De Omnibus Dubitandum Est.

Whether he realises it or not, the Irish Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, who will forever more be known as Enda-life Kenny, has excommunicated himself as a result of championing the abortion legislation which was passed in Ireland at about 12:30am this morning. Kenny's singular pursuit of this policy has been shocking. He forbade a free-vote on a matter of conscience, then he expelled four TDs from Fine Gael for voting according to their consciences. Today on Sky News , the legislation is still being wrongly reported as having come about as the result of the death of Savita Halappanavar  for want of an abortion. (For the full story on Savita's tragic case, look here ). A public excommunication would be the most charitable and merciful thing that could happen to him now. He needs to be made aware how much he has separated himself from Christ and His Church, and that his immortal soul is in peril.

I am, of course, aware that putting up Ruari's piece on Savita would cause a stir. The broad swipe of feed back I'm receiving is very nervous that the article speculates without facts. One thing I have learned recently is that the pro-life/ pro-choice debate rages much larger in society than I had known. It is also fraught with politics and alliances. I am not part of any of these alliances or strategies, nor do I intend to become embroiled in the politics of how to fight abortion, though I most firmly stand on the side of the line which is against the forced medical abortion of unborn children.

In fact, confronted with the reality of abortion, I think most people would find it very difficult to justify- unless you suffer from a complete lack of empathy with the reality of the situation. The only way I can see to accept abortion is to depersona...

This is a guest post from freelance writer Ruari McCallion If you can’t find evidence of a conspiracy then you aren't looking hard enough… There is a need to stop this side of David Icke (WELL this side of David Icke) but, sometimes, conspiracy theories turn out to hold water. The death of Savita Halappanavar is a tragedy that became a catastrophe for her family – that much is crystal clear and pretty much everyone can agree on it. But then things get murkier and murkier. There are agendas at work and the hint of something rather nasty at large. Mrs Halappanavar died of an antibiotic-resistant infection, specifically e.coli ESBL. She did not die from an abortion, from being denied an abortion, from Catholic teaching or from a confused legal system in Ireland. WHAT IS IT? ESBL stands for Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase positive gram negative bacteria. It is resistant to most strains of antibiotics. One of my informants told me: “… the antibiotics given were to no avail...
