For the first one thousand eight hundred years of church history the hungry and naked ones who needed to be attended to (the "brethren" of Judge Jesus and his "least ones") were universally understood to be Christians. Not that there's anything wrong with helping others --- it's just that there is no mandate in the gospel for a generalized philanthropy. ---- G.

It's as if we say sex, unlike food, water and oxygen, is something we simply must have. And AIDS? Well, that's just you know. And babies? That's not even a reasonable consequence. Thus when reality crashes into the narrative, we have to hear all manner of babbling on about rubbish. But that we throw over our modern sex and drugs culture? That's like saying we should go back to churning our own butter. At least in the reactions from almost all to the Left, and not a few to the Right.

Most have avoided saying anything positive about it. Yes, he then goes and begins regurgitating various standard leftwing pro-abortion talking points. But at least he said the decision was good. That's a far sight better than I've seen from many "New Prolife Catholics".
