[Mrs. Don-o]

The same people from the Catholic Left who say that "abortion and gay marriage are not mentioned in the Bible" would never use that same line of (non)reasoning to say that "nuclear weapons, torture, handguns and multiculturalism are not mmentioned in the Bible."

And rightly. Because every reasonable person knows that, while 21st century issues can't be looked up in the concordance, what you're really interested in is Biblical principles, not one-liner proof texts.

They also know, as Catholics, t hat the interpretation or application of Biblical texts is not something which is infallibly determined by each believer acting on his own. Scruipture itself says that the Church--- the Church--- is the "foundation and pillar of the Truth."

If they want to know God's evaluation of abortion, they can literally ask the Church.

I stopped reading after:

"An organization of Catholic nuns whose leadership includes four Colorado women is urging Catholic voters to challenge church teachings against abortion and gay marriage while weighing a broad range of social issues on Election Day."

Nothing new here. Blah blah blah. I didn't notice any new postulants in the photo. Hmmm, I wonder why.
