We believe that infallible Church teaching comes from God. Of course, I'm sure you think it just came from "some dude" lol, but that is not what we believe.
Again, why this arbitrary distinction between medical procedures that alter "God's Design?"
Because the creation of new life is a sacred thing, as I explained.
Medical intervention to help a woman conceive is okay in every instance other than when a fertilized egg is placed in her uterus so that she can conceive?
It's the fertilization of the egg, specifically, that is the issue. We do not believe that the creation of new human life should take place in a petri dish by a doctor. Because we believe that it is such a sacred thing, we believe it should be created through the lovemaking of husband and wife.
This is just so arbitrary it is silly.
I disagree, but that's why you are atheist and I am Catholic, so it only makes sense lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
