Christians have long argued that life should preserved at all costs - but a bishop representing the national church has now sparked controversy by arguing that there are occasions when it is compassionate to leave a severely disabled child to die.

I can't, but if I did agree with him I'd say it's a shame his mother didn't apply this standard to him...he is clearly morally disabled.

The Church of England has broken with tradition dogma by calling for doctors to be allowed to let sick newborn babies die.

What the hell is this? The rebirth of the Third Reich?

Amazing. Total return to the days of pagans who exposed their retarded babies.

This is not accurate, either.

disconnect from the root --> wither and die.

"Jesus Wept" John, Chapter 11:35

Isn't this the same church that appoints bishops who are perverts (habitually practice homosexual behavior) in the US? Why wouldn't a pagan church be all for sacrificing babies?

Praise all creatures there below,
Praise all creatures great and small
Praise all members of his heavenly host
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Those crazy Anglicans. They used to believe all sorts of crazy things. Like The Apostles' Creed, for example.

In Holland babies born before 25 weeks are not given medial treatment.

The joys of socialized medicine.

A return to paganism.

" From the moment of conception, the life of every human being is to be respected in an absolute way because man is the only creature on earth that God has "wished for himself" and the spiritual soul of each man is "immediately created" by God; his whole being bears the image of the Creator. Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains forever in a special relationship with the Creator, Who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end: no one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy an innocent human being"
--The Gift of Life (Donum Vitae) No. 5 of introduction. Published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, February 22, 1987. http://www.usccb.org/prolife/tdocs/donumvitae.htm


Catechism of the Catholic Church 2274 Since it must be treated from conception as a person, the embryo must be defended in its integrity, cared for, and healed, as far as possible, like any other human being. Prenatal diagnosis is morally licit, "if it respects the life and integrity of the embryo and the human fetus and is directed toward its safe guarding or healing as an individual. . . . It is gravely opposed to the moral law when this is done with the thought of possibly inducing an abortion, depending upon the results: a diagnosis must not be the equivalent of a death sentence." http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt2art5.htm#2274

i am not surprised! there were many reporters in South Dakota reporting on the VOTE YES ON 6 issue. They were here from other countries!! When asked why they were here, their response was that this same issue of abortion is ripping their countries apart, as well.

It was truth spoken, when we were told that not only were all eyes in the US but across the world were on SD. It was true!! It was also true that there were brothers and sisters in Christ, in prayer over the issue and SD, in over 150 other countries.

This thing that Satan has perpetrated covers and rocks the entire world!
