It's amazing how threatened people are by an accomplished academic woman committed to making the economy more just and inclusive....hard to tell what is most threatening - that she's a woman or that she's committed to reforming the global economy?
@DrClarkM1 As a professor of moral theology, one would expect that you could understand the moral problem of having a pro-abortion, atheist economist as a member of a PONTIFICAL academy dedicated to LIFE.
@DrClarkM1 The “accomplished academic” you are applauding is a committed Marxist.
@DrClarkM1 Nah. Put some other woman economist on the board, with similar accomplishments, one who believes in God and the sanctity of human life. That sort of thing does color all your perceptions of good and evil, after all.
@DrClarkM1 I don’t think anyone sees her as a threat at all. They question the appropriateness of appointing her to the PAL.
@DrClarkM1 Her response ( as I am also an economist ) hints of Malthusian theory with an atheistic bias; one that approaches a distribution of scarce resources as necessary to “save” the body but not the soul. The ghost of Margret Sanger lurks behind her altruistic humanitarianism ?
@DrClarkM1 For me, it’s “let’s care for those in the here and now and forget the afterlife.”
@DrClarkM1 It's amazing how quickly you construct a strawman instead of actually engaging with the argument...
@DrClarkM1 Dr. Clark are you Catholic? because if you are I am puzzled how you have arrived at this conclusion. This woman is not accomplished at all. Why would a Catholic want a person who sees Children in the womb as nothing? She is lacking in moral ethics.
