Catholics also have relatively similar rates of murder and child abuse as those in the non-Catholic community, does this mean that the entire Catholic Church must be entirely devoid of child abuse before it can suggest that child abuse should be illegal? If so, how long must a particular church community remain pure of these sins before they are permitted to voice their displeasure of sin? <br /><br />This doesn't seem like a very solid point to me, Mr Cormigan. Have I perhaps missunderstood your comment?Woozlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729345.post-87231645086241046952011-04-28T13:45:50.260-06:002011-04-28T13:45:50.260-06:00Dear Mr. Cormican,
In all fairness to your reader...Dear Mr. Cormican,<br /><br />In all fairness to your readers, my original question to you should have been posted on your blogsite. You have posted your response to me, but not my question. <br /><br />Here is my letter and question to you, to which you responded: <br /><br /><br />Dear Mr. Cormican,<br /> <br />Happy Easter!<br /> <br />I am writing with a question which it is hoped you will answer. On your website you indicate that you have been involved with the Knights of Columbus, thus you make it clear that you are Catholic. <br /> <br />As you know, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops published a voting guide for Catholics recently. (Please see attached document) The Guide indicates that we, as Catholics, are to demand the right to life for even the smallest among us -- the human embryo and the foetus -- since they too belong to the human family, while also providing assistance to pregnant women facing difficulties."<br /> <br />The guide furthermore states, "that a well-formed Christian conscience does not permit one to vote for a political program or an individual law in which the fundamental content of faith and morals is replaced by the introduction of proposals differing from this content or opposing it."<br /> <br />The Liberal Party is clear that it supports abortion. Do you support the Liberal Party's position on abortion? <br /> <br />Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.<br /> <br />Sincerely,<br /> <br />Maureen RemusHVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808365429333160092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729345.post-44898662337631895742011-04-26T20:46:33.972-06:002011-04-26T20:46:33.972-06:00Anon,
