Consistent Life Ethic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the United States, the ethic is promoted by an umbrella organization called Consistent Life which includes about 400 anti-war, pro-life, nonviolence, Christian, Buddhist, and other organizations. The current movement began in the mid- 1980s, through an organization known as the Seamless Garment Network (now known as Consistent Life). The movement is difficult to define in terms of a Left-Right political spectrum, since those who subscribe to the ethic are often equally at odds with the Right over capital punishment, war, and poverty issues, as well as the Left over abortion and euthanasia. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Consistent_Life_Ethic

Seamless Garment, Consistent Ethic of Life Traditional Catholic Reflections & Reports, Catholic News & Reports, TCRNews2.com, TCRNews.com A consistent ethic does not say everyone in the Church must do all things, but it does say that as individuals and groups pursue one issue, whether it is opposing abortion or capital punishment, the way we oppose one threat should be related to support for a systemic vision of life. Pastorally, a consistent ethic of life is a contribution to the witness of the Church's defense of the human person. The case for a consistent ethic of life—one which stands for the protection of the right to life and the promotion of the rights which enhance life from womb to tomb—manifests the positive potential of the Catholic moral and social tradition. www.tcrnews2.com /seamless.html

Consistent ethic of life approach withstands backlash The-Tidings.com The consistent ethic of life is an integrated approach to moral analysis, concerned with the protection and nurturing of human life across the entire spectrum of human existence, from conception to death. So strong is this emerging backlash against the consistent ethic of life that many bishops apparently broke with precedent last month and withheld their votes from Bishop William Skylstad of Spokane, Washington, one of ten candidates for Conference president. Cardinal Bernardin gave several other addresses on the consistent ethic of life, including one in 1988 to the annual meeting of diocesan pro-life directors, while serving as chairman of the episcopal Conference's Pro-Life Activities Committee (see "Voters and the Consistent Ethic," Origins, 9/1/1988). www.the-tidings.com /2004/1217/essays.htm

Sociology of Religion: The Catholic "Consistent Life Ethic" and Attitudes Toward Capital Punishment and Welfare Reform The consistent life ethic is perhaps most strongly associated with Joseph Bernardin, the late Cardinal of the Archdiocese of Chicago. We argue, however, that success of consistent life advocacy is best evaluated in terms of the strength of association between attitudes toward abortion and other issues. In this paper, we investigate a very specific case of political advocacy by religious leaders: the promotion by Catholic Bishops of the "consistent life ethic." This ideology integrates a pro-life stance on abortion with positions on other sociopolitical issues that are also conceptualized by the Bishops as life-affirming. www.findarticles.com /cf_0/m0SOR/3_62/79353380/p1/article.jhtml

A Seamless Garment Contemporary Christians from traditions as diverse as Roman Catholicism and the American Social Gospel Movement have united behind what the late Joseph Cardinal Bernardin of Chicago called a "seamless garment" or "consistent ethic of life" in support of peace and justice. Historically, respect for life from conception until natural death was basic to the nonviolent religions and philosophies of the East. These include advocates of disarmament and world peace, economic justice, fair and compassionate treatment of prisoners, shelter for the homeless, care of the disabled and terminally ill, racial reconciliation, respect for lifestyle diversity --and, above all, attention to the welfare of women and the rights of children. madprof.home.mindspring.com /ethic.html

lifethic.htm A consistent life ethic affirms that life is sacred in all its stages, forms and conditions. One of the foundational principles in Catholic Social Teaching is a respect for human life and dignity, which is often referred to as the Consistent Life Ethic. Simply defined, a consistent life ethic directs one to evaluate his or her choices, be they public or private, in light of their impact on human life and dignity." www.wisconsincatholic.org /cst/lifethic.htm

A Consistent Life Ethic (Seamless Garment) A consistent life ethic means being pro-life across the board: opposing abortion, capital punishment, assisted suicide and euthanasia. The right to life is the most basic of all rights, and belongs also to the embryo in a mothers womb. Both the military ethic and the abortion ethic are grounded in the same belief: Life is cheap. swissnet.ai.mit.edu /~rauch/nvp/consistent.html

