Katrina has reminded us that Christian morality should be about responding to the wretched and loving the unlovable—not about other people’s sex lives.

It is heartening to see that Miss Henneberger is able to see the contradictions of the Republican party line. There is more to being pro-life than being opposed to abortion. If only she could come to see that being opposed to intrinsic evil is at least a necessary starting point, then maybe we could build a correctly informed political activism.
Maybe she could also come to understand that the acceptance of contraception is point one in establishing the case that "We as a nation—a proudly, increasingly loudly Christian nation—have somehow convinced ourselves that the selfish choice is usually the moral one, too." When we say no to fecundity, we forget that the poor are children of God.
Will someone please point out to me those people that think that all there is to being Catholic is to be pro-life? Everyone talks about these people, but I've never seen one person who says, "All there is to being Catholic is to be pro-life." I think this is just a canard devised by those who think that all there is to being Catholic is to be pro-life and pro-welfare state.
