True
RandelungIsn’t the church quite clear about when life begins? At first breath iirc? Stillborn kids don’t get baptized?
UllallullooNo, Catholics are possibly the most consistent religion in unanimously agreeing life begins at fertilization. (Which, eggs you eat aren’t fertilized anyway.)
They don’t baptize stillborn “babies” because they don’t believe in baptizing dead people, as it’s just a body at that point, no longer a complete person. Plus they believe since there was no opportunity, there is a way to heaven for them in the afterlife.
Fair enough, then the egg metaphor is fitting.
Jesus had no bio dad?
kittenzrulz123Our views on abortion are more shaped by our politics then religion, I’m sure some extreme parts of Judaism are against abortion but I don’t believe it has too much basis in Torah.
WereduckA lot of the eggs I get are fertilized (US, California), but maybe that’s because I tend to get “free range”. Can see the tiny embryo (~1mm) in a lot of them.
I’m pretty sure it was a thing that the most devout catholics are morally opposed even to birth control…
