Once again, the Roman Catholic church has made stupid…

 

Yes, the Roman Catholic church is completely out of touch with reality. 

Read this.

In sum, a girl was raped repeatedly by her stepfather and became pregnant with twins.  After a failed intervention by the Roman Catholic church, her mother and doctors succeeded in having the pregnancy aborted.  The church, which vehemently opposes abortions, will now excommunicate the mother and doctors.

The girl is 9 years old. 

The church, stating that “the law of God was above any human law,” obviously agreed that the child was too die because there is a no way a 9 year old can carry a pregnancy, especially twins.   Wait … doesn’t that mean that the church sanctions murder?  By opposing an abortion of a 9 year old, they were, in fact, ready to let her die.  Isn’t the 5th Roman Catholic commandment “Thou shall not kill,” or something to that effect (I’m paraphrasing here)?

Really, if I was the mother or the doctors, would I care that a religious order which has routinely ostracized the masses and made dozens of boneheaded declarations in the past years, had excommunicated me?  No I wouldn’t, and I hope they don’t.

By the way, anyone who agrees with the church on this is wrong and shouldn’t bother responding.
