Not much of a giant conservative are you?
That is why the Catholic Church opposes war as well as abortion, because it subscribes to the same consistent life ethic that I do.
It is sometimes referred to as the "seamless garment" code of ethics, meaning that it is internally consistent. And, it is consistent with Christianity: I can't imagine Christ dismissing the deaths of children in war as "collateral damage", as the Neocons do, or accepting abortion, as the Left does. Oh, and Christianity never needs to be hyphenated. It is what it is, and the life and message of Christ is enough to sustain it...I hope that one day civilization abandons the "Old Testament" mythology of "Abraham" and crew, which is used to justify so much wrongdoing... including, though hardly limited to cutting the genatalia of baby boys 8 days after birth (or later in the case of Islamic tradition) as a bizarre obsessive-compulsive circle of blood sacrifice meant to appease an anthpomorphic conceptualization.
Incidentally, had the Apostle Paul not virulently opposed circumcision, Gentiles never would have accepted Christ.
Undoubtedly, Paul's opposition to circumcision met with many of the same insults that have been sent at me.
But Paul won, and history is the better for his victory.
Circumcision was wrong: the Apostle Paul, and I, are right.
