Maguire drew on St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas who both thought that to allow certain moral evils would prevent “greater evils.” He further cited Aquinas, who said that the “wise legislator” imitates God, who “tolerates certain evils lest greater evils ensue.”

The letter continued, “Similarly, today legislators who truly think abortion immoral could vote to keep it legal since greater evils, multiple deaths of women (especially poor women) from botched abortions as seen before Roe v. Wade, would follow.”

3500 murders a day IS NOT the "lesser of two evils"!

[Renatus]

McGuire is an old man who left the priesthood and still
wants to control peoples lives. I thought he most probably was dead by now.

Daniel C. Maguire

is a 24K POS. An ex-priest, who married Marjorie Reiley while she was a grad student at Catholic University, claims he can find a woman's right to abort her baby in Scripture. Those two wrote Abortion: A Guide to Making Ethical Choices for Frank Kissling and the anti-Catholic CFFC back in 1983.

Their particular judgments, along with those phonies at Marquette who enabled them, will be interesting to say the least.

“Orders, eh? Who does he think he is?”

[Pinkbell]

Professor Maguire has no business teaching at a Catholic university and advising the Bishops on matters of faith. It is the duty of a Catholic university professor to teach the Catholic faith, not what he would like it to be. It sounds like he would fit in better with a liberal Church like the Metropolitan Community Church.

Is there a webcam at Marquette where we can see the puff of white smoke?

Ya gotta be kidding me:

The letter continued, “Similarly, today legislators who truly think abortion immoral could vote to keep it legal since greater evils, multiple deaths of women (especially poor women) from botched abortions as seen before Roe v. Wade, would follow.”

The mythical thousands versus the factual millions, to say nothing of the psychological and spiritual carnage women and men suffer post-"choice"...

And this so called Catholic is teaching.

If irresponsible sex had more consequences, there’d be less irresponsible sex.
Hey ‘teach’, got any stats on the number of women who died in any given year, from botched abortions?

Nah?.....Didn’t think so!

[Coleus]

what he's tyring to say is that it's moral to vote for a pro-abortion democrat  and immoral to vote for the pro-life republican as a republican might vote to lower an entitlement appropriation or expect people to take care of themselves and be more responsible.

 

archbishop myers talks  about proportionalism here in this thread, pro life is first while everything else is secondary.

116.
A particular responsibility is incumbent upon Bishops with regard to Catholic institutions. Whether these are agencies for the pastoral care of the family or for social work, or institutions dedicated to teaching or health care, Bishops can canonically erect and recognize these structures and delegate certain responsibilities to them. Nevertheless, Bishops are never relieved of their own personal obligations. It falls to them, in communion with the Holy See, both to grant the title "Catholic" to Church-related schools,¹⁷⁹ universities,¹⁸⁰ health-care facilities and counselling services, and, in cases of a serious failure to live up to that title, to take it away.

179. Cf. Code of Canon Law, Canon 803, 3.
180. Cf. Code of Canon Law, Canon 808.

 

also Ex Corde Ecclesia? Catholic members of the university community are also called to a personal fidelity to the Church with all that this implies. Non-Catholic members are required to respect the Catholic character of the University, while the University in turn respects their religious liberty

[Salvation]

If only that bishops would disassociate the Catholic Church with that university as this one did.

Kennedy is probably on that list.

[Arthur McGowan]

According to Dr. Nathanson, there were deaths from botched abortions in the “old days.” He saw them as a young doctor. But when he founded NARAL, and they needed a statistic on deaths from “back-alley abortions,” they just made one up: 5000 per year. The real figure was somewhere in the neighborhood of 100, at most. And that’s for the entire U.S., in the bad old days of illegal abortion.
