A politician recently asserted that the Pope was not credible where climate change was concerned. The argument was that Catholic Church should leave science in the hands of scientists. Such view holders have often failed to do it. They are cottoning onto every phony scientist to rebut a reality that human operations have huge effects on climate change. This is also another aspect of Catholic views.
Many politicians have called upon the Church to concentrate on their best calling. That is theology and morality. Each time politics and church tangle, scientific theory controversies often boil over. A major argument features demanding agriculture policy or various such issues must stay outside scope of Church message. Church rebuttal usually involves one major message. This is creation and environment are one. It brings forth a moral reasoning that everyone must make a much better job out of caring for creation.
Another argument rests upon economic priorities upon profit, which have overwhelmed moral essentials in taking responsible care of the environment and creation. An additional admonishment on such economic view asks politicians to concentrate upon their core vocation, which is all round common good. Politicians must not concern themselves too much in matters bringing obscene profits from industries in extraction.
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 is bizarre and noteworthy that each political groups diverges away from teachings of the Church in exactly similar manners. That is with inducing libertarian exemptions. Women pro-choice ask everyone to their bodies alone. Republican pro-business ask everybody to keep off their corporations.
