 Allowing people to choose that they don't wish to live creates a circumstance in which death itself comes to be viewed as a 'good,' so you have a 'right to die,' ... And then we move quite logically to asking about the person who is not in a position to request this 'good' called death. |
| human nature being what it is, those who want to evade the clear statement of the instruction will have ample opportunities to seek loopholes, evasions and rationalizations. |
| I became a Catholic in order to be more fully the Christian I was as a Lutheran, and that is what has happened. |
| I think the barbarity of the English language currently used in the liturgy is cause enough for sorrow without further fiddling in terms of feminist inclusiveness. |
| If a church offers no truth that is not available in the general culture - in, for instance, the editorials of the New York Times or, for that matter, of National Review - there is not much reason to pay it attention. |
| In legal parlance, that is called 'the rational person test,' ... That's where somebody else says, 'Even though we have no idea what this person would want in this circumstance in which they cannot themselves tell us what they want, a 'rational' person -- meaning, myself -- in that circumstance would want to die.'

| It's very devious and insidious to see how -- once one permits a departure from the notion of the inherent good of life and the responsibilities that are owed to life -- that then it becomes very difficult to answer the question, 'Why not kill a person?' ... People don't like to have the comparison made because it rightly makes all of us very uneasy, but there are some very striking analogies to what is happening now among us here in the United States and the Third Reich, Nazi Germany. |
| My eyes are wide open to the conflicts within the Church, but I don't think you can call it schism. |
| On such questions, the church has clearly defined positions, |
| One example is Roe v. Wade. The lethal logic of Roe v. Wade is that nobody has rights that we are bound to respect if they cannot effectively assert those rights. They are at the mercy and the discretion of those who can effectively assert their rights. We're not talking simply about the unborn, we're talking about the aged, the radically handicapped, the deformed. |
| Religion as a human phenomenon is as riddled through with potential for both good and evil as any other phenomenon. |
| Socialism is the religion people get when they lose their religion |
