I think you have to be careful with the label "Church teaching", neither the death penalty nor just war are dogma, they have both changed through the ages and are liable to change again.
Leaving aside your 'guilty' label, that is a perfect example of why I think taking these areas together could stimulate useful debate. |

Sorry but I'm laughing my head off, enjoying reading this ding-dong. First the two of you admit you have already gone over this ground time and time again, I go out for a couple of hours and return to find you're still at it. My, you two have energy, you don't even need a half time break for refreshment. Do you simultaneous joint meal breaks? You could ask members to sponsor you so much per word, proceeds to a charity of the winner's choice. Carry on, lady and gent. |

No thanks, Rose, I was genuinely interested in a serious debate on this extremely important topic but I should really have followed my original instincts that such a debate is simply impossible. |

Sorry about the brevity of my last post but I was cooking dinner! Still, I don't see how asserting "No they haven't" and not backing it up is any worse than saying "they have" and not backing it up. |

I thought Left WIng, Right Wing, moderate, extreme was something to do with liturgy, and Councils with a capital C. One lives and learns! |

No, you're thinking of Gospel side, Epistle side, nave, and flying buttress, Rose! |

Don't forget the Narthex, as a convert priest I knew referred to the entrance. |

There's a very interesting and relevant editorial in today's Tablet about the Pope's speech last week in Portugal regarding secularism and the Church. Here's an extract:
I'll take some consolation from the fact that I seem to be on the same wavelength as his holiness

It looks to me as though The Tablet misinterpret the Pope's words. He praised “all those social and pastoral initiatives aimed at combating the socio-economic and cultural mechanisms which lead to abortion …” That is hardly support for abortion. |

No, it's not a misinterpretation, it's spin. That nun, Sr Helen Prejean, has also tried to make Obama's policies out to be pro-life. Reckons his social policies would result in fewer abortions. Nonsense of course. |
