Anyone in authority who took action without thoroughly researching the risk to the pregnant child would be in deep, deep trouble... I thought it was more or less the same in other religions?
So did I. I'm angry that doesn't seem to have been the case here.
The thing that horrifies me most is obviously a child being raped, but yes, I believe that failing to do his research properly is where the bishop went wrong.
Most of the posts I've seen don't seem to agree with this - they think the Catholic position is that abortion is banned even if it would undoubtedly save a life, which would mean the bishop wouldn't have to do any research.
