LIFE ISSUES AND THE THE POLL ON CATHOLIC BELIEFS # 1 OF 2
JUSTICE IS TRUTH IN ACTION - BLOGGER. CINOPS BE GONE TUESDAY, MARCH 24, 2020
Dr. Jerome Lajeune, "21 Thoughts" from Columbia - Knights of Columbus, Jan. 2019 - Excerpts
The renowned discoverer of trisomy 21 worked to protect and proclaim the dignity of every human life. "Today, I lost my noble prize in Medicine," wrote Dr. Jerome Lejeune in a letter to his wife in 1969. The French physician and geneticist had just received a prestigious award from the American Society of Human Genetics and gave a speech in which he strongly opposed abortion." [ The death culture made a politically correct science decision which is contrary to truth and natural law.] ghk
The following "21 Thoughts" by Dr. Lejeune are also available as a booklet published by the foundation. They are reprinted here with permission.
1. "Human genetics can be summarized in this basic creed" In the beginning is the message, and the message is in life, and the message is life. And if the message is a human message, then life is a human life.
2. "Life has a very long history, but each of us has a very definite beginning -- the moment of conception.
3. "A month after conception, a human being is one-sixth of an inch long. The tiny heart has already been beating for a week, and the arms, legs, head and brain have already begun to take shape."
"At two months, the child would fit into a walnut shell: Curled up, she measures a little more than an inch long. Inside your closed fist, she would be invisible, and you could crush her without meaning to -- even without noticing. But if you open your hand, she is virtually complete, with hands. feet, head, internal organs, brain, everything in place. All she needs to do is grow. Look even more closely with a standard microscope, and you'll be able to make out her fingerprints. Everything needed to establish her identity is already in place.
4. "Hate the disease, love the patient: That is the practice of medicine."
5. Again and again we see this absolute misconception of trying to defeat a disease by eliminating the patient and solemnly say say, Who i this upstart who refuses to be cured? How dare he resist our art? Let's get rid of him!' Medicine becomes mad science when it attacks the patient instead of fighting the disease. We must always be on the patient's side, always."
6. When parents are worried about a sick child, we have no right to make them wait - not even one night - if we can do otherwise."
7. "Either we will cure them of their innocence, or there will be a new massacre of the Innocents."
8. "I see only one way left to save them, and that is to cure them. The task is immense - but so is Hope."
9. "We will beat this disease. It's inconceivable that we won't. It will take much less intellectual effort than sending a man to the Moon."
10. "The absolute superiority, the complete novelty of humanity, is that no other creature can experience a kind of complicity between the laws of nature and its awareness of its own existence. The ability to admire exists only in human beings. Never in the history of gardening have we seen a dog admire the scent of a rose. Nor has a chimpanzee ever gazed at the sunset of the splendor of a starry night.

WHAT SHOULD WE THINK OF EWTN'S NEWS/REAL CLEAR OPINION RESEARCH POLLING? IT IS A BONANZA FOR THE NOTORIOUS FAKE CATHOLIC-IN-NAME-ONLY POLITICIANS NANCY PELOSI, ANDREW CUOMO, GAVIN NEWSOM AND JOE BIDEN.
"Overall, the poll found that just 18% of Catholic indicate that they accept all of the Church's teachings and those are reflected in how they live their life. An additional 38% report that they accept 'most' teachings: while 29% do not accept some of the key teachings; 13% say Catholicism has only a minor influence on their lives; and 2% consider themselves former Catholics.
"This new poll is also a diagnosis of the failure in articulating Church teaching clearly and effectively to Catholics on vital moral issues, including abortion ... as the latest poll showed there are still gaps in even the most dedicated Catholics, and in the way they are living their faith. In the poll, 51% of all Catholics believe abortion should be legal, with just 44% saying should be illegal." George H. Kubeck
