Well, remember the beliefs has changed with the years. This assumption
was quite true a few generations back, but as Mario says, it's no more a
pre established truth among the catholics.

This one is still true : for catholics, life is a gift of god. You can't
take it. Just that simple. From this, you have the explanation behind
official position about abortion, by exemple. And don't argue with the
Inquisition thing :) - the Inquisition never burned people. Never.
Torturing, judging, and passing the case over to the officials, was
enough for inquisitors.
Who said "hypocritical" ? :)
Bye,
