Saving **both **is important. Yes, saving the unborn is, spiritually-speaking, on a higher plane, but everybody has their own ministry. Some advocate for the unborn. Some advocate for animals. Both are necessary and correct.
Exactly! We are called to different things/works.
Exactly!
Exactly!
But this is not the point of this thread.

Lol.
Why please? If you choose to start a thread and/or post in a public forum, you should expect people to respond, not all in line with your views. I have not been rude or uncharitable.
While Severus68 and I rarely agree on anything, and certainly not on this topic, Severus68 is nothing if not polite, on topic, and a good participant in a discussion. Way more than Severus67 ever was!
Thanks HD. Yes, that Severus67!While Severus68 and I rarely agree on anything, and certainly not on this topic, Severus68 is nothing if not polite, on topic, and a good participant in a discussion. Way more than Severus67 ever was!
This is an important clarification. Mother Teresa never said no one should put in a park until every poor person was fed. After all, the children need us to make sure there will be eagles for them, too, and parks. The greater and the lesser that are both of true value do not need to be in conflict. No, the point was that there is an objective standard of greater and lesser.
I would agree with this. Even in objecting that my tone in an earlier post could be taken as condescending, you were making an important point and doing it without any disrespect towards me. It is common to have to refine what is meant when making points and counterpoints, lest in clearing up one misunderstanding we unintentionally create several more!

Hey, come on, be more charitable!

This is a battle that we can choose not pick.Hi everyone,
What would be the right thing to do when a dog owner keeps telling you, directly or indirectly, that her dog is just like your baby. In other words, when you say, for instance, “my baby keeps waking up due to bad dreams and then I have to rock/ feed/soothe him” and you get told back, " I never go to my dog when he cries due to a bad dream, he usually soothes himself".
Do you ignore it?
Do you look back in utter shock?
Do you say pointedly " babies are not the same as pets?
Do you stay silent and let the silly statement remain in the room for everyone to also feel the silliness of it?
What should one do/ say?
Ps: to all pet owners, don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against them. I love animals but they have their own place and that is not the same as a baby’s.
Really? Lol.
Thank you. I appreciate this.
De nada…you’re a good presence here!
