96. So you're not sure?

Until "debated" the Church should give her blessing to all abortions? And then what do we say if the debate ends up that abortion is an injustice that kills a person? Why not give the benefit of the doubt to the creature with a beating heart?

BTW, your post about Lumen Gentium mentioned abortion and JPII consulting with Bishops before condemning it (as if he did the proper thing), though the Church has always condemned it.

Regarding capital punishment--the Church herself says it's up to the state. I am in compliance with the Church in that regard. Personally, I agree with JPII that capital punishment is no longer necessary, though the Church will never proclaim that it is an intrinsic evil and may never be practiced.

Regarding my hypothetical that you blew off--it's not silly at all. You claim to have the power to "line item veto" Church teachings that you don't like. Why can't I do likewise?

You have yet to answer important questions:

1) What Church doctrine, according to you, IS infallible? What are the core beliefs that we must all accept and why?

2) Do you speak infallibly regarding your beliefs about sexual morality and those teachings you reject? Why are you a greater authority than the Church, which has already spoken through the Popes and Bishops?

3) Does the Catholic who believes all that the Church teaches, according to you, commit a sin?
