Who Is Pro-Life?

Emmanuel Charles McCarthy

As I read the triumphant headlines in the newspapers day after day–U.S. Pounds Iraq from Air”–and saw the pictures of missiles streaking into Iraq, I could not help but hear the silent screams of all the little Iraqi children in utero who were having their lives ripped from them…Yet the silence on this matter of abortions induced by war–silence in the church, in pro-life circles, and in peace and justice efforts–is thunderous.

It is as if abortion for saving a person’s reputation is absolutely evil; abortion for saving a family’s economic life is absolutely evil; abortion for saving a person’s job is absolutely evil; abortion for saving a person from what he or she perceives to be an intolerable personal future is absolutely evil, but abortion to save oil fields for the present and future control and profit of American and British oil interests or to save the world from non-existent weapons of mass destruction or from a local dictator is morally permissible! It is as if patriotic earplugs have been discreetly employed by pro-lifers in order to not hear what they have been telling others to listen to for over thirty years–the silent screams.

I’ve been in a bit of a lull in my theological reading lately.. nothing was getting me going as it usually does.. but today i’ve been reading about the lives of the saints.. it began by finishing up my underground seminary readings that involves primary sources on the 2nd century maryters.. and now i’m finishing up a chapter on st. francis of assisi.. its amazing.

“the truth of faith is made good in the living of it or not at all”

“in or near the community there appear from time to time singular or striking lives, the lives of persons who embody the convictions of the community, but in a new way; who share the vision of the community, but with new scope or power; who exhibit the style of the community, but with significant differences. It is plain that the example of these lives may serve to disclose and perhaps to correct or enlarge the community’s moral vision, at the same time arousing impotent wills within the community to a better fullfilment of the vision already acquired”
