When does life begin?

Blogger Irenaeus from the blog “Catholidoxy” puts to rest (and how!) the ridiculous notion that somehow the Church has in the past been unsure about when life begins. Check it out.

He lines up quote after quote after quote proving that:

1. The Church has always been against abortion.

2. While there may have been some debate about when the soul entered the body-none the less that body is a human body and thus is human life and it begins when the life of any organism begins: at conception. That’s not some arbitrary decision by the Vatican, that’s science.

Next time some poorly-catechized, unscientific, not-so-smooth talking political hack tries to pretend that “we’re just not sure”, you’ll have ammo.

The new V E R I T A S page!

Welcome to the new Veritas Bookstore website. We hope in the coming days and months to create a hub of information and events news for the Houston area. You know that Veritas has long been more than just a Catholic bookstore, and that in fact it is often the place for Catholics to meet one another and create the types of contacts and friendships that contribute to a vibrant and active missional spirit in a diocese.

Bear with us for a few days as we get the site up and running. If you would like to help in this apostolate, drop the Ben an email, here.
