True or false: the time has come to normalize sin
When is the Catholic Church going to BEGIN talking about abortion, contraception, and homosexual sin?
I pose this provocative question in light of Pope Francis’ concern that the Church has become too focused on these issues at the expense of a more positive, radiant message of the Gospels …
"The right to life is the first among human rights."
My rhetoric can be biting on the subject of Life.
Readers of this blog know how important the Right to Life is to me. You know how utterly abhorrent and discriminatory I find human abortion.
By the same token, I take my lead from my Catholic faith in feeling compassion for the victims of human abortion, which includes the aborted person in the womb; her mother; and her father.

Read MoreShouldn’t we err on the side of life?
Dr. Ashman completely misses the point. The issue does not lie with the scientific understanding of human development. Pro-life physicians and pro-life bioethicists thoroughly understand such development, as does any well-informed person. It is the conclusions they reach that differ materially …

An Iowa City doctor responded forcefully to my essay which appeared in the Des Moines Register last Friday.
Here is Dr. Robert Ashman’s letter which appeared in the morning’s Des Moines Register …
