[For some reason, my original comment no longer appears at this url, so I am re-posting it after fixing a typo and adding a few clarifying words]:

The statement above that the government has "evidence linking…Israeli spies to 911" is misleading. And this Fox report certainly does *not* support what 9-11 conspiracy theorists claim about Israel being behind the attacks. Here is a direct quote from the video that undercuts any such claim:

"There is no indication that the Israelis were involved in the 9-11 attacks but investigators *suspect* that the Israelis *may have* gathered intelligence *about* the attacks in advance and not shared it."

Quite a bit less damning and titillating than the most ardent conspiracy theorists would like, certainly. Yet, obviously, if there is evidence that Israel withheld important information that would have helped us to thwart the attacks launched by Al Qaeda, that needs to come out as well and it needs to be dealt with squarely and firmly.

Fr. Jenkins may have an argument in terms of the "letter" of the law, but the "spirit"? Please. It seems that Fr. Jenkins doesn't understand that Church teaching against abortion is not a divinely revealed truth, it's part of the natural law written on every man's heart - Catholic or no. Therefore, even non-Catholics have no excuse for supporting abortion.
