MGB:_There are some health care procedures, like voluntary abortion, which individual health workers should be able to opt out of, although usually this is not an issue because most hospitals don’t offer such services. It is less clear when the abortion is medically necessary to save the mother or preserve her health because the baby is destined to be stillborn. In an emergency, no one should put their moral scruples ahead of their patient’s survival, although most doctors will allow an objector to step out without reprisal. This issue is much more about symbolism than actual events. As birth control, including Plan B, I don’t think a Pharmacist who does not understand what happens at Gastrulation should be working.
There are two Churchill movies from the past year. The first was a hit job, the second hagiography. I simply passed on seing either. I put reading Chaput and Pio Nono stories on the same list. I will look at pieces about the Jews, although while I grant that the Holocaust and the Church’s anti-semetism is a good reason for Israle to exist, it provides no excuse to making it an Aparthied state. That the Polish government is scratching the same fascist impuse of denialism for their involvement in the camps is similarly disgusting.
Libertarianism is long baptized among the reactionaries within the Catholic Church, whether it be among pro-lifers or capitalists. The social libertarians never seem to be invited to the Busch School or covered in the Register. Of course the Kochs have money and get benefits for it. The benefits of social liberty go to everyone, regardless of wealth. Whatever the Kochs are currently buying, that is where the next asset bubble will be. No matter how much it looks good, don’t buy it.
Grandparents are important, especially when a marriage fails and the parent with children needs refuge. On the other hand, inlaws are notorious for breaking up the marriages of their children. I have a bit of personal experience in this, as do my ex-wife’s siblings. Our Lord even mentioned breakingn away from families of origin when he spoke about divorce, so this is not a recent thing.
