“Pope Francis has appointed 45 new ordinary members of the Pontifical Academy for Life, according to a statement on the Vatican website. They include Nigel Biggar, who has said that he thinks the limit for legal abortion should be 18 weeks.

In terms of maintaining a strong social commitment to preserving human life in hindered forms, and in terms of not becoming too casual about killing human life, we need to draw the line much more conservatively.” –Source

(which it is) Rome only uses the abortion card when it is politically feasible for them to do so; and it has served them well over the years when making sure certain unjust laws get passed as well as good laws get tabled. But let me get this straight, and I hope some Catholics ask similar questions. Continue reading

In his comments, Gore equated the fight against global warming to a religious-based, moral crusade similar to the civil rights fight, women’s suffrage, and the abolitionist movement during the Civil War era. Gore insisted that it is a moral imperative to fight against climate change. … And if you are a believer, as I am, I think God intends for us to open our eyes and take responsibility for the moral consequences of our actions.” –
