In this episode I welcome Fr. John of God, a priest of Miles Christi, as we reflect on several applications of the Fifth Commandment (“Thou shall not kill”) in our lives. We talk about the illicit manipulation of embryos; the permanent and unchangeable teaching of the Church about the evil of abortion; in what cases the “principle of double effect” can be applied to preserve the life of a mother, and many other interesting topics! Listen in to get a glimpse into the richness of the Catholic teaching on promoting and protecting the well-being of unborn children!
