not ‘fairly’ but ‘clearly’

During a Fox news interview with Archbishop Charles Chaput, discussing Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the Vatican, host Neil Cavuto suggested that the archbishop might see the question of a Catholic politician’s responsibility regarding abortion as a “fairly black-and-white issue.” Not quite, the Denver prelate replied:

“Well it’s not a fairly black and white issue, it’s a clearly black and white issue.”

Asked what he would say to the Speaker if she came to Colorado, Archbishop Chaput answered:

“I’d say to her what I’d say to anyone. If you don’t accept what the Church teaches, you shouldn’t present yourself for Communion, because Communion means you’re in agreement with what the Church teaches.”

That’s [fairly ] clearly clear, wouldn’t you say? It’s also a [fairly] clearly public statement, with which Archbishop Chaput discharges his teaching duty as well as his pastoral responsibility.

And they say that all comparisons are odious.

A new law effetive Feb 1o bans children’s books published before 1985. This “safety” move is also an effective censorship of American history and culture as a CHRISTIAN nation.

From Yahoo News:

Feticide - terminating a pregnancy based on the baby’s gender - is illegal in India, yet the U.N. estimates that 2000 female fetuses are aborted there every day. Barbaric, horrific - and a problem that’s 7000 miles away, right? Wrong.

Now available in the U.S. is the Pink or Blue Early Gender Test ($240), an at-home kit that purports to determine a fetus’s sex from a pinprick’s worth of the mother’s blood as early as seven weeks after conception. Convenient, particularly for couples who “always wanted a girl” or in ethnic communities that value sons over daughters, as the test gives would-be parents ample time to abort if the gender they wind up with is not to their liking.
