Truth or no such thing
I was just thinking that it seems when it comes to abortion or gay marriage rights (and those types of issues) the main argument against those things is that there is a certain truth as to it being right or wrong (both wrong in this case). The argument for those things is always that there is no truth, not anything necessarily relating to the issues.
There is a matter of truth in ALL things. I would hate to be one of the people who can't accept this idea simply so they can live with themselves while supporting abortion and gay marriage rights.
Just an observation.
From the Catholic Catechism:
2272 Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. "A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae," "by the very commission of the offense," and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law. The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society.
Formal cooperation = voting pro-abortion when there is a pro-life alternative
I didn't say it -- the Catechism of the Catholic Church did.
