Personal Beliefs and the GMC

The basic problem with the GMC consultation is that it asks doctors to refer women who want abortion to other doctors in some circumstances. This is formal cooperation as understood in Cathology moral theology

Well done Dawkins

For pointing out the obvious during his debate with Cardinal Pell. If there is no Adam and Eve, there is no original sin. Pope Pius XII said as much in Humani Generis.

Dawkins does it again

Well done Dawkins to remind us that liberal Christians are not Christians at all. They need to either convert or leave.

Brilliant time for catechesis

Marriage as something which transcends religion. Something to do with human nature, natural law. A thing that prevents two men getting married, even if the law of the land says otherwise.

I agree with Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins believes that those who refuse to accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God are not Christians even if they claim they are. The liberal Christian Giles Fraser thinks that People can make up their own form of Christianity and still call themselves Christian.
I agree with Dawkins. Christianity is revealed religion or it is nothing.

On David and Jonathan

Theirs was a friendship based on self-sacrifice. It is the highest form of friendship for Jonathan was sacrificing his right to kingship for the sake of justice. No wonder St Aelred had so much regard for this friendship. For Aelred, friendship is a love that is austere and demanding. He draws on images of courtship and marriage to describe friendship for this was a time when his great fellow Cistercian St Bernard had written a commentary on The Song of Songs.
For St Anselm, the love of friendship can never be sensual. Indeed he condemned homosexual activities in the royal court.
Remarkably enough, some believe the love of St Basil and St Gregory Nazianzus to be sensual. Basil said of monks who molest men " Let them be whipped in public..." and Gregory ordered the works of Sappho to be burned, calling her a "lewd nymphomaniac."
Why did Joan of Arc wear men's clothes? Why did Mother Julian use a male name ? Whatever the answer it is not rooted in sensuality.

Yet 98% of UK abortions are on grounds of improving mental health.
This last statement presumably is no longer evidence based medicine?
