...let's take the Abortion issue...here on this Forum I've provided Pope Francis' exact words regarding fetal Personhood being debated...and then provided a detailed critique of his statement by a "Pro-Life" commentator, Mike Lewis, in "Where Peter Is"...who, btw, summarizes his article with the following...

"What does all this mean? Well, for one thing, it is clear that the Magisterium has acknowledged on multiple occasions that there is a debate about personhood. It is also clear that the Church has not always considered the life of a human person to begin at conception, nor has the Church definitively taught this. That said, the Church as always regarded abortion to be evil from the moment of conception. More recently, the Church has pushed back against the idea that "delayed personhood" is relevant to its position on the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception. It has taught instead that ife, from the moment of conception should be treated and respected as a human person. And in this, Pope Francis has always been in line with Catholic Tradition"

So, we have an issue that is truly "Nuanced". Pope Francis could have said that fetal Personhood begins at conception...but he didn't...nor does the Church Definitively teach it.

Furthermore, I...through a Google search...have provided the exact wording from the RCC Catechism regarding another issue that is definitely "Nuanced"...i.e. "Just Wars" (para 2309) which...after rigorous "Prudential Judgement" (quoted from the Catechism)...allows the killing of others, who are unquestionably Persons...IF, certain conditions (Nuances) are met.

Yes, I use "Google"...and No, I don't "Propagandize"...I provide and welcome opposing views, in the search for Truth. Are you willing to do the same...and enter into an honest and full debate? No one else on the "Pro-Life" side has been willing to thus far...although Ned has come close, but runs away when the one true Person (the Woman) is brought into the discussion.

What say you, Jake?
