Cardinal Joseph Zen says Francis is “confused” for backing the Red Communist Chinese’s catholic bishops’ conference

Zen demonstrates a common sense logic that
(in the best case) Francis is severely lacking

Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo’s novel interpretation of St. Thomas Aquinas’ moral principle of “double effect”

LifeSite: [Ehrlich] himself has written about his agenda, that he wants sterilization [to decrease the population]. […]

Sorondo: You have to change your criteria if you want to progress in life. You need to dialogue with all cultures of the world, as the Pope said. […] And we have reached agreements that are very important. [Our partners] want to defend human liberty, human life, and peace against the new forms of slavery. And thanks to the invitation of people that your [pro-life-and-pro-family] people don’t want us to invite — [such as] Ban Ki-Moon, Geoffrey Sachs — we have achieved what those who defend the family always talk about but never achieve at all.

We, on the other hand, have achieved…that the new objectives for sustainable development…we established target 8.6 [sic, it’s actually 8.7], that is to eradicate the new forms of slavery. And that is more important for the family than all that stuff that they do.

Understand?

LifeSite: Ok, Ok. 

Sorondo: You have to understand that. It is important that you understand that. You are a rational human being and reason must come before prejudices.

LifeSite: Well, I also have a doctorate in philosophy, so…

Sorondo: In what philosophy?

LifeSite: St. Thomas…

Sorondo: So, with reason, St. Thomas spoke about the principle of the “double effect.” What is it?

LifeSite: It’s when a certain action has an effect which the agent of the action had not intended, then this [second] effect, for example, does not fall under a moral judgement.

Sorondo:  Well, that’s a complicated way of saying it. It is easier to say that if an action has two effects, if the positive effect is greater than the negative effect, then you can do it.

LifeSite: No, that’s not the principle of double effect.

Sorondo: Then you have not understood the principle of the double effect. [...] You have to form your mind. And you have to understand St. Thomas better.
