Point well taken.
In a more general sense, what I was trying to say was that the bone of contention between traditional Protestantism (which I follow) and Roman Catholicism is NOT so much a matter of disagreement over social issues or “social teachings.”
My interest — or dismay — over what American RC’s have to do/say about abortion has to do with my overall concern about abortion and the disconnect between Christian teaching on abortion and the actions/statements of fellow Christians. For me, it’s not a matter of thinking “Oh, goody! Another opportunity to flame the RCs!”
Both Protestantism and Catholicism (and let’s not forget the Eastern Orthodox!) have had to deal with the problem of Modernism, especially in its birth-control/abortion/euthanasia form. It has not, and will not be easy.
