“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.” ~ Jesus.
Jeremiah 1:5
our discussion is centered around HOW to best accomplish that objective...again, within our pluralistic society.

Catholic discernment...especially when it comes to the political arena and voting decisions...read my two links on the subject...Bishop McElroy's and Richard Gaillardetz'...and then you'll have a better understanding as to why that is.
HOW we achieve this end...in a Democratic/Pluralistic Society...is the essence of "Prudential Judgement"...and actions taken.

the ending of the development of human life...YET...there are issues of a very serious nature involving the woman and how she came to be pregnant that need to be dealt with...this is the aspect of Abortion that some people fail to address...are you willing to discuss those matters?

That is, now that we know you want toddlers groomed with deviant sexual material. You're one of those disgusting old men who talks too close to people and has Biden hands.

Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
While I did post it already, it's not at all clear to me that you'll take the time to search for it.
ALL of us are seeking to reduce the number of abortions...anyone who believes that zero is a rational objective is delusional...especially given the societally draconian effort that would required to accomplish it.
There will be more to chew on later...but what I'm giving you is quality input...hope you take advantage of it...or at least give me quality material that describes an alternative perspective, reflective of our pluralistic society.

When the leak came out. Some of them are all in for infanticide
solutions that prevent those "Unwanted Pregnancies" that lead women to seek such a tragic solution...just yelling "STOP IT!", or criminalizing it with all the chaos that would ensue, is NOT a solution.

on the substance of his premise...that true Catholic Discernment requires "Prudential Judgement". You'll need to study this to understand what that phrase means, and why it matters so much to the Catholic voter.
And it's to be expected you'd rationalize the same way.
clearly stating that no one issue (e.g. abortion) has categorical priority when a Catholic is discerning who to vote for...you should go over that section and then give your rationale as to why you think je's incorrect.
BTW, compared to Bishop McElroy, neither you, nor any of us on this board, can hold a candle to his formed knowledge...in university...AND in the Catholic Church...if you're going to argue his points, you'll need to "Call a Friend".
I could go on with the fallacies, but that's enough for me. I bet you fake Catholics love the guy.
appointment process. Named directly by Pope francis. McElroy of San Diego, Cupich of Chicago,and Tobin of Newark were the trio were appointed byMcCarrick who was relieved of his duties for scandals first by Pope Benedict, and later again under Pope Francis. They have consistently worked against the USCCB recommendations of faith, and have been extremely political - pushing a liberal agenda that McCarrick also favored.
Anyone who uses this guy as their choice of bishop to quote is clearly showing their hand.
He's a Doctor of Sacred Theology after all. Our Lord & Savior could learn a thing or two from this man.
saying and then comment about the 'substance' of his writing...seem reasonable to you?

Judgement" and not relying on one issue when making a decision as to which politician you should vote for?
btw. I've attached a brief note on how the Catholic Church views "Theology" and "Catechesis"...should give you some comfort and understanding as you review Bishop McElroys theological 'paper'.

Very bright man. Very impressive.
taking this opportunity to accuse Bishop McElroy of pedophilia?...of course not...you just want to avoid dealing with what he has written...man up, Baron...deal with his theology...and more importantly, his recommendation on "Prudential Judgement"...if you don't agree with it, provide your own reasons why he's wrong and not you.
