I...I heard this talk just this past Sunday online. I thought it was great, and very simple. It's the first time I've ever heard Dr. Peter Kreeft talk and I liked the way he broke things down. There is nothing like simplicity and he does it so matter-of-factly.Diane Korzeniewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06085979986006926002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21841592.post-51216503871250477482008-11-03T14:29:00.000-05:002008-11-03T14:29:00.000-05:00Sbdn Lucas,Elections are never perfect.

They clamor to be liked and elected, rather than to be right and responsible.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I'll always choose "lip service" over outright denial of the sanctity of life.<BR/><BR/>Pray for me.Fr John W Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01283787316830250866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21841592.post-44271358874211506172008-11-03T11:48:00.000-05:002008-11-03T11:48:00.000-05:00[Hopefully this will post, as my last few attempts...[Hopefully this will post, as my last few attempts to comment on previous posts have to date never appeared]<BR/><BR/>Fr. John,<BR/><BR/>Father, bless. Agreeing entirely with the sentiment of your post, it begs--for me--another question. <BR/><BR/>What do we do when side A. is:<BR/>-open about its unwillingness to uphold Right to Life issues<BR/>-yet may support other, 'lower-order' issues of concern <BR/><BR/>but side B. is:<BR/>-willing to give lip service to Right to Life<BR/>-but does not appear likely to manifest a practical change for Right to Life<BR/>-and seems not to support the 'lower-order' concerns either?<BR/><BR/>In other words, what does one do, when one feels like a donkey before whom a carrot is being dangled?<BR/><BR/>(I ask this genuinely, not as a rhetorical device--adding this as I realize tone doesn't translate online)<BR/><BR/>the sinner,<BR/>Sbdn.
