Obama's very own Sancho demonstrates that he can be callous, scientifically illiterate, and give the one-finger-salute to the Catholic Church all in fifteen words or less.
"If you care about it, why don't you support stem cell research?”
As Beckwith and his commenters point out:
1) Trisomy-21 means that every single cell in the Down's child has an extra chromosome--meaning that every single cell would have to be replaced. Strike One: scientific illiteracy.
2) Actually, EVERYONE supports adult-stem-cell research. Including the Church and lotsa Conservatives. Strike Two: callous disregard for facts.
3) The Roman Catholic church teaches authoritatively that embryonic-stem-cell research is flat-out immoral. Strike Three: your flip remarks are not going to make your Bishop a happy camper.
The U S Catholic Conference, the bureaucracy established by the rapidly-diminishing Bernardin Boyzzz Bishops, has been carefully and studiously "neutral" in the last several elections.
Biden is single-handedly making the case that USCC should speak clearly.
Not smart, Sancho.
UPDATE: The USCC has issued a statement smacking Sancho across the chops!
Between Pelosi and Biden, I think the bishops are now realizing that the Magisterium of the Laity is not working out very well.
ReplyDelete(yes, Virginia, there's no such thing as Magisterium of the Laity)
The Biden-Pelosi Catechsism has now been corrected.
