I am catholic and I have a children conceived by IVF. God told me to do it and was right. |
It is terrible if this treatment is denied to patients in Alabama. So cruel. |
We are all sinners but God cannot ordain that which is sin. |
God gave us the ability to help treat infertility with IVF. An amazing gift from god and you are disrespecting the gift. |
Uh, there are more Democratic Catholics in government. It's the evangelicals you should be worried about. |
Not according to the Catholic Church. I’ll put my trust there and not in you. Although I will pray for you for your conversion. |
You are not to sit in judgement either. That is between PP and her God. You don't get to decide for everyone what God, if a god even exists - which many dispute, would make the law of Alabama. God is not a legislator nor a Justice. The law of this land is meant to be a compromise of all of our people, and we don't all agree. You cannot make something a crime when others believe it to be a God given right. Ironic, no? |
DP: You are welcome to do that. You are not welcome to impose your personal beliefs on others who just as strongly hold opposite beliefs. Do you understand that part of our nation's founding principles? |
It doesn't matter what God wants when creating law..... You can do whatever you're God tells you to do in your personal life. But you do not get your legislate it to demand everyone else follows your beliefs...
It is boggers to me that we are allowing religion to seek into our political atmosphere.. . We literally thought he war over this |
Indeed. Our parish prays at every Mass during the Prayer of the Faithful for God to intercede with our government leaders so that they support policies in line with the doctrine of the Church. |
Actually if the action violates natural law and the doctrine of the Church I have an obligation as a Catholic to oppose it. So I will, and vote accordingly. |
My point is that maybe you should reconsider whether looking to such a fallible institution that has clearly been under the sway of corruptible men for centuries when trying to how a government should be run for both Catholic and non-Catholic citizens. Not great judgment on your part. |
You did so, hopefully, knowing where the Church stands on IVF, right? |
If you have a direct message from the lord, I would listen to it. Eventually, the Catholic church will evolve on this issue. They move at a glacial place but they will come around. |
The Church was totally cool with child molestation for a couple centuries until the Boston Globe spilled the beans. The Church still tries to weasel out of compensation for victims. Are you really telling me that the Church's views on IVF matter? Come back to reality. |
