Pro-life: opposition to all abortion, euthanasia, human cloning, in-vitro fertilization and gay “marriage” are proclaimed by the Church to be instrinsically evil: there is no circumstance where these activities could be allowed to happen, or legislation enabling them be supported. Other elements of the social policy are such that Catholics may hold a wide range of views without commiting a grave sin: taxation, poverty relief, foreign policy, law enforcement, immigration, and many others. Dow this answer your question of what the Church teaches?
Now back to bishop Martino: he is teaching in his Pastoral Letter his own flock on matters of social policy and makes the same point I just made. He is doing his divinely ordained job very well.
Your rude attack on him is without foundation.
“Dow this answer your question of what the Church teaches?”
You didn’t answer my question, Alex. Are you saying that anti-abortionism isn’t a dogma of the Latin Church? From what you have posted, it certainly looks like it is and frankly the response on this forum to whatever anti-abortionism is certainly makes it look like one of Rome’s post schism, novel “dogmas”. If it is a Latin Rite “dogma”, then I trust you will agree that Martino is a raving heretic and should be deposed. The sooner he is deposed, the better since all those in communion with him, so long as they are in communion with him, are similarly enemies of God as the Fathers teach us. Or is heresy OK in the Latin Church when it comes to fighting pro-abortion politicians?
“Your rude attack on him is without foundation.”
He’s a heretic, Alex, and as such a danger to the souls of the faithful.
