Objections: The Gathering

[Metis]

It would be more helpful if you listed these inconsistencies and contradictions as opposed to merely asserting that they exist.

Thanks.

Fair enough

• Pope Innocent III and Pope Gregory IX (1200) considered abortion to be homicide only when the fetusis "formed".
  
• Pope Sixtus V (1588), declared contraception and abortion at any stage of pregnancy, whether the fetus was "animated or not animated, formed or unformed," to be homicide and a mortal sin
  
• Pope Gregory XIV (1591) revoked the previous Papal bull and reinstated the "quickening" test (the perception by a mother that the fetus moves/is animated) which he determined happened 116 days into pregnancy.
  
• Pope Pius IX (1869) dropped the distinction between the "fetus animatus" and "fetus inanimatus" saying that the soul enters the embryo at conception.
  

In the Cadaver synod you had a series of Popes consecutively proclaiming one another heretics and then annulling what the other said, Steven condemned Formosus ex cathedra, Stevens decision was later overturned by his successor also ex cathedra.

My best example was actually the one I presented you about the persecution of the Jews being a requirement of the Catholic Faith for several centuries until it suddenly wasn't which you've still not responded to.
