Welcome to a Brain Wrinkling Wednesday with Fr. Tom Koys. Today Father Koys wrinkles our brain with discussion of the Seamless Garment Analogy applied to the moral issues of today. Is this a proper use of the analogy? Can we apply weights to the issues of the day as a way to apply a hierarchy to the moral issues we confront today? He also looks at Protestant ordination and the consideration that it is not biblical based as he identifies ways the ordination of a Protestant Pastor can come about. He invites you to join the St. James Parish in Lemont for a speaker led presentation on the Dobbs Decision, please see their website for details at https://historicstjames.org
