the Church knew - after the fact.

Elizabeth knew for starters. It was prophesied in the OT - why didn't your so called church fathers know what was written? "The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you "

Catholics are know to ignore The Holy Spirit - as we see with those 'your own personal interpretation'. So that teaching is obviously from when catholicism was invented as the tool to come against God's Word.

One reaps what they sow. Now catholicsm is sitting looking silly as they claim they didn't know, science hadn't caught up when conception took place. IGNORE The Truth but it doesn't go away. It comes back to bite!

Gal 6:7
"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."

"Don't be misled--you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant".

Your argument that the Catholic church fails to adequately oppose abortion belies the fact that the Catholic church is by and large, the bulk of those who are engaged in the work.

Yes, there are a great many evanglicals involved, and I am thankful for them, but the bulk are Catholics, motivated to follow the teachings of the Church. All facts which refute your assertion.

“Elizabeth knew for starters. It was prophesied in the OT - why didn’t your so called church fathers know what was written?”

As I said the Church knew after the fact. I am not sure how you read into my words anything other than what was written.

“Catholics are know to ignore The Holy Spirit”

Yawn.

“So that teaching is obviously from when catholicism was invented as the tool to come against God’s Word.”

Yawn.

“Now catholicsm is sitting looking silly as they claim they didn’t know, science hadn’t caught up when conception took place.”

Argument assumes that non-existant protestant denominations at the time had knowledge that wasn’t available, interpretations that never were expressed and had divine foreknowledge of things that were hidden until very recently.

Also yawn. Historical fact, is just that, historical fact. You want to argue that the Church supported abortion (when in fact they were the only ones arguing against it), good luck with that.

Or perhaps I can just take a look at what Luther actually taught concerning quickening? But nah, why should I bother to apply real facts?
