Pope Says Abortion Evidence of 'Throwaway Culture'

Why is it that Francis only speaks to the world against abortion and neglects to address the issue of abortifacient medicines with the German Bishop. This is like the sin of Eli who saw that his own sons who was priests in the Temple committing sin without correcting them. When you have a bishop writing about items contrary to the Church is not being punished for his actions. These are the types of items which would have led to excommunication or removing the individual from their position for a period where there was no question their actions were wrong and being punished accordingly.
How is it possible that the same bad bishops give communion to progressive politicians who promote abortion.
How is possible that they may dine with them and honor them as Francis did with a proaborcionist like Nelson Mandela Quoting the work "Three Dialogues on War, Progress and the End of History," Cardinal Biffi told his listeners that "the Antichrist presents himself as pacifist, ecologist and ecumenist." www.zenit.org/…/retreatants-hea…

Abortion is evidence of a throw away culture that wastes people as well as food. ...What food is he refering to..a mother's milk? Or food in general? Either way..to add 'food' alongside of murder? I would think that placing homosexuality in the same sentence with abortion would also be 'murder' in the fact that it destroys the soul, the family and society! Meanwhile homosexual clergy continue 'doin their thing'..while the people pay their salaries and receive communion from them?? I can think of something else to throw away...right out the church doors!

I went to the doctor a few days ago. I received an injection, the needle being enclosed in a sort of plastic. It was "thrown away". I buy food protected by container and plastic. I open the package and "throw the cover away". I could extend the "throw away" nature of modern culture, and praise it. The metaphor used by the Pope misses the point. The unborn is not thrown away, but aborted, i.e., murdered. --It is true that the dead fetus is "throw away" in a container. But so would be a piece of cancer.

The Pope hopefully wants to say that the modern world of the West is seeking no profound connection with life, specifically unborn life, or with anything of transcendent importance, because the "modern" world possesses a "horizontal" view, i.e., this life is the thing and it should be "lived to the fullest" as the only life there is. "Fullest" entails pleasure, sensate, emotional, sex, holidays, etc. and just plain fun. In themselves nothing wrong so long as they are ordered to a vertical transcendence. This vertical moment is absent and such absence justifies somewhat the metaphor of the "throw-away" culture condemned by the Pope. The condemnation is fine, but reflects his horizontal thinking. Really? Yes, the Pope speaks more of social justice, evil capitalism, etc. than about "sin", "repentance" and "salvation" unto death and beyond. Let him accuse Obama of a social insurance policy of "throwing the unborn away". That would be to challenge the modern world.

In summary, my problem is not with the condemnation (that will bother the "hell" of the secular admirers), rather with the non-reference to a transcendence that I find lacking.
