The pre-Christian Hippocratic oath pledges against both euthanasia and abortion. Even the pagan Greeks understood evil when they saw it.

Sadly my dear brothers not all who call themselves Catholic or Evangelical are in fact that. We may in fact be disappointed with the numbers who are willing to stand with us. Those who do, however, are our Christian family!

Where the heck is the Spanish Inquisition when you need it?

Seriously, the batch of ‘em ought to be hauled before an ecclesial court and be convicted of obstinate heresy and tossed out on their ears. Very, very publicly!

We are concerned with the Popes recent statement warning Catholic elected officials that they risk excommunication and would not receive communion for their pro-choice views, the lawmakers said in a statement issued yesterday. Advancing respect for life and for the dignity of every human being is, as our church has taught us, our own lifes mission. By their own actions they excommunicate themselves.

As the modern apologists for abortion say, the Hippocratic Oath, in the form it USED to be taken by doctors, was interpreted in terms of Christian morality. We tend to see all the Greek thought through a Judeo-Christian lens. The abortion law we live with today is a radical “other,” and is based solely on the absolute power of the mother. It is, ironically, the reverse image of the old Rom,an law which gave the Pater familias life and death authority over his children. If after a child was born, the child was chosen or rejected by the father. If he refused to pick it up, the baby would be thrown out with the trash and probably eaten by dogs.

Jon OBrien, the executive director of Catholics for a Free Choice, said, [Pope Benedict] is still putting dogma ahead of the lived reality of the Catholic laity
it will only push Catholic politicians further from the institutional church. No... Jon... The Catholic Church is putting salvation in front of moral relativism.
Catholic politicians are not being pushed away from the church, they are walking away from the church. The church is pleading with them to change their ways, or risk the loss of their soul. These politicians seem not to care, and continue on their merry way.

Seriously... I just attended a men's Catholic conference a few months back. It was so heartening to see 450 men committed to their faith.

Catholic politicians are not being pushed away from the church, they are walking away from the church. Excellent summary!

The Didache is a curious little document.
The prohibition against infanticide gives an idea of the age of it. If that was still an acceptable practice in the wider society, it is quite old.
Didache 2.2:
....thou shalt not murder a child by abortion nor kill them when born

Yup, that’s pretty much what ex-communication means, ain’t it?

Catholic voters attitudes towards abortion are changing, according to an ABC-Washington Post poll released in March. Only 10 percent of those polled believe that abortion should be legal in all cases, a 16 percent drop since 2004. But there has been a corresponding rise in the number who said it should be legal in most cases.Not much difference between "all" and "most", folks. These people are kidding themselves.

Their hubris knows no bounds. No kidding! Remember when Clinton received Catholic communion in Africa. Cardinal O'Connor (I think it was)spoke sternly on it -- saying that non-Catholics had no right to receive. Mike McCurry make a statement, practically saying the Cardinal didn't know what he was talking about and didn't understand the nature of the Eucharist! These people have no shame!

"Catholics for a Free Choice"
That sounds like a sick joke.
To: Salvation; Alex Murphy
Talked a bit with my Catholic Mother in law this weekend over this subject. She believes that this will be the catalyst to many nominal Catholics leaving the RCC, and many returning.
Don’t know, but I hope that BXVI takes a firm stand on the abortion issue.
