Why is the Church silent on animals?
Patrick O'Donovan, October 3, gives himself away in his article
which says "Animals were created for the use of humans". It's the
word "use" we animal lovers hate, because it has a thoroughly nasty
connotation. Popes throughout the ages have - quite rightly -
defended the rights of those in their Christly charge, but never has
any Church dignitary, Catholic or Anglican, spoke of man's
responsibility to the creatures of Christ's planet.
The Church is far and away bereft of any feeling whatsoever towards
sentient creatures. Its record on the subject is not poor - sadly
it's non-existent.
