Point 3
High-ranking dignitaries of the Roman Church, especially Pope John Paul II in his newly published book, compared abortion to the holocaust. This idea was vehemently protested by Jewish organisations and was also met 6 with indignation by all rationally thinking people and writers who deal with this subject.

Openly the question is being asked: What does a lawful abortion in the first trimester that a woman decides to have because of certain circumstances have in common with the cruel, lawless, humiliating torture and cremation of millions of Jews? Abortion is certainly not to be played down, but that decision must be left to the women and girls who, for instance, have been raped — as it happened millions of times during the marching-in of Soviet troops in 1945. Some even pose the question, “Does the mass murder of the »unborn life«, which has been discussed for years by the clergy and certain organisations, really exist?” How is it possible, others ask, to speak about the “killing of the »unborn life«” and declare millions of women to be “child murderers” and then even compare them to the millions of Jews murdered in the holocaust? Others wish to contradict this comparison and ask, “Does a »developing life« exist or should we rather speak about the »developing body«?” The heated discussion about this subject continues. After all, it is a serious matter. The main remaining question is about the purpose of such a “moral”. Is it used to place people under bondage and under the judgement of a bad conscience?

What does the Scripture say? According to Gen. 1:26-28, God created Adam in His own image. Then He formed his natural body from the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and so Adam became a living soul (Gen. 2:7). Every child develops after the fertilisation in the mother’s womb, according to the divine order of creation, “Be fruitful and multiply”, until it is complete. With the first breath taken at birth, so some people assert, the conscious life of the soul of the newborn as a person begins. This particular argument then states that everyone enters into his personal life on earth with the first breath and ends the same with his last breath. At the funeral only the earthly body is placed into the grave, the person that dwelled therein has left and is already in the hereafter. All of you, myself included, who have never had to experience this problem personally, should be thankful to God. The individuals who had to go through this will hopefully be helped by this exposition, so the peace of God is brought into their soul. All who are not affected, be it an institution or an individual, should not assume the right to speak for others. Sadly, the manner of the Pharisees is still to this day widely spread, but it certainly does not help anyone. Finally, it needs to be stated that forgiveness is granted to all who come to the LORD, as long as the time of grace lasts.

It seems suspicious that the previously mentioned book was published during a time when, for instance, in the USA the million-Dollar mark has been surpassed in the compensations paid by the Catholic Church for the 11,000 cases of child molestation committed by 4,000 of its priests. The court cases against the guilty priests in the various dioceses continue. How can the public cope with this? Is it meant to be a distraction when they compare abortion with the holocaust, in order to “elegantly” spare those who practise this perverse paedophilia and also homosexuality, which ensures that no human beings are born into this world. Under no circumstances should such a religiously cloaked misguidance find the consent of believers. Interestingly enough, no reference is being made to the Bible.

It must be permitted to mention 1. Tim. 4:1-3, where celibacy, the prohibition to marry, is declared to be a doctrine of demons, because it is against the order of creation, which Satan himself throws into a chaos. The doctrine of celibacy was made mandatory for the priests by the Catholic Church in the year 1079. Whoever bypasses the rules of nature, as set forth by the Creator, inevitably ends up in an unregulated, unnatural state of being, living contrary to the order of creation. That is how it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah — the Apostle Paul speaks about this subject in Rom. 1:18-32 — and it is also predicted for the end-time (Lk. 17:22-37).

The Polish pope, who was born in the village Wadowice near Krakow and who as a young priest lived just a stone’s throw away from the extermination camp Auschwitz/Oswiecim, must have known something about what was going on. In his book he attacks Nazism and Communism and much more, but does not say a word about the attitude and silence of the so-called “war pope” Pius XII or the accountability of the Roman Church during the time of the Holocaust. Then of what value is the big “mea culpa” (confession of sins)? Was the plea for forgiveness made in the year 2000 for the persecution of the Jews by the Christians simply a lip service? Some authors argue that over the course of the centuries the Church of Rome did not care about human life, newborn or otherwise, as people were put to death by the millions. She presented herself as the only one that could administer salvation, but the human rights of others were not respected, freedom of speech and religion was never granted, human dignity did not exist for them. And now the talk is about the »protection and dignity of unborn life«! Is that not a paradox? Or was there actually a thought process?
