Kaveny v. Donatists
Kaveny v. Donatists by MSW. MGB: The point is valid that the contraception teachings in the Church do seem to be about identity politics and papal authority rather than on natural law as it is objectively defined by those who are not teaching the Magisterium. Natural law should be accessible to all who use reason. As long as the bishops believe they have a superior and infallible facility with it, they are resorting to authority and not reason. Their authority applies only to Catholics and is therefore relativistic rather than absolute. The natural sciences show that before gastrulation, blasatocysts operate using only maternal DNA for control of development. If the higher reality is reflected in the lower reality, this must mean that ensoulment has not occurred - so endng the life of a blastocyst or morella is not abortion. Period. The extent to which the Church cannot see that is the extent to which it is in error, with its teaching not even applying to Catholics because it is simply wrong.
