Challenges natural law which is the ethical theory used by the Catholic Church to make moral decisions.
Pope Pius XII SE is 'going against natural law and God's revealed will.'
When using natural law to make moral decisions we should follow the moral laws bc they have been revealed to us by God.
E.g. moral law of 'do not murder' tells us that life is sacred.
E.g. the mother's act of smothering her crying baby to ensure their groups hiding place is not discovered by Nazis...
... is not accepted by CC bc life is sacred.
SE not acceptable way of making moral decisions from a Christian point of view bc it contradicts natural law.
