Catholic Church helped steal and traffic hundreds of thousands of babies in Spain

I feel this should be more a cause for outrage than it presently is. But then again, this stuff isn’t even surprising anymore.

I read this quote today from Serge Moscovici and it made me think of Sam Harris and The Moral Landscape: ‘New and unexpected ideas in a science are not only due to the inspiration and the genius of an individual but also to his readiness to upset the conceptions which are current in his time.’

Serge Moscovici, 1972

As we engage with the horrible idea that our government claims the right to add its own citizens to a death list that is compiled by methods and standards unknown, we must concede that no government on earth faces such a temptation to invoke what I suppose we could call a doctrine of pre-emptive self-defense. Those who share my alarm at the prospect of this, and of the ways in which it could be abused, are under a heavy obligation to say what they would do instead.
