Etter valget av en katolske visepresidentkandidat som er for fri abort, har ogs\u00e5 den katolske Speaker of the House of Representatives (kan sammenlignes delvis med norsk Stortingspresident) uttalt seg om at katolske politikere her m\u00e5 f\u00f8lge sin egen samvittighet, «siden Kirkens l\u00e6re om abort ganske uklar og ny». Denne uttalsen har f\u00f8rt til sv\u00e6rt mange og sterke reaksjoner, faktisk har den amerkanske bispekonferansen<\/a> offisielt sagt f\u00f8lgende:<\/p>\n

Cardinal Justin F. Rigali, chairman of the U.S. Bishops\u2019 Committee on Pro-Life Activities, and Bishop William E. Lori, chairman of the U.S. Bishops\u2019 Committee on Doctrine, have issued the following statement:<\/p>\n

In the course of a \u201cMeet the Press\u201d interview on abortion and other public issues on August 24, 2008, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi misrepresented<\/strong> the history and nature of the authentic teaching of the Catholic Church against abortion.<\/p>\n

The Church has always taught that human life deserves respect from its very beginning and that procured abortion is a grave moral evil. In the Middle Ages, uninformed and inadequate theories about embryology led some theologians to speculate that specifically human life capable of receiving an immortal soul may not exist until a few weeks into pregnancy. While in canon law these theories led to a distinction in penalties between very early and later abortions, the Church\u2019s moral teaching never justified or permitted abortion at any stage of development.<\/p>\n

These mistaken biological theories became obsolete over 150 years ago when scientists discovered that a new human individual comes into being from the union of sperm and egg at fertilization. In keeping with this modern understanding, the Church has long taught that from the time of conception (fertilization), each member of the human species must be given the full respect due to a human person, beginning with respect for the fundamental right to life. <\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

Her er selve intervjuet med (House Speaker) Nancy Pelosi
\n(She) was on Meet the Press, speaking with Tom Brokaw. Among other things, she said:<\/p>\n

MR. BROKAW: Senator Obama saying the question of when life begins is above his pay grade, whether you\u2019re looking at it scientifically or theologically. If he were to come to you and say, \u201cHelp me out here, Madame Speaker. When does life begin?\u201d what would you tell him?<\/p>\n

REP. PELOSI: I would say that as an ardent, practicing Catholic, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time. And what I know is, over the centuries, the doctors of the church have not been able to make that definition. And Senator\u2013St. Augustine said at three months. We don\u2019t know. The point is, is that it shouldn\u2019t have an impact on the woman\u2019s right to choose. Roe v. Wade talks about very clear definitions of when the child\u2013first trimester, certain considerations; second trimester; not so third trimester. There\u2019s very clear distinctions. This isn\u2019t about abortion on demand, it\u2019s about a careful, careful consideration of all factors and\u2013to\u2013that a woman has to make with her doctor and her god. And so I don\u2019t think anybody can tell you when life begins, human life begins. As I say, the Catholic Church for centuries has been discussing this, and there are those who\u2019ve decided\u2026<\/p>\n

MR. BROKAW: The Catholic Church at the moment feels very strongly that it\u2026<\/p>\n

REP. PELOSI: I understand that.<\/p>\n

MR. BROKAW: \u2026begins at the point of conception.<\/p>\n

REP. PELOSI: I understand. And this is like maybe 50 years or something like that. So again, over the history of the church, this is an issue of controversy. … <\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

Sv\u00e6rt mange har uttalt seg sterkt og tydelig om dette. Les mer bl.a. HER<\/a> og HER<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Erkebiskop Wuerl i Washington DC, sier bl.a.:
\nWe respect the right of elected officials such as Speaker Pelosi to address matters of public policy that are before them, but the interpretation of Catholic faith has rightfully been entrusted to the Catholic bishops. Given this responsibility to teach, it is important to make this correction for the record.<\/p>\n

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is clear: the current teaching of the Catholic Church on human life and abortion is the same teaching as it was 2,000 years ago.<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
