Here's a guy who runs around dressed in silks and lace, like something from the fifteenth century.
He guides his church’s policies also in the ways of the fifteenth century.
But on this one subject, the unborn, he is telling us about "rights," a concept pretty much created in the eighteenth century.
Speaking to America, he also uses the term "inalienable" from the country’s founding documents in the late eighteenth century.
I doubt Benedict knows how silly he sounds. His words on the unborn having inalienable rights are genuinely confused and absurd.
Now, the rights of women only made serious progress in the twentieth century. Can you imagine how many centuries it will take Benedict's church to begin recognizing those?
