OCTOBER 11, 2020 TWENTY EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Fr. Regan

Last week we touched upon issues revolving

rhetorical nuances used by those who advocate

elaborate on the term BEGGING THE QUESTION (Petitio Principii). It is a rhetorical tactic in

which a person assumes the very point they

need to prove. For example:

Interviewer: I like your resume but I need references. Applicant: Sure! Bill can give me a reference. Interviewer: How do I know Bill is reliable? Applicant: I can vouch for him. This type of circular argumentation can cause a

The popular language of Roe vs. Wade and

Doe v. Bolton is to employ the terms of choice,

liberty and privacy. The problem is that those

principles (which in and of themselves are not

body is not a life. Thereby those principles

presume the point they need to prove. Liberty

and choice become secondary if the person in

the womb is alive. Secondly, the Declaration of

rights are placed in an order so that the former

supersedes the later.

We have all heard the argument that if abortion

is made illegal, we will go back to the

-

will opt for a more dangerous solution rather

than carry the baby to term and give birth.

Imagine such reasoning applied to any other

dangerous acts in our culture and society. We

make laws to restrict and ban illegal activity

because of the lives of people and the pain to

society. Laws against rape, abuse, murder, drug

use and theft do not stop those crimes from

happening. Can you see how absurd it sounds

murder, steal, and do drugs. Therefore, we

should make it safe and legal for them to do

Another tactic is a personal deflection that

attacks the character of the one arguing for the

defense of life. Have you ever heard someone

the point it needs to prove. Is the child in the

womb alive? If so then that is the object and

subject which all other arguments must

one being murdered then you have no right to

absurdity of these arguments? These

arguments confuse the issues of personal

preference versus a universal standard of right

and wrong.

Rhetoric is intelligently used by those running

for political offices. They are very good at it as

they need to be. As men and women who are

attempting to promote the good for the people

they serve, they have to be able to speak to

various groups, including fellow politicians.

Rhetoric can be used to influence and motivate

people. As informed voters we must pay

attention to how language is used to skirt,

minimize, deflect and change issues. Choice,

privacy, reproductive freedom are all catch

phrases used by persons to avoid the most

basic issues at hand; life. The most precious,

innocent and vulnerable members of our society

are the unborn. Today we pray for a radical

conversion of those who advocate for the

culture of death and for a healthy, courageous

and charitable call for each of us to uphold and

defend the culture of life in whatever state in

life we may be.

It is my hope that we can reflect on some tough

issues regarding our country and world today. In

and act as courageous Catholics.

True happiness

Heaven and you will get Earth thrown in. Aim at

worldly concerns, we will never

know the meaning of true

happiness. If we focus on God, we

will know happiness even on Earth.

The Commandment imbalance

Of the Ten Commandments, only

the first three

address how we

are to respect the

Creator of the

universe. The

other seven

detail how we are

to treat each

other. It is one way God lets us

know how much he wants us to

love one another.

Silence of the heart

"In the silence

of the heart God

speaks. If you

face God in

prayer and

silence, God will

speak to you.

Souls of prayer

are souls of great

silence."

~Mother Teresa of Calcutta
