We have stated previously that St. Paul had a way with words. He was able to take a very complex concept and summarize it in a few words and phrases. In today’s Second Reading from Second Corinthians, Paul says simply, “…we walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5: 7) That statement by Paul has inspired hymns and treatises. Yet, it is in reality what we are all about as Catholics and Christians. There is no question that it is one of the most difficult no-tions for us as Catholics and Christians to grasp and accept. The word translated as “walk” can also be translated as “live.” Thus, we could say “We live by faith, and not by sight.” This was a popular and consistent theme for St. Paul, his point being that we need to build our lives around the eter-nal prospects, not those of this world. In this society “things” seem so important to us. However, the truth is that they have no eternal significance. That is an ongoing mes-sage in the concept of stewardship — basically who we are and how we live is more important than what we own and what we may appear to be. That can be tough for us. The late Billy Graham, who died earlier this year, was fond of saying, “My home is in Heaven. I am just traveling through this world.” St. Paul would agree with that attitude. Do You Have To Be Religious To Be Pro-life? From a scientific perspective, what fundamentally consti-tutes an organism as a certain type of “being” is its genetic structure. Trees have tree DNA. Dogs have canine DNA. And humans have human DNA. Humans receive their basic genetic structure at the moment of conception. Written into the single ferti-lized cell possessing 46 chromosomes is all the information that the human zygote will need to grow towards full development. No other extraneous genetic material will ever be needed. Science tells us, therefore, that from the moment of conception we have a genetically living human being (and the "development" continues throughout life un-til death). This means that human life is to be respected and protect-ed; it is not to be taken capriciously, especially from the innocent. You certainly don't have to be religious to under-stand the critical importance and dignity of human life. Even most atheists can agree to this basic idea. But let’s say that my Christian belief is the sole grounding for my opposition to abortion. Would this be so bad? Would I be “imposing” my beliefs on others to say that abortion is im-moral? Think throughout the history of America ---- many if not most of those who opposed slavery and championed human rights were Christian believers who allowed their faith to guide their opposition to evil. Think of Harriet Bee-cher Stowe, William Lloyd Garrison, and the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Should their opposition to moral evil have been dismissed because of their religious beliefs? Of course not. By Pro-Life Articles Author www.pro-lifearticles.org
