In Vatican teaching, the phrase in defense of life "from conception to natural death" refers to its bans on abortion and euthanasia.

What exactly do they think "in defense of life 'from conception to natural death'" means in ordinary language?

This is going to sound very weird, but during the Terri Schindler travesty I had this fantasy that the Pope would send a multitude of priests into the hospice to get her out. The guards would not have shot them.

The unborn are increasingly treated as property and have only such rights as their "masters" grant them. Their right to be born has been stripped away.

I was tempted to reply, "In other headline news, the sun rose in the east this morning" ... but in these times it's not clear that we can take anything for granted. Praise God that the Rock stands firm!

Pope Benedict XVI indicated Saturday he will stick to Pope John Paul II's unwavering stands against abortion and euthanasia, saying pontiffs must resist attempts to "water down" Roman Catholic teaching.

What does he want, a medal?

Seriously, this is like a cop, whose job it is to enforce the law, "indicating" that he had plans to enforce the law, and a huge roar of applause going up from law-abiding people; "Whew! Thank God! You go, Mr. Cop! If you hand't made this bold 'indication', people might think you planned on going bad. God bless you, Officer!"

See how stupid that sounds?
