Ex Corde Ecclesiae - On Catholic Universities - John Paul II

[ClancyJ]

Makes me sick to my stomach.

Such ghouls.

[Earthdweller]

Once again people mistaking human intelligence as omnipotence.

As soon as these Universities have the ability to count every grain of sand on the beach they can have the power to take a life.

Thanks for posting this very informative article, Coleus. Bookmarked.

This is why there are times that Hell just seems so right.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Rev. Richard McBrien, theology professor at the University of Notre Dame, argued in support of removing Terri Schiavo's feeding tube. "This is not a question of euthanasia," he told Bill O'Reilly on FOX News, directly contradicting the Vatican.

He may be a theology professor at Notre Dame, but he doesn't sound like a Christian.

Harvey: "[The Pope] talked very carefully and said 'in principle,' food and water is ordinary treatment... But 'in principle,' which means there are conditions and times when it can be omitted."

Harvey has sneakily changed the meaning of "principle," in order to make it seem that the Pope agrees with him.

Black's Law Dictionary --- The definition of Principle

• A fundamental truth or doctrine, as of law
• a comprehensive rule or doctrine which furnishes a basis or origin for others;
• a settled rule of action procedure, or legal determination

Wonderful piece! My son went to Georgetown and used to joke about the "Kennedy School of Ethics." Sadly, the Kennedys have set the standard for moral theology in American Catholicism.

[MarMema]

In 1999, Nelson and Cranford published their arguments for removing Wendland's feeding tube in the Journal of Contemporary Health Law and Policy, which is sponsored by the Catholic University of America law school. They describe Wendland as "minimally conscious"—since they could not reasonably label him vegetative—and argue that for such individuals who cannot communicate, "Their biographical and personal life is over."

This man used an electronic wheelchair to get around and replied to questions.

These people are far more evil than the radical islamics.

food and water "burdensome interventions"?

With all due respect to their Holy Orders, these men will have much to answer up for when they pass on.

Among the ethicists signing the brief were six Catholic university professors: Charles Baron, professor at Boston College Law School; Carol Bayley, adjunct professor of nursing at the University of San Francisco; Milton Heifetz, adjunct professor at Boston College Law School; Lawrence Nelson, adjunct associate professor of philosophy and of women and gender studies at Santa Clara University; Rev. John Paris, S.J., professor of bioethics in the theology department at Boston College; and James Walter, professor of bioethics and chairman of the Bioethics Institute at Loyola Marymount University.

Let's see, we don't hang people for treason anymore(John effn' Kerry, Jane Fonda, Michael Moore, et al), nor do supposed Catholics get excommunicated for disobeying the Church's teachings. Why bother having laws and rules? At least the Baptist Church kindly asked brother Greer to leave. Well there's a new Pope in Rome, and I hope he has the guts to start tackling the problems.

Thanks for pinging me, 8mm. This article was worth reading.
