But the modernistic dissent doesn’t end at abortion. The weak response on the pro-life issue is symptomatic of the widespread reluctance to abide by and preach rudimentary Catholic philosophical beliefs, such as:
• The ends do not justify the means.
• The order of creation (e.g. men and women are complementary).
• The hierarchy of truths.
• The principal of non-contradiction.
• Natural Truth can be known by reason alone.
• The intrinsic evil of certain acts, and how they must always be rejected.
This has resulted in church elites distorting Catholic moral doctrine and sanctioning things like:
• Inductions for post-viability fetuses who are terminally ill.
• Legal recognition for same-sex unions.
• Leaving the issue of contraception up to “one’s own conscience.”
• Treating issues like the environment and poverty as equally important
to fetal rights.
