CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SECOND EDITION PART THREE LIFE IN CHRIST SECTION TWO THE TEN COMMANDMENTS CHAPTER TWO "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF" ARTICLE 5 THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT You shall not kill. Respect for bodily integrity 2297 Kidnapping and hostage taking bring on a reign of terror; by means of threats they subject their victims to intolerable pressures. They are morally wrong. Terrorism threatens, wounds, and kills indiscriminately; it is gravely against justice and charity. Torture which uses physical or moral violence to extract confessions, punish the guilty, frighten opponents, or satisfy hatred is contrary to respect for the person and for human dignity. Except when performed for strictly therapeutic medical reasons, directly intended amputations, mutilations, and sterilizations performed on innocent persons are against the moral law.91 2298 In times past, cruel practices were commonly used by legitimate governments to maintain law and order, often without protest from the Pastors of the Church, who themselves adopted in their own tribunals the prescriptions of Roman law concerning torture. Regrettable as these facts are, the Church always taught the duty of clemency and mercy. She forbade clerics to shed blood. In recent times it has become evident that these cruel practices were neither necessary for public order, nor in conformity with the legitimate rights of the human person. On the contrary, these practices led to ones even more degrading. It is necessary to work for their abolition. We must pray for the victims and their tormentors. from: http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s2c2a5.htm Excerpts: http://video.foxnews.com/v/3982573/the-cult-of-che/#/v/3983328/fmr-bush-staffer-defends-waterboarding/?playlist_id=87249 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4XK42CBtVg&NR=1 Fox News Channel and Rupert Murdoch: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_Channel in German or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_Channel in English

A Torture Apologist’s Flawed Theology

by John Gehring 03-10-2010

The Washington Post has a new op-ed page writer drawing scrutiny for his hearty endorsement of “enhanced interrogation,” which translated from Orwellian into English means torture. Marc Thiessen, the second George W. Bush speechwriter contributing to the Post, is in good company with several other professional pontificators who have argued that a little roughing up of the enemy is morally justified and an effective way to gather … [Altro]

Mark Thiessen whom you feature here is a thoughtful and practicing Catholic who in his book Courting Disaster presents the teaching of the Catechsim of the Catholic Church carefully and completely. Your video suggests otherwise and I think the record needs to be corrected here.
