The academy set up to promoteCatholic doctrine on human life and personaldignityhas lost its way entirely, writes Hugh Somerville Knapman OSB
There are two ways to demolish a building. If you’re in a hurry and don’t mind attracting attention, you can either blow it up or employ a wrecking ball. If you have more time and don’t want people to notice, you can discreetly chip away at its foundations. A critical mind might look at recent developments at the Pontifical Academy for Life and wonder if an attempt at the second has strayed rather too close to the first.
