Talk:Rome Rule

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article currently states:

"All major Christian denominations have very similar views on ethical matters related to human life and press that view whenever possible."

I think this last sentence needs rephrasing for clarity and NPOV: Are we referring to abortion? the death penalty? euthanasia? contraception? war and peace? stem cell research? Please believe me, I don't want to start a polemic; I just think we should be more specific. QuartierLatin1968 20:56, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

It seems a complete Non sequitur to me. Why is that sentence there? What does it have to do with anything? I will delete it: the editor responsible may reinsert it if he provides a context and clarity. --Red King 00:55, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gavan Duffy judgement

I suppose it would offend NOR to comment that Gavan Duffy's judgement (in which he applied Ne Temere cannon law rather than the law of the land), had it been take to the Supreme Court, would have been found repugnant to the Consitution. Despite great pressure at the time from the Catholic Church (which had succeed [I believe] in inserting such clauses in the Spanish and Italian constitutions), de Valera specifically refused to include any special place for that Church in the constition. So, whereas it was certainly true in the 1950s that the RC Church was revered in the nation de facto, it was not so de jure. --Red King 00:55, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
