text: Begging the question by characterizing people who reject clear the Church's teachings on the indissolubility of marriage and the intrinsic immorality of abortion with "eminently reasonable and pious people" is a grievous logical error.
  
  I would suggest that if Jesus Christ Himself looked you in the eye and told you that marriage was indissoluble, and you took issue with his understandings of these matters, no Christian of any stripe would characterize you as "eminently reasonable and pious".
  
  The characterization of exchange I just described as "questions and processes of discernment" simply places a fig leaf over the reality.
