Lawmaking inevitably involves some group imposing its beliefs on the rest of us. That's the nature of the democratic process. If we say that we "ought" to do something, we are making a moral judgment.Amen indeed! Secular humanists are all about imposing their beliefs on society. Their 'oughts' are automatically elevated to RIGHTS simply because they proclaim them as such. They have been extremely aggressive and vocal about that. I'm heartened and happy to the see the good Archbishop fighting back.

While I agree with Bishop Chaput I find it confusing to hear the rest of his Brother Bishops who are broadcasting mixed and varied signals all across America .
When I was a Young Boy, the Catholic Church taught that the church was One , Holy, Catholic (Universal) and Apostolic.
No Longer does the Church speak as One, it seems each Bishop sets the rules his way. They have also given up the moral high ground and have lost any credibility they ever had.

All legislation is legislation of morality.
And the morality behind any piece of legislation derives from the moral philosophy of the legislators and their constituents.
The notion that only moral systems based on materialism are permitted to influence or direct legislation is unfair, silly and philosophically unsound.

We see abortion as a matter of civil rights and human dignity, not simply as a matter of religious teaching. We are doubly unfaithful - both to our religious convictions and to our democratic responsibilities - if we fail to support the right to life of the unborn child. Our duties to social justice by no means end there. But they do always begin there, because the right to life is foundational. Voter's Guide for Serious Catholics
