Be careful with wording because you won’t understand what you are reading, or how you are conveying your message. One they that is very obvious in reading and interpreting documents of the Church is that one word, or that Catholic definition of a word, can entirely change entirely the meaning of the discussion.
So, you want me to be careful with wording because I won’t understand what I am reading. That is an interesting thought. In fact I understand as do you prior to any writing and reading of what is written is only a conveyance of thinking that is percieved by the reader and interptreted by them.
Conveyance of a message is communication. It is never clear what is percieved and that is why questions are asked.
An obviously one pertains to divorce. The interpretation of one single word is why Protestants can divorce for adultery and Catholics cannot.
An obviously one pertains to divorce? Taking heed from your caution about words, I have no idea what you are saying.
An obvious one pertains to divorce. Even this creates confusion. Would you mean…
An obvious example of wording?
“The interpretation of a single word is why Protestants can divorce for Adultery and Catholics cannot.”…I have no idea what this means. What word? What is it you are trying to say here. Let me give you an example…
Sins against Chastity include
Adultery
Maturbation
Homosexuality
Prostitution
Catholics oppose sins against Chasity. Recognizing that Homosexuality is a sin against Chastity, no Catholic in their right mind would support Homosexuals adopting. See how clear this is.
I am utterly surprised you do not know this. This particular issue has been discussed on the forum ad naseum, and the sources can be found in about 10 milliseconds using google. Here’s one such source.
If you do further research, you will also find that Plan B seems to be preferred, because in the rare case that the woman shows no signs of ovulation yet ovulates, and the egg is fertilized, there is a strong likelihood she will get pregnant. You can argue the point, but it is not me opinion you will be arguing with, but rather that of the USCCB.
You assumed too much and did not ask a question. Your “utter” would be surprised to learn that I had to think this through and here are my thoughts…
Compassionate and understanding care should be given to a person who is the victim of sexual assault. Health care providers should cooperate with law enforcement officials and offer the person psychological and spiritual support as well as accurate medical information. A female who has been raped should be able to defend herself against a potential conception from the sexual assault. If, after appropriate testing, there is no evidence that conception has occurred already, she may be treated with medications that would prevent ovulation, sperm capacitation, or fertilization. It is not permissible, however, to initiate or to recommend treatments that have as their purpose or direct effect the removal, destruction, or interference with the implantation of a fertilized ovum.19
It is recommended that a sexually assaulted woman be advised of the ethical restrictions that prevent Catholic hospitals from using abortifacient procedures; cf. Pennsylvania Catholic Conference, “Guidelines for Catholic Hospitals Treating Victims of Sexual Assault,” Origins 22 (1993): 810.
Since you did not ask a question as to what it was I wanted to know and assumed you knew what I wanted to know and did not explain it further…here is what I was thinking…
Plan B seems to be preferred, because in the rare case that the woman shows no signs of ovulation yet ovulates, and the egg is fertilized, there is a strong likelihood she will get pregnant.
This did not make sense to me. “In the rare case that the woman shows no signs of ovulation”…as a Physician I thought…how do you know when you ovulate? and next you say…“and the egg is fertilized”…how do we know the egg is fertilized? and when do we know based on the event, in other words how sensitive are tests…so
A fertilized egg must implant before a pregnancy test will be positive…
Blood pregnancy test is positive 2-3 days after implantation.
Which means that in the case of rape, a woman may have ovulated, the egg may have been fertilized and even implanted, however if the test is done 1 day after implantation then the test is negative. So, this means that the Church allows for rape victims access to whatver means to prevent pregancy if the test is negative…with the sensitity of the test being only within the 2-3 days of implantation…if it happens that this test improves in sensitivity and can be positive the moment of fertilization then the rules for the rape victim will change in terms of administering anything.
I suggest you put the same effort into your communication as you may put into puching and blocking.
Ok…
