Abortion is the insurance against that fate worse than death which is called a family. Our no-fault insurance has removed our responsibility for car accidents, and no-fault divorce has removed our responsibility for marriage accidents why should abortion not be our no-fault sexual insurance policy that removes our responsibility for sex accidents?

The Inquisition confused sin with sinners and judged both. Modern Americans make the same mistake but judge neither.

Trusting God's grace means trusting God's love for us rather than our love for God. [...] Therefore our prayers should consist mainly of rousing our awareness of God's love for us rather than trying to rouse God's awareness of our love for him, like the priests of Baal on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:26-29).

We sin because we see sin as a bargain. We unconsciously calculate that it’s worth it, that it pays.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The key to faith is love. We believe only if we love. Trust is the middle term only if we love, do we trust and only if we trust, do we believe.

Every blade of grass is a blade of grace, a grace note in God's single Song. Nature is not blind and dumb. Nature is eloquent. Human science is blind and dumb if it does not hear this eloquence.
