A couple of weeks ago, I contact St. Joseph's directly to inquire if this was still their policy. They confirmed that they do not conduct any embryonic stem cell research. Well done!
Sometimes we don't understand teachings of the Church, but it is necessary to still conform to them while we are seeking understanding. God is extremely pleased when we humbly submit to legitimate authority that is in accordance with Church teaching. However, God still wants us to seek answers so that we can understand the reasons for Church teachings. God wants us to use our reason to complement our faith. When we understand a teaching, we are more likely to adhere to it with fervor. In the meantime, until we find that answer, we need to obey.
