C of E: It's OK to let sick, disabled babies die

An early edition of the English Bible once accidentally omitted the word "not" from the Ten Commandments. "The Wicked Bible," historians call it.

Apparently some copies survived, and are in use at Canterbury.

The Church of England has officially endorsed at least passive infanticide in case of sick and seriously deformed babies.

This is where legal abortion (whose advocates already endorse it in the form of partial birth abortion) and fetal stem cell research inevitably lead. But it is not where that road ends.

This is also where the mainline Protestant abandonment of Scripture and two thousand years of Christian thought inevitably leads. People in the ELCA, the Episcopal Church, the PCUSA, the UMC, the UCC, and the other moribund or already apostate groups which make up this cluster of organizations... you are seeing your own future.

Exposing unwanted babies was one of the pagan practices the arrival of Christianity ended. Apparently the passing of Christianity in the Church of England is bringing the modern equivalent back again.
