A politician not long ago said the Pope hold no credibility where change in climate features. An argument is Catholic Church must leave science where it belongs, with scientists. These view holders have themselves failed to leave up to this stand. They cotton upon each phony scientist in rebutting human operations contribute immensely to change in climate. This another aspect regarding Catholic views.
Many a politician has asked the Church to do what they do best. This is morality and theology. Every time church and politics tangle, controversy often arises about scientific theories. An argument is that agriculture policy or such issues should remain outside main Church message scope. Church rebuttal often features a common message. This is that environment is also creation. It sets forth a moral reason that people should make a better job of caring for creation than achieved thus far.
Another argument talks about economic priorities concentrating on profit has overwhelmed moral necessities that cover taking good care of creation and the environment. In addition to this admonishment in regard to economic views is a demand that politicians keep to their own core vocation, the common good. Politicians should not take too much concern with matters that end up making obscene profits in mineral extraction industries.
There are five matters considered non-negotiable by Catholics. These are abortion, same sex marriage, euthanasia, human cloning, and stem cell research. These five matters are parallel to those forwarded by social conservative Republican Party. A telling issues here is that degradation of the environment, war and poverty do not feature. Another one commonly left out is systemic sin although an apostolic exhortation calls for its consideration and the Church has called for its adoption for a long time.
Another deeper snag with these five issues arises because of a sense each Church teaching cannot be negotiated. These teaching flow from truth revealed by Jesus Christ, whether they feature poverty or abortion. Living within a pluralistic society infers negotiation should arise about which views should go into public policy or not. Concentrating on the five by a certain group of political thinkers leads to impressions that commitment upon stopping environmental degradation and eradicating poverty are negotiable. Catholics are clear in their minds regarding possessing moral obligations to protect 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.
