Nun of That

The Catholic Church’s recent excommunication of an Arizona nun involved in the decision to authorize abortion to save the life of the mother reinforces perceptions of church leaders as rigid and dogmatic.

Religion is based in dogma and expected to be rigid even opposing basic human nature like sex and life. The Torah is very clear that the mother’s life comes before the life of the fetus who is not yet a complete life. The Church maintaining their doctrine of born into sin considers the child, not yet born, more worthy than the mother.

This errant view is based in the religious perception that sex is inherently evil; the Talmud-Book of Metaphor teaches, the free undefined nature of sex makes it a perfect vehicle for the evil inclination–those who believe themselves evil are more pronged to doing evil acts than those who fight their inclination.

The Church whose dogmas can not be questioned perpetuate pedophilia by imposing evil as a state of being when in actuality evil is the action taken. In the case of the nun her natural emotions overcame the dogma and she saved the mother and not the child. The Church’s punishment was more than any pedophile received.

The Church calls the Torah/Teaching a Testament but nothing could be further from the truth. Testament infers dogma whereas Teaching infers questions.
