Abortion…  wait, really?!  This is old news revived by the new Mother Teresa stamp.

Friend to the Poor?

Friend to the Poor?

It’s so interesting how two groups can see an issue in two radically different ways.

I think it’s sad that with all the suffering, disease, and famine that Mother Teresa saw, that she thought abortion was the issue.

Catholics are all up in arms about the atheist viewpoint on this too:

The extraterrestrial is my brother… So the Catholic Church seems to believe that extraterrestrial life is a possibility.  How long before they come around on biological human evolution?

The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, was quoted as saying the vastness of the universe means it is possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.

“How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere?” Funes said. “Just as we consider earthly creatures as ‘a brother,’ and ’sister,’ why should we not talk about an ‘extraterrestrial brother’? It would still be part of creation.”

<Insert audible heavy sigh here>
