It is interesting to examine both sides of the licit-ness debate, however, one wonders why the Church has never sought alternatives for the products implicated from the use of aborted fetal tissues. It doesn't seem to be a moral argument to say, basically, if I read the arguers correctly, 'well, we've used them in this, this, and this. Why not this?!' No products generated from an immoral act/procedure should be considered moral, it seems to me.

You raise a valid issue, however, it is incumbent on all of us to verify sources rather than accepting 'facts' without verification. Not all of this media source's information is spurious or "fake". The MSM is far more guilty of this based on my analysis of their reports. We are responsible for making certain facts stand up to scrutiny. We must, of course, pray for the stricken and deceased in India.

None of us has a 'right' to the Eucharist. It is an honour most beautifully bestowed from our Lord, Who is its very Essence. The closer we come to understanding the depth and breadth of this Gift, the less likely we are to believe we are worthy of it, and the more likely we are to do our utmost to make reparations in our lives to try to be more worthy of receiving it. Reason tells me that the more entitled I feel about receiving the Eucharist the less worthy I am of receiving it.

I have listened carefully to what Gloria Purvis said, as well as what she did not say. The group she appeared to be allying herself with has no love for the Catholic faith and is far more about Marxist ideals and sexuality masquerading as addressing racial inequities. As such, her remarks were, ill-timed, tactless, and likely offensive to an audience which deplores any kind of bigotry as counter to the teachings of our Lord. Any attempt to make the cancellation appear "racist" is dishonest.
