Dignitas Infinita has a strong beginning talking about intrinsic human dignity, which is a key concept in moral theology. As this seemed to be overlooked, I wrote about this fundamental principle as Dignitas Infinita expresses it.

Santa is actually St. Nicholas. We know saints have had the power of bilocation. Once, we have bilocation, there is nothing to stop trilocation, quadlocation or billion-location. So Santa can simultaneously deliver many presents.

In case you were wondering, for Santa, in a single 24-hr Earth-night, to deliver presents to all those who celebrate Christmas, he must visit 25,000 homes per second.

Finally. If you want to codify abortion for all 9 months of pregnancy you aren't in communion (small-c) with the Church in a clear public way. No communion, means no Communion (big-C).
