It is taken here to apply to any Roman Catholic writer whose thinking and methodology led him to challenge the over-all philosophico-theological schema, or any significant element therein, of the then prevailing neo-scholastic conception and method of doing philosophy and theology” (Transcendence and Immanence, p. 5). He adds that “we should demand of any theologian who refers to ‘modernism’ that he show the provenance of his understanding of the term. If he accepts the definition of modernism provided by Pascendi, let him say so without equivocation and we shall know where we stand with him” (ibid., p. 4).

36 Curran, Charles E., “Abortion: Law and Morality in Contemporary Catholic Theology,” Jurist 33 (1973), 162–83;Google ScholarPubMedMcCormick, Richard A., “Notes on Moral Theology,” Theological Studies 35 (June 1974), 338.CrossRefGoogle ScholarPubMed Both Curran and McCormick argue that the phrase “other values proportionate to life” “must be interpreted in a way consistent with our assessment of the values justifying the taking of extrauterine life.” In just war theory, many values were considered proportionate to life, and indeed more than proportionate to life. Curran and McCormick opened up a large door here through which many choices for abortion could enter and be considered moral. Their position here is considerably more liberal than the famous ad in The New York Times of March 7,1984 which caused such a stir. The ad merely held that there is a legitimate diversity of opinion within Catholicism on the morality of abortion.

42 It adds something to the message of this essay to note that it was originally given as a lecture at Boston College on March 12, 1986. In the summer of 1985 four Catholic universities (colleges) cancelled agreements with me to give lectures or classes because of my views on abortion. The four were: Boston College, Villanova University, St. Scholastica (Duluth), and St. Martin's (Lacey, Washington). In no case was I scheduled to speak on abortion and yet in each case abortion was cited as the cause of my disinvitation. The Faculty Senate at Boston College then invited me to speak on any topic of my choosing in order to demonstrate academic freedom on that campus. The four cancellations illustrate the interiorization of oppression that I spoke of in this essay.
