At the same time, there is no such thing as an anti-abortion Catholic, and there is no such thing as an anti-abortion priest. <br /><br />Both these positions reflect poor judgment. Judgment would include other values and the associated trade-offs – trade offs that must consider the individual, community, larger community, and God. In order to reflect God’s values and judgments some effort must be made to actually reflect them, rather than rely on memorized rules and emotional arguments.<br /><br />So what position should a priest take? For many it will be an anti-abortion position. But for others it will be a pro-abortion position. And for many others it will be some mix of those positions, with an emphasis on humility and the associated understanding that the Church and individuals may be mistaken. Simply choosing one of these positions as correct without consideration of your particular context would be a mistake. And, I should point out, often such mistakes have harsh consequences that cannot be conceived of from this existence – the enduring “myth” of hell is not without foundation – even if misunderstood. (And to be candid, the “myth” does not do it sufficient justice, it is far worse than any description that I have ever seen, read, or heard.)<br /><br />These are advanced lessons, representing a movement away from “milk” and toward “meat”. They are not supposed to be easy. Be careful.TonyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10383259752181717440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44918019052750220.post-69359181045051401772011-12-08T23:54:24.086-05:002011-12-08T23:54:24.086-05:00There is no such thing as a pro-abortion Catholic....There is no such thing as a pro-abortion Catholic. But there is also no true mass going on in a post Vatican II "catholic" church, so how are they to even recognize their auto-excommunication from something that is already un-Catholic in substance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44918019052750220.post-18689427062028803892011-12-03T22:54:41.105-05:002011-12-03T22:54:41.105-05:00Former Jesuit priest Albert Jonsen describes the m...Former Jesuit priest Albert Jonsen describes the meeting in "The Birth of Bioethics" (Oxford, 2003).

All those things reflect specific "positions" in specific situations that reflect judgment. Those specific judgments requires a deep understanding of "love your neighbor". <br /><br />I know that I'm repeating myself, but I'll say again that humility is requested of Catholics for pragmatic reasons.TonyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10383259752181717440noreply@blogger.com