Don't be confused by interpretation of 'garment of life' - By FATHER WILLIAM MAESTRI This concept, in some quarters' dogma, goes by the name of "seamless garment of life" or "consistent ethic of life." The general consensus is that this concept was developed by Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, of fond memory. Now, in the name of the "consistent ethic of life," all relevant moral distinctions within the nexus of life issues are dismissed as hypocrisy. There is a consistent Catholic teaching on the duty to respect all human life. clarionherald.org /20040714/maestri.htm

CCFL - Cornell Lifelines A consistent ethic of life meant an awareness of the dangers of war, genocide, euthanasia, unjust poverty and hunger, unjust wages, homophobia, racism, sexism, pornography, and indeed anything that threatened or inhibited the sanctity of human life, a sanctity that comes from the Divine's love for the world. However, I do believe the philosophy of the "consistent ethic of life" can provide people on both sides of these various issues, and in various arenas (such as that of medical ethics), at least a rudimentary common ground that goes beyond the stalemates of past debates. In her Guest Room column, "Of Life and Death" (Opinions, Oct. 25, 2000), Jenny Burns questions the consistency of some people's positions on abortion and capital punishment, namely the positions taken by this year's presidential candidates. www.rso.cornell.edu /ccfl/editorials/edit6.html

Is There a “Consistent Ethic of Life To call for a consistent ethnic of life is to imply that some people have an inconsistent ethic of life and that this inconsistency represents a moral and logical deficiency. The “consistent ethic of life” is not, then, a magic wand of ethical clarification that can be wielded to resolve a variety of moral dilemmas. The ruling vision of an “ethic of life” might well be taken from Luther’s interpretation of the Fifth Commandment. www.mcsletstalk.org /v6n22.htm

The Seamless Garment The Call to a Consistent Ethic of Life by Fr. James Scullion, O.F.M. A consistent life ethic demands that we hear the cry of the poor, the homeless, the outcasts, and marginalized. Pope John Paul II has forcefully stated that a consistent ethic of life must oppose a “culture of death.” This culture is one in which. The statements of the pope and the bishops, along with the teaching of the Scriptures and the Catechism, challenge us to be consistent in our ethic of life by praying and working for those who are victims of violence and also praying and working for an end to the death penalty. www.wau.org /about/authors/scullion1.html

The Consistent Ethic of Life and Health Care Systems The purpose of proposing a consistent ethic of life is to argue that success on any one of the issues threatening life requires a concern for the broader attitude in society about respect for life. Although the consistent ethic of life needs to be finely tuned and carefully structured on the basis of values, principles, rules and applications to specific cases, this is not my task this afternoon. We must defend the right to life of the weakest among us; we must also be supportive of the quality of life of the powerless among us: the old and the young, the hungry and the homeless, the undocumented immigrant and the unemployed worker, the sick, the disabled and the dying. www.priestsforlife.org /magisterium/bernardinloyola.html

Friends United Meeting: Quaker Life She has served as national president of Feminists for Life of America (1984-1994) and is vice-president of the Seamless Garment Network. But the child is not alone-she or he is attached to a woman whose life is changed by the child's presence. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in psychology in order to study the effect that committing violence, especially socially-sanctioned violence, has on the perpetrators. www.fum.org /QL/issues/9904/MacNair.htm

Consistent Life Ethic Bibliography All of the issues of violence normally covered under the consistent life ethic are included and interwoven in a way that makes it suitable for study of the ethic, directly by those who wish to and indirectly by those who are not yet familiar with it. They do not all deal with the consistent life ethic directly, but they all deal with at least some part of it and are friendly to it. This is a classic in understanding the depth of the consistent life ethic. www.consistent-life.com /library/bibliography.html

Consistent Ethic: Myths and Realities The consequences of a consistent ethic is to bring under review the position of every group in the Church which sees the moral meaning in one place but not the other. The logic of a consistent ethic is to press the moral meaning of both issues. Because life issues are necessarily linked, those who specialize in one topic should not fail to at least mention, from time to time, the fact that the other issues are linked. www.abortionaborted.com /articles/consistentethic.htm

