Four Subversive Traitors Step Into the Spotlight In a letter published yesterday in the Detroit Free Press. Three priests and a professor "emeritus" collaborated on a letter defending a Catholic politician's "right" to be pro-abortion. Victor Lams and Kevin Miller have addressed some of the issues. I want to address this part specifically: Finally, there is the recognized responsibility of individual Catholics to follow their well-formed consciences in making specific decisions. Certainly Catholics have a responsibility to give careful and prayerful consideration to official Catholic teaching. But when that teaching proves incomplete, or unconvincing, Catholics have both the right and responsibility to follow their well-formed conscience. This is evil. You don't see me use that word often, do you? I use it again: this grotesque caricature of Catholic doctrine can obviously be used to justify any action whatever without exception and, thus, is evil. And, it sounds to me just like the kind of "thinking" that led priests like Paul Shanley to justify their abuse of underage boys. These priests really need removing from whatever position(s) they hold, immediately. They need to be sent back to seminary where they can learn real Catholic doctrine, instead of the secularist, relativistic, pseudo-Catholic claptrap they seem to have been fed on in (I would bet) the 1960s and 70s. P.S. Dale Price weighs in, too. Lane Core Jr. CIW P Sun. 10/20/02 08:00:25 PM |
