Fr. Alexander Lucie-Smith from the
Catholic Herald explains why we need absolute moral norms, as explained in Pope John Paul's encyclical, "Veritatis Splendor," he writes:-
"Everyone is talking about the
dubia,
and so I will too, not that there is much need, given the already
excellent and authoritative commentary that has come from a variety of
sources, as, for example the scholar monk
Dom Hugh Somerville-Knapman and the much respected
Bishop Athanasius Schneider,
the prelate who works at the very margins of the Church in Kazakhstan.
Indeed, what need is there for commentary at all, when one of the
authors of the dubia is Cardinal Caffarra, perhaps the greatest of our
theologians, and another is Cardinal Burke, the best of our canonists?"
