They are going with the "if you are religious, you have to be a Democrst" argument, which is obviously preposterous.

According to them, religious people support abortion, and support anarchy (no borders, no enforcement of democratically passed laws, defunding of police) and oppose science.

They are trying to use religion as a club to beat people into submission / to try to shame people to support their political party. Surely they have to see how insane that is ... how it is opposite reality and common sense ... and yet they do not.

position in recognition for her outstanding work. The paper she co-authored dealt with misinformation regarding abortion, especially in the early phases of pregnancy. Given that Pope Francis noted 'Fetal Personhood' was "Debated" within the RCC...and that the Magisterium has never taught that Personhood begins at conception, it is only right for a Catholic "University" to participate in that debate, with all sides being heard...and not just that of the extreme conservative side.

Let's join that "Debate" here on the UHND Open Forum...in a scholarly way.

He said regardless of the outcome of that debate, abortion is morally wrong.

He was saying people like you exist, and even if we accept your arguments, it changes nothing. If you truly heard that the Church is open to the debate to decide an otherwise undecided issue, you are either ignorant or deceitful. I think it is obvious to everyone in the Open that you are now being deceitful.

It would be laughable that you believe Francis thought abortion was morally allowed, if it weren't so evil, in the theological sense, for you to say that.

In the secular sense, you are just lying. You are making a political argument and dressing it up as a theological argument to lead people like 521 away from the Church.

I actually don’t mind her having done research on and having an opinion on abortion, but the comments indirect opposition to and criticizing Catholicism should get her bounced.

My daughter is a freshman at ND who attended Catholic school coming up and she said that the humanities teachers and particularly anthropology and psych are pretty crazy woke.
