Yes it was Girotti.
What gets me is man keeps wanting to recreate the rules.
Something NEW.
Put a new twist on what has already been laid down from the beginning of time by God and our Church upholding 2000 yrs of teachings.
Example:
Feeding tubes were not around in the past but it is exceptable as a manner of recieving nutrition.
In the Catichism it was explained that if your father was ill and could not lift a cup to his mouth for nourishment wouldn’t you lift it to his lips for him?
Cups or G tubes both sustain life in those unable to feed themselves.
Same diff. Different technology.
I like your example about the feeding tubes. Yes, the old rules still apply, regardless of the new technologies. Probably what they wanted to say with this pronouncement, but it got spun out of control.
