Links for 08/28/15 | National Catholic Reporter

Links for 08/28/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Talk to a Catholic hospital O.B. about preserving fetal parts for tissue donation or analysis after a later term miscarriage and they will say the same thing, and as casually, if over a glass of wine and dinner.  I think an apology is in order from the pro-life Catholic press.  I want video.



To be clear, Trump is going after the Huckabee crowd of right-wing southern culturally conservative (PC for racialist) Evangelicals.  There are plenty of Evangelicals who are not all of those things.  Some support Sanders.



MSW's protege' is correct that Francis is not a Relativist in the terms Benedict uses, although I would call them both relativistic because the Magisterium is nothing if not a skewed version of natural law applicable to one group (rather than everyone).  That is the textbook definition of relativism.  Indeed, any time a group gets together and agrees on something, it applies to the group.  Universal knowledge does not need authority.  Once you add authority, you have relativism in reference to that authority - which has no affect on those who do not recognize the authority.
