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.

Rehabilitating Conscience

Rehabilitating Conscience by MSW

Consciences must be well informed, not only by what one thinks God is saying, but by truth. Pope Paul VI chose to ignore the conscience dictates of those who were advising him on the truth and the Church continues to ignore embryology in its contention that Plan B and Ella cause abortion of a life. While one must protect life if there is a possiblity it might be more than potential, the Church has consistently failed to do its homework on whether there is any possibility that a blastocyst has its own soul, rather than continuing to operate under the life energy of its mother, which is indicated because it is developing solely under her genetic instructions. Anyone who uses contraception under the moral certainty that this is the case is doing no wrong, even if the Church is uncertain.
