“I showed you from the context that bishop Martino was talking about issues of social policy and not comparing church dogmas.”

I know the context. Its a heresiarch playing politics and seeking to gain an advantage for his political choices by playing with “dogma”. Alex, there is absolutely no doubt what the heretic Martino was saying and continues to say. All the parsing of words on this site can’t change that. You are not saying that “anti-abortionism” isn’t a dogma of the Latin Church, are you?

Pro-life: opposition to all abortion, euthanasia, human cloning, in-vitro fertilization and gay “marriage” are proclaimed by the Church to be instrinsically evil: there is no circumstance where these activities could be allowed to happen, or legislation enabling them be supported. Other elements of the social policy are such that Catholics may hold a wide range of views without commiting a grave sin: taxation, poverty relief, foreign policy, law enforcement, immigration, and many others. Dow this answer your question of what the Church teaches?

Now back to bishop Martino: he is teaching in his Pastoral Letter his own flock on matters of social policy and makes the same point I just made. He is doing his divinely ordained job very well.

Your rude attack on him is without foundation.
