Book Synopsis Aquinas, The Zika Virus and the argument for Catholic Abortion by : Timb Hoswell
Download or read book Aquinas, The Zika Virus and the argument for Catholic Abortion written by Timb Hoswell and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ""Aquinas, The Zika Virus and the Argument for Catholic Abortion"" Timb D. Hoswell argues that a return to the doctrine of ensoulment, as evinced by the Middle Church Fathers and enlightened by Aquinas would provide grounds for limited cases of Catholic Abortion within the scope and cosmos of Catholic Philosophy. The doctrine of ensoulment contains the principle that 'only a body fit for rational ensoulment can be rationally ensouled'. Thus in cases of the Zika Virus where the damage is of such severity it results in a privation of the human form, rational ensoulment is impossible, and thus abortion is not an act of murder, nor homicide since the effects of the virus place the foetus beyond rational ensoulment. The book also argues for Catholic reincarnation based on Christ's revelation that John the Baptist is Elijah, as well the possibility of a soul for Artificial Intelligence, clones, alien life forms and other forms of rational being with an embryogenesis different from our own.
Book Synopsis A Brief, Liberal, Catholic Defense of Abortion by : Daniel A. Dombrowski
Download or read book A Brief, Liberal, Catholic Defense of Abortion written by Daniel A. Dombrowski and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic church has always opposed abortion, but -- contrary to popular belief -- not always for the same reasons. This tightly argued, historically grounded study sets out to demonstrate that a "pro-choice" stance, now held by a significant minority of Catholics, is as fully justified by Catholic thought as an anti-abortion view, and may even be more compatible with Catholic tradition than the current opposition to abortion espoused by many Catholics and most Catholic leaders. A Brief, Liberal, Catholic Defense of Abortion argues that the current Catholic anti-abortion stance is justified neither by modern embryology nor by ancient church teachings. Combining up-to-date information on fetal development with a thorough grasp of the works of the church's early thinkers, Daniel A. Dombrowski and Robert Deltete expose crucial contradictions between the early and the modern church's views of abortion. Returning to the writings of two pillars of early Christian thought, Sts. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, the authors show that abortion was originally condemned by the church on the grounds of perversity, since it nullified the only permissible reason for sexual relations: procreation. Only in more recent times has the view arisen of abortion as indefensible on the ontological grounds that human personhood begins at the moment of conception. The authors demonstrate that the early church's view of fetal development -- delayed hominization, in which the fetus is endowed with a human soul only when it achieves a physical human body -- is diametrically opposed to the current anti-abortion stance. In fact, the authors show, the insistence on immediate hominization that provides thefoundation for the current "pro-life" view stems from two seventeenth-century scientific misconceptions -- preformationism and the homunculus -- that have since been thoroughly discredited. By considering the history of Catholic thought in its relation to the history of science, Dombrowski and Deltete bring a new level of detail and focus to the abortion debate. Their thoughtful, measured argument provides a fresh perspective that will benefit participants on all sides of the controversy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "He is not a murderer who brings about abortion before the soul is in the body" said Roman Catholic canon law for over eight hundred years, until 1917 when Pope Benedict XV approved a revised code of canon law. - From the book What began as an investigation into why one pope said an abortion was not murder led to the long history of popes who said so, and to an amazing consequence of that history which persists even today. From review in Conscience, the Newsjournal of Catholic Opinion, Vol. XXXII - No. 1 2011 "Author John McCloskey chronicles his journey to find truth behind the story of Pope Innocent III, who in the early 13th century declared early abortion was not murder. McCloskey's research regarding delayed versus immediate ensoulment, dogmatic language and the search for definitive answers about papal decrees regarding abortion encourages readers to read further."

Book Synopsis The Church and Abortion by : George Dennis O'Brien
Download or read book The Church and Abortion written by George Dennis O'Brien and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative book takes a critical look at what is increasingly viewed as the central political issue for Catholics—abortion. From pro-choice politicians being denied communion to Democrats being called "the party of death," for some of the most vocal Catholic leaders, the abortion issue often trumps all others. The author, a practicing Catholic who is against abortion in principle, believes the Church is on the wrong course with this issue, with grievous results for the Church and American society more broadly. He gives a brief history of abortion legislation, then explores the issue from legal, moral, and Christian perspectives, presenting compelling reasons why Church leaders and Catholics should stop trying to overturn Roe v. Wade and reconsider the issue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entering the moral worlds of Catholicism, the evangelical Protestantism of the Operation Rescue movement, feminism, and the classical liberalism expressed in modern medicine, Beyond Pro-Life and Pro-Choice brilliantly illuminates the little-understood religious and philosophical aspects of the abortion issue. Rudy reveals how each community's beliefs about abortion are connected to its deeply held values and concerns, and offers an alternative that would obviate the unproductive, divisive, and sometimes violent abortion debate we have today.

Download or read book Good Catholics written by Patricia Miller and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of a fifty-year struggle to assert the moral legitimacy of a pro-choice position in the Catholic Church, as well as the concurrent efforts of the Catholic hierarchy to suppress abortion dissent and to translate Catholic doctrine on sexuality into law. Millertells a history of protest and persecution, which demonstrates the influence that the conflict over abortion in the Catholic Church has had not only on the church but also on U.S. politics. The book addresses many of today's questions about the separation of church and state, including what concessions society should make in public policy to matters of religious doctrine, such as the Catholic ban on contraception.
Book Synopsis Abolishing Abortion by : Frank Pavone
Download or read book Abolishing Abortion written by Frank Pavone and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The struggle against abortion in our nation has been going on a long time. Sometimes it seems like an evil that will never go away. People want to get involved in the fight, but it feels futile, and increasingly the culture tells Christians to stay out of politics. Longtime activist Rev. Frank Pavone counters this frustrated mindset with challenge, encouragement, plain facts, and a healthy dose of strategy. He explores biblical, moral, historical, and legal reasons Christians belong in the public square and challenges both churches and individual Christians to full engagement. Pavone argues convincingly that the battle against abortion not only can be won, but must be won. The soul of our nation depends on it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines changing views of procreation and fetal development throughout the history of the Christian tradition. This is the first comprehensive study of cultural perceptions of pregnancy, an area of scholarship that been understudied in the past. Pregnancy holds a central place in Christian ritual, iconography, and theology, including the dogma of the incarnation and the cult of Virgin Mary. This book provides a broad introduction to the attitudes and ideas within Western Christian communities by focusing on four periods of transition: Antiquity, the Enlightenment, modernity, and the present day. It lays the groundwork for further study of the interactions between biological models, cultural preconceptions, and religious beliefs.
