My reader Zippy Catholic used to note that when Progressives want to blow off Church teaching they appeal to “primacy of conscience” as the All-Excusing Catchphrase. Don’t like the Church’s teaching on the Pelvic Issues? Voila! Primacy of Conscience excuses you from obeying or even listening to what the Church says.Meanwhile, he noted, conservative dissenters…
Simcha Fisher does a fine job showing the massive problems with a new study purporting to show this.The problem with bad science like this–and with the immediate tribal response given it by Christians who tell you that if you don’t buy it you are secretly pro-abortion–is that we don’t need to concoct a bogus link…
