At the start of A Brief, Liberal, Catholic Defense of Abortion, authors Daniel Dombrowski and Robert Deltete present themselves as Catholics. They are both professors of philosophy at Seattle University, a Jesuit institution. Yet by the end of the book, they declare that the majority opinion written by Harry Blackmun in Roe v. Wade is "compatible with much of what we have argued in this book," and they defend "late-term abortions" as morally permissible where "the health and well-being of a pregnant woman" is involved. Their defense of abortion is liberal all right, but is it Catholic?

Sickening, but not surprising.
So many heretics, so few fagots.
I wonder if this will come to the Holy Father's attention, and what he would do if it did.
Mat 13:24-43 DRB Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. (25) But while men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way. (26) And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle. (27) And the servants of the good man of the house coming said to him. Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? Whence then hath it cockle? (28) And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? (29) And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it. (30) Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn. (31) Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. (32) Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof. (33) Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. (34) All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them. (35) That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world. (36) Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field. (37) Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man. (38) And the field is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle are the children of the wicked one. (39) And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels. (40) Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world. (41) The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity. (42) And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (43) Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
I prefer "So many heretics, so little firewood." Less chance for confusion!
Check out the chapel at Seattle University (under the control of the Jesuits)....

It's not as bad as the one at Sofia University in Tokyo.
At least Seattle has a proper crucifix.
Are those solar panels on top?
"At least Seattle has a proper crucifix."
Thank God for smaller mercies.
