Sr. Pat's comment - On the LCWR not taking a hard-line stance on abortion

"I recall something that Pope John Paul II said: He said that all other human rights are false and illusory. If the right to life, the most basic and fundamental right and condition of all personal rights, is not defended with maximum determination ... to relativize or say, well the right to life of an unborn child is a preoccupation with fetuses or [it is] relative in its importance, I cannot agree with that, and I don't think that represents the church's teaching and the focus of our energies in trying to deal with this great moral issue."


Ping!

“Sister” Pat needs to repent. Failing that, she should at least be honest, quit claiming to be Catholic, and openly admit to being a molech worshiper.

Is that Sr. Pat’s comment or is that the bishop’s response to Sr. Pat’s comment?

Is Pat oblivious to the plain fact that she has no authority to say what Catholic doctrine is? As someone from a Protestant background, I find it amazing to hear such Protestant language from a nun, and she doesn’t seem to know it! I suppose she is one of those who think that the Reformation was just one big misunderstanding.

Sr. Pat doesn't seem to be thinking this through, logically. The reason for the 'preoccupation with fetuses' is the fact that the fetus IS the life that needs to be protected. If it's not protected, it can be killed in the womb, and not allowed to become the full person God intended it to be. That IS the great 'moral issue'.
