When is family planning anti-life?
With due respect to Father Bernas, in a hypothetical tribe all males are required by their customs to kill one bad person before he is considered a mature male member of their tribe. Is the act therefore not immoral and anti-life for them because that is their custom while it is immoral and anti-life for us Christians who believe in the ten commandments because it is explicitly probited there? As a Catholic it is my belief that either what is taught to me is in accordance to nature or beyond nature or supernatural and never against nature or else how can the Creator of nature go against Himself? Of course we will not impose our belief on others as we are bound to respect them but an act does not become moral or otherwise because of ones religion or belief but by the very nature of that act.
