COMMENTARY: As has been the case before, the president of the Pontifical Academy for Life often begins with the political situation and then sees where the Gospel and the Catholic Tradition can fit.
The renowned professor of natural law spoke last month at a Rome conference, convened in response to a recent Pontifical Academy for Life publication that challenged this teaching.
Four recent appointees to the academy have broken with the Church on the immorality of abortion and/or artificial contraception.
Isn’t dialogue supposed to be in defense of the truths expressed in the natural law, revealed in Scripture and Tradition and taught by the magisterium?
A recent statement explains that Pope Francis nominated the members of the academy, who then made it through the selection process without any red flags being raised.
Mariana Mazzucato joins a growing list of members who hold views antithetical to the Catholic Church.
The academy’s president said on Italian television, ‘I believe that at this point Law 194 is a pillar of our society.’ The Pontifical Academy for Life’s spokesman said afterward that the word ‘pillar’ had been taken out of context.
NEWS ANALYSIS: The document breaks from five decades of post-conciliar papal teaching; its backers are urging Pope Francis to make its claims official.
‘The fact that a large country with a long democratic tradition has changed its position on this issue,’ said the president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, ‘also challenges the whole world’
Even though the Holy See has sent a diplomatic note to the Italian government expressing its concerns about the bill, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia has twice voiced his support on his own.
