If all the things he grouped together are in defiance of God’s will, to the point where euthanasia and surrogacy are under the same umbrella, then he isn’t compromising on much of anything, right?

I feel like you’re getting really hung up on this word “zealot” - It’s not a slur, at least not in the denotative sense that I’m using it. It just means fanatical. The more you argue that his beliefs are deeply intertwined with the exact verbiage of the Catholic doctrine, the more you’re arguing for his zealotry, not against it.

Amen! But a strict adherence to the doctrine is again more evidence of diehard devotion to an ideology, even in the face of more contemporary beliefs and methods concerning childbirth. Uncompromising.
