It is really helpful for me keep it up. - Rajeev Tue, 06 Oct 2009 05:32:44 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/accommodation.html#comment-297 Fr Schall thank you for your tireless witness. You're beacon whose light reaches over here to Australia. Thank you - Martin Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:56:07 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/accommodation.html#comment-296 >>So a politician or judge is confronted with two evils.Unless he's Earl Warren or Anthony Kennedy, who are not Father Schall's favorites (or mine). Jurisprudence, to be sure, but it was Warren who said his rulings were based on "is it fair" -- and that is the legislature's task, not the judge's. And, although pols would tell us otherwise, there are always more choices than one of two evils (or quitting). Jesse Helms just did the right thing. - Chris Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:55:48 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/accommodation.html#comment-272 I agree with LWS. Prayer would be the most powerful witness in this social context. Pray for the lives of the unborn day in and day out, publicly and privately. We'll probably be surprised what turns up. - Acroamatic Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:09:29 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/accommodation.html#comment-267 Isn't it fascinating how the Jews lament that Pius XII did too little too late? When the Pope and bishops do too little too late on abortion, no one raises an eyebrow. Great article Fr. Schall. Bishops: Who appointed them? Why haven't the weak sisters been removed? - William H. Phelan Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:52:37 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/accommodation.html#comment-265 Fr. Schall, it's not clear to me what you're saying here. In any case, I think people need to be woken up to the fact that it's not just "life issues" that are at stake today. It's not like the modernist left both in and outside the Church are only mistaken about "life issues" The life issues simply show up the degeneracy and evil of their thought in a particularly stark way. But they are literally wrong about everything--and the man who can't defend his positions by reason will do so by force. - James the Least Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:51:21 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/accommodation.html#comment-264 I, for one, believe the Church's teaching that life issues must come first. What good is it to gain a world filled with "social justice," but lose our soul? I am through with accommodationist and pragmatists, and propose that "orthodox" Catholics join forces with Evangelicals to form a Social Conservative\" party. We may not win, but at least we will bear honest witness. - John Thompson Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:49:48 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/accommodation.html#comment-263 Prayers for an end to abortion offered after every Mass (as they were offered for an end to communism) will place this issue where it belongs - in God's hands. If the bishops of the Catholic Church cannot agree, to whom shall we turn? To Him who has the words of everylasting life. - LWS Thu, 20 Nov 2008 07:36:14 +0100
