NO!<br /><br />Am I surprized that they ignored the fact that the opening of the encyclical was another salvo against relativism?

Among these principles it highlights "concern for the life of man, seen as the centre of all true progress; respect for the right to religious freedom; ... and the rejection of a Promethean vision of human beings which sees them as the sole architects of their own destiny". <br /><br />yes, life is still it with the Pope and those who favor abortion start out with a non starting position. When they figure out how to do social justice issues for the dead infants while still supporting continuing to murder them, I will be impressed. <br /><br />However, I do wish the leaders of the Catholic Church would speak in plan language that could be understood in a way that did not leave everyone free to find their own niche to hang on as church teaching. God seemed to manage to get things down in clear sentences on two stone tablets. Of course that did not work out to good for mankind either as I see on reflection. "thou shalt no kill" seems to need a lot of wiggle room.Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277481992746685122noreply@blogger.com
