This blog started out as a companion piece to my book, Musings from the Christian Left (excerpts of which can be found in the July 2004 link) and to support a planned radio show. Now, its simply a long term writing project from a Christian Left Libertarian perspective (meaning I often argue for liberty within the (Catholic) Church, rather than liberty because the church takes care of a conservative view of morality.

The Veep at the Vatican

The Veep at the Vatican by Michael Sean Winters

My response: I disagree. Biden is not wrong and I hope he explained the difference between supporting abortion and not using the criminal law to regulate it in American Society. There was never an "abortion law" enacted and in a society that grants equal protection to all individuals, making a fetus an individual in the first trimester is so legally problematic that the pro-life movement does not attempt it. Until they do attempt it, there is nothing for pro-choice Catholic (or non-Catholic politicians) to oppose. You cannot say we are wrong for opposing non-existent legilation (and neither can the Pope). Hopefully, Biden explained this. One more thing, John the Divine was Jesus best friend, not Peter.
