A politician recently asserted that the Pope was not credible where climate change was concerned. The argument was that Catholic Church should leave science in the hands of scientists. Such view holders have often failed to do it. They are cottoning onto every phony scientist to rebut a reality that human operations have huge effects on climate change. This is also another aspect of Catholic views.
Diverse politicians keep on insisting that the Church should concentrate on their core business. This is theology or morality. Whenever politics and the Church tangle, controversies about science theory usually boil over. One main argument features a demand that agriculture policy and other diverse issues must remain beyond the message scope of Church. The Church rebuts with one common message. This is environment or creation are one and same thing. It shoots forth-moral reasoning that everybody should really take better care of creation.
Another argument founders upon economic imperatives on profit that have overwhelmed moral imperatives to take responsible care of creation. A side admonishment on this economic view is that politicians must concentrate on their real vocation, which is the common good. It should not concern making obscene profits from extraction industries.
There five issues Catholics consider non-negotiable. These five are same sex matrimony, abortion, research on stem cells, human cloning, and euthanasia. These five issues run parallel to a number favored by Republican social conservatives. An interesting issue here involves environmental degradation, abject poverty and war are not mentioned. One other commonly unlisted is systemic sin despite apostolic exhortation calling for considering it with the Church having often called for adopting it.
Another bigger problem with the five matters rests on a sense that every Church teaching is non-negotiable. These teachings, whether they are on abortion or poverty, flow from a truth Jesus Christ revealed. Living in a pluralistic world means a negotiation must arise regarding which views may become public policy and which should not. With concentration of the five, certain political thinkers create an impression committing to eradicating poverty and degradation of environment was negotiable. Catholics remain crystal clear about having moral obligation for protection of the environment.
Republicans naturally hold opposite opinions to those taken by Democrats. Catholic Republicans deny and downplay teachings in social aspects. Democrats complicate issues between personal matters and private matters. Again, they demand of governments to leave their private affairs alone. Having an abortion could constitute personal affairs however it is not private. It constitutes game rigging to enforce this. If a matter affects or concerns two people, it stays private no more.
Furthermore, numerous laws forbid an individual from engaging in certain activities with their own bodies. Taking of illicit drugs is disallowed legally. So is taking legal alcoholic beverages before driving a car. Confusion is as common as it is lamentable with both Republican Catholics and Democratic Catholics showing this.
It makes for bizarre observation and noteworthiness that various political groupings diverge from Church teachings in precisely similar ways. This is through acquiring libertarian exemptions. Women taking pro-choice stands ask their bodies to be left alone. Republicans taking pro-business stances ask everyone to keep away from their corporations.
