That is all that needs to be said.
Looks like Pope Benedeict needs to reinstate the supressing policies against the Jesuits again. He has his work cut out for him.
So what th'heck does this mean? Googling fertilization ovocites pronucleus all I found was one article (in Spanish, translated) reporting research on Chilean mussels. My impression is that the "two pronucleus" refers to that very brief interval after the sperm has penetrated the ovum, but before the nuclei of the sperm and ovum have merged.
In which case, how could this have any possible significance?
Exactly. If he's talking about the time period before the DNA of the parents splits and re-forms as the child's DNA, he isn't breaking any new ground.
Much ado.
Not buying it.
Another Pope Benedict did that, with the number XIV.
I eagerly await the Papal ZOTTING of this guy.
The World needs the voice of the Catholic Church announcing a maximalist position on human life, even if the World does not always listen. Once the Church starts watering down its position on human life, it is giving aid and comfort to the countless modern moral horrors of the Culture of Death that at their base do not believe that human life has inherent dignity.

After reading: "He questionned the Churchs official position who is intransigent in defending each human life from conception to naturla death, with no exception.",
I'm all for that as well.
JESUITS LOVED ARMINIUS - "We have planted that soveraigne drugge Arminianisme, which we hope will purge the Protestants from their heresie; and it flourisheth and beares fruit in due season. For the better prevention of the Puritanes"
The Jesuits and Predestination
If the joint verdict of Arminius himself, and of his English proselyte Hoord, will not turn the scale, let us add the testimony of a professed Jesuit, by way of making up full weight. When archbishop Laud's papers were exam- ined, a letter was found among them, thus endorsed with that prelate's own hand: "March, 1628. A Jesuit's Letter, sent to the Rector at Bruxels, about the ensuing Parliament." The design of this letter was to give the Superior of the Jesuits, then resident at Brussels, an account of the posture of civil and ecclesiastical affairs in England; an extract from it I shall here subjoin: "Father Rector, let not the damp of astonishment seize upon your ardent and zealous soul, in apprehending the sodaine and unexpected calling of a Parliament. We have now many strings to our bow. We have planted that soveraigne drugge Arminianisme, which we hope will purge the Protestants from their heresie; and it flourisheth and beares fruit in due season. For the better prevention of the Puritanes, the Arminians have already locked up the Duke's (of Buckingham) eares; and we have those of our owne religion, which stand continually at the Duke's chamber, to see who goes in and out: we cannot be too circumspect and carefull in this regard. I am, at this time, transported with joy, to see how happily all instruments and means, as well great as lesser, co-operate unto our purposes. But, to return unto the maine fabricke:--OUR FOUNDATION IS ARMINIANISME. The Arminians and projectors, as it appeares in the premises, affect mutation. This we second and enforce by probable arguments."9
5 SOLAS!
This good'ole Jesuit, sounds like the Devil's advocate, out to obliterate.
...The Catholic vs. the Protestant...
No wonder Ireland is having such a problem. If I had that baloney fed to me from youngin'hood, I'd probably be fightin' too...
By their fruits you will know them.
He needs our prayers.
Please shut up, Cardinal Martini, and pursue your retirement occupation with some dignity.