Consistent Right to Life Fidelity to Catholic theology's Consistent Life Ethic requires of each of us to have zeal also for the causes of clerical responsibility (sexual) for women and children and ecological responsibility toward network life, for in the ethic of proportionality, these right-to-life causes have moral standing with anti-abortion causes. Zeal for life goes to the essence of parental conscience, of man's respect for woman, of woman's respect for man, and for their mutual respect for the life they beget. Disrespect for life aroused Jesus' anger with the money-changers in the temple; money-changing religion desecrates life. www.secondenlightenment.org /consiste.htm

Fresh Ideas: Moral Leadership, Volume 2, Issue 2, Summer 2000 A consistent life ethic may lead one to pacifism; for me, it leads to a very strict application of just war theory and the desire for a culture and an international order that cherishes peace and life rather than reveling in death. The demand for a consistent ethic of life, then, has emerged as an outcry, not always fully coherent, from those who have noted--or experienced--gaps in the church’s moral vision and practice or who have paid attention to dangerous trends in the culture. These are the theological truths that undergird the concept of the "sanctity of human life," which itself lies at the heart of the consistent life ethic. www.uu.edu /centers/christld/moralld/article.cfm?ArticleID=11

Catholic Update - A Consistent Ethic of Life by Kenneth R. Overberg, S.J. The consistent ethic of life is ultimately rooted in Jesus, in whom the meaning and value of life are definitively proclaimed and fully given. But the consistent ethic of life cuts across such divisions, calling us to respect the life in the womb, the life of a criminal, the life on welfare, the life of the dying. We face the challenge of embodying consistently an ethic of life in the candidates we support and in our own direct involvement in forming public policy (whether that be in the Girl Scouts, in a parish committee, in a local school board or in the U.S. Congress). www.americancatholic.org /Newsletters/CU/ac0798.asp

Consistent Life Ethic Ring The Consistent Life Ethic Ring is hosted and managed by me, Kelly Jefferson (pleased to meet you). In addition to promoting consistent ethic issues, the perspective of this ring is deliberately "alternative" to be open to sites with non-traditional viewpoints, such as those that are feminist, liberal, secular, gay/lesbian, animal rights, etc. It is not my intention to duplicate the strictly anti-abortion web/net rings that already exist. The consistent ethic philosophy encompasses several issues - anti-abortion, anti-capital punishment, anti-war, anti-euthanasia, anti-racism, anti-nuclear arms, anti-poverty - and stresses their interrelatedness to one another. kelly.jefferson.net /clering

RADICAL ROMAN CATHOLICS AFFIRM A SEAMLESS GARMENT POSITION The seamless garment ethic, also known as a "consistent ethic of life," makes the same point as this Gospel story: the fabric of God's Creation is desecrated when we tear it, gamble over pieces of it, or in any sense lay claims of ownership upon any part of it. The consistent ethic of life opposes not only abortion, but also the death penalty, war, the nuclear arms race and anything that threatens life. This ethic involves an opposition to abortion, sexism, warfare, the death penalty, economic deprivation, and active killing of the sick and disabled, but does not stop there. www.fnsa.org /fall98/pax1.html

MyDD :: "A Consistent Ethic of Life" I think the conversation about life is a good conversation.  But then let's talk, as the Catholics do, about a consistent ethic of life.  Today a silent tsunami will take the lives of 30,000 children because of hunger. The whole 'pro life' thing is a conscious coverup to deceive the most gullible of us until they cannot possibly save themselves from their fate.

Pursuing_Truth: A Biblical Life Ethic is the Truly Consistent Life Ethic It is said by some that a consistent life ethic would not only oppose abortion but would also oppose the death penalty. The failure to exercise capital punishment actually leads to an increase in murderous behavior and is inconsistent with an ethic which truly values life. The various circumstances surrounding the taking of another's life are wrongly placed on the same moral and ethical level. pursuing_truth.blogspot.com /2005/05/biblical-life-ethic-is-truly.html
