No religion among us claims rights of “conscience” against the laws that bar discrimination based on race. If the right to abortion was as morally rightful as the right not to suffer those discriminations, we would be just as obliged at every turn to respect and facilitate that right, not to resist it. But the fact that Congress can keep offering this ground of resistance is the telling sign that the rightness of abortion is still deeply denied, deeply contested. And there is no need for us to rely on claims of mere “belief” as the ground of our refusal to fall into line. The hidden truth is that we find our refuge in the lingering authority of the political branches to stake out a moral position at odds with the declarations of the Supreme Court.

It will be a serious problem, in fact, for Francis to make an opening for the married priesthood and the female diaconate after his predecessor and a cardinal of profound doctrine and of radiant holiness of life like Sarah have taken such a clear and powerfully argued position in support of priestly celibacy, addressing almost in the words of an ultimatum, through the pen of the one but with the full agreement of the other: There is an ontological-sacramental bond between the priesthood and celibacy. Any curtailment of this bond would mean calling into question the magisterium of the council and of the popes Paul VI, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI.

“There is an ontological-sacramental bond between the priesthood and celibacy. Any curtailment of this bond would mean calling into question the magisterium of the council and of the popes Paul VI, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI. I humbly beg Pope Francis to protect us definitively from such an eventuality, setting his veto against any weakening of the law of priestly celibacy, even if limited to one region or another.”

As Sir Arthur writes in his Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes: “It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important”. This maxim is actually something the great Scholastic Theologians of the Catholic Church would readily agree too, because they held that every individual effect is marked by its causes. Thus, every small detail about everything, says something about the causes of that detail. We have only to study the details to find the clues.
