I
think Pope Francis was right to suggest that Catholic zealots on the
issue of abortion tone down the rhetoric. But any medical doctor should
respect HUMAN life-and DNA-not holy books-decides that the fetus is
human from the moment of conception. The progressive left must live with
this truth.
What amazes me is how quickly this fundamentalist Christian -Dr.Ben Carson- should suddenly become THE VOICE of a Republican Party dominated by the spirit of the militant atheist Ayn Rand and her " Virtue of Selfishness ".
Is free market capitalism compatible with LIFE ON EARTH- never mind the RIGHT TO LIFE ?
By the way, Catholic theology made its peace with modern science many years ago. It has no quarrel with Darwin's evolution or Carl Sagan's " Big Bang ". It does have a quarrel with Wall Street values.
But what does right wing Ben Carson have in common with Catholic social philosophy ? Would Jesus accept an invitation to his Tea Party ?
