First, consider the book’s incorrect teaching on abortion. Anthony Marinelli, the author of The Word Made Flesh, uses the “seamless garment” approach, a favorite argument of liberal Christians. According to the seamless garment argument, abortion is wrong, but it morally equivalent to poverty or pay inequities between genders. As The Word Made Flesh states,

"The Catholic Church not only opposes abortion but strongly opposes the conditions that lead to the need for abortion: discrimination against women in the workplace, poverty, lack of adequate health care and child care. The church cannot take a stand against abortion unless it is also willing to take a stand against the conditions that lead to it."

I agree with Mr. Judge. This textbook should disappear.

He actually needs to take this up with the bishop of the diocese.

I'll vote against it based on lack of coherence. Bad for the mind.

The Catholic Church...opposes abortion...The church cannot take a stand against abortion...
