DI Letter Fun
There were two amusing letters the past few days. This one continues to attack me for a position I don’t hold and tries to make an attempt to call me a heretic at that. This amuses me.
First, the Church has authority to declare teachings that require obedience in the areas of faith and morals… only. Even if the documents in question were meant to authoritatively establish evolution as a theory of creation, they would still not be binding under the authority of the Church.
Two, I never, at any point, stated I (1) believe in Intelligent Design or (2) that evolution was wrong, or (3) that Intelligent Design is scientific. In fact, for the later two, I said the exact opposite.
Three, the talk I reference in my column was held at a Catholic Church, and for that matter, not one that is known for heterodoxy.
Once again, illiteracy seems to reign.
The second letter criticized an earlier editorial for the various anti-war groups hording annual township meetings to get impeachment and anti-war referenda on the ballot. The idea that the DI (who ran out Acton for publishing politically incorrect cartoons) is the ideological soulmate of the OBO is amusing.
