you are actually ABANDONING traditional Catholic morality
When some of his disciples found his teaching, his moral teaching, too hard to accept, Jesus let them go rather than change it. I do not see how the refusal of a Catholic organization to participate in activities which Catholic teachings hold to be immoral can be a departure from this precedent.
and against all the evidence that's now in
Really? I haven't seen any such evidence, but I would be interested in seeing it. The only evidence that I have seen suggests the contrary .. does not prove, but only suggests, and that's the strongest I've seen.
romantic and anti-scientific "Theology of the Body" of John Paul II has turned into a fetish in modern Catholicism--a SUBSTITUTE for the charity of the Gospels.
Howso? You've made this claim many times, but I have never seen you explain it nor substantiate it. Have you read JPII's series of talks and books that make up the body of Theology of the Body?
As to the children, they are the true vicitms. The state has chosen the path of oppression, of stifling of religious freedom and personal conscience. It has decided to mandate morality, and in doing so has overstepped its bounds. It is shown itself incapable of providing for the parentless in its area, and is using the charitable drive of people as a means to force that morality upon them. The children are the vicitims, and the state is the perpetrator.
