  • Perhaps polemic in nature but a friend of mine was contacted regarding a pro-life petition. In relation to a scandal at Seattle University.

     In reply he sent them this.

    Quote
    The Pope has "full, immediate, and proximate jurisdiction over all members of the mystical body of the Catholic Church."  That includes the faculty and students of this school. Proximate means "close." He does not need to go through the local Bishop/ Parish Priest/ Superior of the Religious Order to stop this, and censure those responsible.

    I am not making any sort of point as regards the "unalterable" - as St. Thomas Acquinas puts it - Constitution of the Catholic Church.  I just detest it when people pretend that Benedict XVI is "pro-life" when he clearly is not.


    We could be signing petitions all day and never get to the root of the problem.
