting words to suit one’s purpose. Do words still have meaning?
This is so dreadful. The Casey Anthony of theology.
Kaveny et. al. can lie to Catholic, Protestants, atheists, etc, BUT she won’t be able to lie to God. And she’ll have to answer to Him for those lies.
On the lighter side, Boston College hasn’t decided if it’s appropriate to have a Knights of Columbus Council on campus. Like Harvard does.
I'd like to see M. Cathleen trying to make that argument to St. Peter - something tells me she'll be headed in the other direction!
Illogical nonsense. Parsing the term “intrinsically evil” is ridiculous.
However, I will say that one can believe abortion to be “intrinsically evil” and still vote for Obama. Abortion isn’t the only issue out there. Perhaps they think war is also intrinsically evil, and they’ve bought into the line that Republicans are warmongers.
Perhaps, to their mind, it is a matter of choosing the lesser of the intrinsic evils.

I used to take the bus from Staten Island to Manhattan in the mornings with a guy who is voting for Obama. I asked him, how as a practicing Catholic and a member of the Knights of Columbus could he rationationalize pulling the lever for Obama? Well, he said, people are lying about Obama’s stance on abortion. John McCain speaks with forked-tongue. McCain is too old. If he drops dead we’d get stuck with Palin and we’d all be playing hockey. Needless to say I had to stop taking that bus. I am sick to my stomach over that.
That’s typical of Mr. Drinans hang out!
Good ole BC.
Actions still have meaning, and Jesus WILL be judging us on HIS standards not ours. I believe our Pope has made his sentiments known, and we better NOT vote for a pro-abortion candidate.
Infanticide isn’t a significant violation of justice? Murder of the innocent isn’t a significant violation of justice? Third parties shouldn’t interefere to stop intrinsically evil acts? I propose Kaveny should subject herself to the intrinsically evil act of murder by a gang member while a third party legally carrying a concealed weapon look on and do nothing to stop it, then if she manages to survive she can tell us if she still holds the same intrisically evil opinion.
Isn’t this just Bernardin’s “seemless garment” argument repackaged in different wrapping?
What exactly are her pro-life credentials? A quick google didn’t seem to show any. And she’s into “bioethics,” to my mind a red flag, indicating basically a way with words to justify anything! Her ND bio says she lectures frequently on assisted suicide (but doesn’t mention which side she’s on!).
To quote St. Thomas More to his friend, Rich, “Rich, what does it profit a man to gain the whole world if in doing so he loses his immortal soul, but for Wales?”
Insert any name from Wales...
And she’ll have to answer to Him for those lies.
and for the millions of innocents she allowed to be slaughtered.
the flaw in that is that more babies are murdered through abortion than in the Iraq war daily.....ie, you would save more lives by voting the aborton issues rather than the war issues.
I’m a Catholic and I’m anti-abortion... but I don’t need my religion to tell me abortion is murder. Simple instinct and common sense are all that’s needed.
Our history made alcohol drinking a sufficient moral imperative for some that a constitutional amendment was passed but later reversed. If religions can't convince the sinner, laws won't convince them either.
