everybody thinks(knows) they are right and anyone else/thing(different) is wrong---
then comes the big/final picture!
Truth/science is laws/design...IMMUTABLE!
I'm absolutely flabergasted by this article! ...I don't know where to start!
"Those who regard Ms. Granholm as a "heretic" do not understand, nor do they wish to understand, that choice in itself is a blessed gift. As with many other things this blessing can be used for evil rather than for blessing."
Well "Doc",
It appears to me you do not understand, nor do you wish to understand, that anyone who does not condemn the evil of abortion is an "enabelor" of the pro-abort cause... and therefore, IMHO, has "chosen" to put themselves before their faith... Just what we want in our politicians...NOT!
IIRC, G-d set up government to limit man's ability to commit acts of evil. G-d Himself even set up laws against committing evil.
It is true that individuals are still free. They can choose heaven and they can choose hell.
But they are never free to choose hell and insist that it be called heaven.
I think G-d is pretty clear on that point. And, IIRC, G-d is pretty harsh on Church leaders and teachers who make unclear what He has made clear.
Fr. Ortman may want to meditate on that fact.
Shalom.
