I can think of two possible meanings here. One, as a sort of general euphemism for thinking that human life is possibly the most precious thing we can imagine (colloquial usage). Or two, a word that has a specific and exclusive meaning to those who already believe Catholic doctrine is true.
You use the word sacred a lot, so I want to be sure I'm understanding you correctly here.
Sure. By sacred I mean coming from God and thus regarded with reverence.
Ok. That's what I suspected. Your Church's opposition to IVF only makes sense if you already believe that Catholic doctrine is true, even if it sounds like justa bunch of ridiculous woo to others.
Do you understand why so many dismiss your Church's position as nonsensical?
Bear in mind, you don't have exclusive rights to the use of the words "sacred" or "reverance".
