Among all the crimes which can be committed against life, procured abortion has characteristics making it particularly serious and deplorable. The Second Vatican Council defines abortion, together with infanticide, as an "unspeakable crime"
Pope John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae
For two and a half hours Linda witnessed for Life, incarnating Christ's love for unborn babies before an uncaring and blind Canadian nation, which is drowning in a cesspool of death. Eventually she was arrested after gently and lovingly walking to and fro outside the baby-killing horror house, carrying her sign: "Why Mom, when I have so much love to give"?
The pretext for Linda's arrest was her "violation" of the non-juridical "bubble zone law", a caricature of true law. Pope John XXIII, referenced by John Paul II, wrote in Pacem in Terris: "Authority is a postulate of the moral order and derives from God. Consequently, laws and decrees enacted in contravention of the moral order, and hence of the divine will, can have no binding force in conscience...; indeed, the passing of such laws undermines the very nature of authority and results in shameful abuse".
The "bubble zone law" is thus the most shameful abuse imaginable in that it violates the moral order to the highest degree: the facilitation of the murder of the innocent.

We believe in a good argument. That means NO ad hominem attacks. This also includes Pope Francis. Further, referring to him by any other name, may or may not indicate a schismatic attitude, and given the confusion in the Church your comment will NOT be published. Comments are those of the commentators and not those of this blog. You may use a pseudonym... we do... Behave like a guest in our living room and you will be fine.
