"Wright raises an interesting point that deserves comment: Cardinal Egan was not necessarily teaching Church Doctrine, rather, he was witnessing to common sense."
In other words, Cardinal Egan was invoking the Natural Law. As Pope Benedict XVI has noted in defining those "principles which are not negotiable":
"These principles are not truths of faith, even though they receive further light and confirmation from faith; they are inscribed in human nature itself and therefore they are common to all humanity. The Church’s action in promoting them is therefore not confessional in character, but is addressed to all people, prescinding from any religious affiliation they may have. On the contrary, such action is all the more necessary the more these principles are denied or misunderstood, because this constitutes an offence against the truth of the human person, a grave wound inflicted onto justice itself."
what a special pic of Ms Pelosi! Do you think she is expressing shock to learn that life begins at conception?
