Barron's appointment by Pope Francis as auxiliary bishop of L.A.? I know he will continue with his new media evangelization, and Archbishop Gomez can surely use Fr. Barron in this diocese, but what about the seminarians in Mundelein? Could this be a move to appoint somebody less orthodox, or is this worry unwarranted? Until now I was simply excited by the news, an unmitigated joy, but then I realized that Chicago's new archbishop Cupich is cut from a different cloth than Cardinal Francis George. Any thoughts from anyone familiar with church politics?Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03993048824594772782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-47483786673832765802015-07-24T04:21:13.938-07:002015-07-24T04:21:13.938-07:00No, I know, you're right.

But I see the value in at least asking, like you do, to get other readers thinking. <br /><br />The key with her is to get her to define "baby" and then work backwards. I know it won't probably happen, but that would be the logical start. Define and then analyze. Meantime, I'll be printing up bumper stickers, "Calibrate Your Thoughts" lol no one would get it, but still...

It has no potential to be anything else, biologically. It's not going to metabolize into something else.<br /><br />If she re-engages, I'd pin her to her own methodology. <br /><br />What does she calibrate to? Meaning, if she works in a lab like you mentioned she does, she should be familiar with some type of calibration/measurement methodology (esp if it's an electronics lab or something very technical involved in the manufacturing of a product), and she should know about the reality that all technical work progresses from the nominal. Which means you don't define the thing on your own, you follow the design of the part or the specs of the part that show what the final product will be. You don’t reassign meaning to it in stage 1. <br /><br />Why doesn’t she apply her own scientific methodology to the reality of embryo=baby?Nubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972118374098863290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-44650496917295137712015-07-23T13:26:39.794-07:002015-07-23T13:26:39.794-07:00Yes, we politely but firmly challenged her until s...Yes, we politely but firmly challenged her until she just said she was done (without answering) because she said we were just "going round and round".

That literally was her criteria. Looks. And, she said since it's legal to abort children, why not use those organs instead of let them go to waste? <br /><br />You can imagine. <br /><br />JoAnna and I and Nicole engaged her for a while. Hopefully, there were lurkers. It was the most bizarre convo. <br /><br />8 billion years? Nah....

No argument of "it's just tissue", no argument of "gestational age makes it human", no argument of "location makes it human, outside the womb only", no argument of "size makes it human", as the tiny hearts are still human hearts and the tiny livers, still human livers. No argument. Just God's light pouring into the minds of those who will choose to understand.<br /><br />On a positive note, and relating to your comment on social relationships, I've had 2 unexpected ‘divine appointments’ recently with some people IRL (one openly anti-religious). Nothing religious was even remotely mentioned in the chat I had with the anti-religious person, but something has intrigued her pertaining to our relationship, so I will keep the door open, always. And she will see more of what she's already commented on about me personally... and that will open the door to God, cuz if she's interested in how I live and how I consider things, then she's bound to meet Him sooner than later. He's all over it. Shazam!

Once people noticed that opinion leaders and their own friends changed their views, they did so too, for fear of being viewed as "odd", unloving, on the side of "reactionary weirdos". More than anything, we don't want to threaten our social relationships.<br /><br />Something like that must be at work here too. "Right-thinking people" defend a woman's right to choose. Oh, and btw, "do the haters (i.e. us) really want to go back to back-alley abortions? Is that their goal?" People only have the strength to question their milieu's axioms if they are either very self-confident, or simply can't bear the coldness (veiled as love) anymore. Those who know that Jesus Christ, the living God, died on the Cross for them, for their sins, and was resurrected so that they may live, know that they will be laughed at, cast aside, persecuted. But what sweetness they find in the embrace of the Father, Who always waits for His children to come home, and in the loving community of all who love Life Himself.Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03993048824594772782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-7545724850189739322015-07-22T06:23:19.384-07:002015-07-22T06:23:19.384-07:00It’s beyond sicko.
The babies are only good in so ...It’s beyond sicko.<br />The babies are only good in so far as they can be used as objects. It is evidence that there's a market for everything and anything, no matter which pit of hell it springs from. <br /><br />And, to me, it’s not even about “pro-life” vs. “pro-choice” movements gaining or losing momentum based on how they obtained the info or edited anything, etc., like I see blowing up in other comboxes. <br /><br />It’s not about pro-lifers denying any rights to “healthcare”, puhleeze. Like that’s what pro-life people are all about -- enough with the stupidity. It’s about people opening their sealed eyes to evil and seeing it <i>for what it is</i>. It’s not about recruits, it’s about waking up and smelling the coffee, maybe for the first time.<br /><br />What it really illustrates at the end of the day is that human beings are sick in the head and heart, and we all need to be saved from our own grotesque-ness (sin and faults) because we sure as hell can’t stop to save ourselves. That's basically the bottom line. <br /><br />Anyone taking even casual field notes on this disgusting PP operation and these video conversations should all be coming away with that key observation as <i>the</i> bolded bullet point. No soft matrix expressions of abortion defense or wordsmithing required to come away with this obvious truth.<br /><br />“My people perish for lack of knowledge.” – Hosea 4:6<br />Well, now you know, people.
