Kmiec cites fictitious quotation from St. Thomas More

Pseudonymous blogger "Thomas More" doesn't appreciate it when posturing Catholic academics quote fictitiously from famous Catholic martyrs:

"I recently watched the Dr. Doug Kmiec and Dr. Hadley Arkes debate [video here] that happened a month ago at Villanova. One of the debaters, Dr. Kmiec, engaged in one of my most disliked pet peeves; quoting the fictional St. Thomas More."

This is a terrible injustice to the legacy of St. Thomas More, who was most upright in enforcing the law of men and God. You see, St. Thomas More informed by his Catholic conscience would know that abortion is murder. He would punish those guilty of abortion as committing a crime. Indeed, he took great pride in his defense of the faith, including punishing heretics with the force of law. Does this sound like a man who would just let the current administration's endorsement and funding of abortion as a good just slide? St. Thomas More stood against the King of England, a.k.a. the sovereign of England, and willingly lost his head for Christian Marriage and papal authority.

It's sad that Kmiec has to go to a movie adaptation of a saint's life to find agreement with his views.

What's next, words of wisdom from the Gospel according to Jesus Christ Superstar?!

Meanwhile, Robert George has answered Kmiec's latest prevarications in a brutally-complete way.
