Never nice piece of work. I'm pinging this for later reading/distribution.

Thanks!

The article errs in referring to the Bishop as "Jesuit."

S.S.J. refers to the Society of St. Joseph. The Bishop is a Josephite Father.

Abortion is by its very nature, i.e., intrinsically, evil. No circumstances, no application of "situational ethics," can change its intrinsically evil nature.

On the other hand, the Catechism of the Catholic Church does not exclude the possibility that a state could justifiably use capital punishment in cases "of extreme gravity," but adds: "If bloodless means are sufficient to defend human lives against an aggressor and to protect public order and the safety of persons, public authority should limit itself to such means..." [#2266, 2267]

There is no moral equivalence. Aborted babies are innocent. Murderers are not. Period. End of story. Sadly, my priest is a "seamless garment" guy. There's a lot of them out there.
