NEW RULE (Best of 2008 - #3)

Religion is not political.

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA):
“As an ardent, practicing Catholic, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time. And what I know is, over the centuries, the doctors of the church have not been able to make that definition. And St. Augustine said at three months. We don’t know.”

Archbishop Donald Wuerl: The current teaching of the Catholic Church on human life and abortion is the same teaching as it was 2,000 years ago. From the beginning, the Catholic Church has respected the dignity of all human life from the moment of conception to natural death. Since the first century the church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable.”

This debate is irrelevant and unnecessary. This debate is moronic. Politics and religion should never entwine. When they mix, America suffers. An Archbishop versus a Congresswoman? If he exchanges catechism for campaigning, this is acceptable.

America’s politics have regressed. Insolence and pettiness are acceptable. Abortion versus Life. When does life commence? Communion is political. The aforesaid is nauseating. The truth? No one prefers abortion. Conception is a theological question. Gestation is a medical question. Healthcare is an issue. Theology is not. Who receives milk and cookies? No votes care.
