Daddy-O of the 7 Wonders

Technically, the requirement to do some form of penance every Friday is still in force, only none of the V2 bishops care. My kids and I still do meatless Fridays all year, because that's as good a form of penance as anything else.
Notable Exceptions: Friday after Easter and the Friday after Thanksgiving (Pius XII gave Americans a special indult so they could eat up their leftover turkey).

It was the term "souled" upon which you arbitrarily established some vague value that I was pointing out.
Regarding frontal lobe development, how, exactly, is that measured in embryos/fetuses? Or is this another vague concept dressed up in scientific language to make it appear like an actual measurement? How is "supporting consciousness" supposed to be measured in utero?
Still sounds like vague religious arguments trying to justify eugenics aka "kill the ones you don't want."

"souled" sounds like a vague religious argument.
Human intervention is required for pretty much all babies. From premies to at least 4 years old, none of them would survive long without serious external intervention.
Whether or not artificially created embryos are ethical in the first place is a different topic.

What's the difference between embryo selection and raising a bunch of kids and then just killing off the ones you don't want (IQ too low, has peanut allergies, wrong eye color, wrong sex . . .etc.)? So long as it's done before a certain age, like 5-years-old, would that be morally acceptable?

My translation has "Vengeance is mine" which gives a divine aspect to Justice not in the sense of "keeping society safe" but in revenging wrongs that have been committed.
Different folks have different strengths and weaknesses and temptations. For me there's no personal aspect about what I'm saying. It's just a fundamental law of reality - society cannot exist without justice, and justice requires severe punishments for severe wrongs.
Mercy cannot mean freedom from consequences.

I'm not saying they have to go to hell. Continue to pray for their conversion. And God may give His Mercy to whom He chooses - we have no claim to restrict that.
But corporal punishment and justice are an integral part of this world on this side of the grave. We have an obligation to be good stewards of this world and the souls God has entrusted to us.
There are sins that merit severe punishment. For too long we've pretended that Mercy eliminates Justice. This is a lie.

Again, jail is not an appropriate punishment. This idiot, through lack of self control and self centeredness, did real harm to all of his coworkers, caused millions in property damage, required at least 175 to put their lives at risk, and might create an economic ripple that could impact millions.
He's forfeited the right to be a part of society. This is a death penalty case.

My sympathy is entirely with the SSPX in this situation. Church teaching for thousands of years says "Salvation is through and in the Catholic Church." Vatican II says, "nah, actually God really likes all religions" (at least as interpreted by many, including the late Pope Francis. The SSPX say, "That sounds kind of like BS to us."

Another quandry.
Superman is invulnerable - so if you try to burn him alive with a flamethrower, it's not going to hurt him. If you shoot him with a bullet, it bounces off and doesn't hurt him.
But does this mean he has no sense of touch? Can he not feel the heat from a cup of coffee? Or a hug? Can he not feel any sensation of pressure, like the silky smoothness of satin or the rough texture of burlap?
