But what *is* manslaughter? I’m sooooooo confused! Has the Church ever provided a definitive utterly unambiguous definition that could not possibly be misunderstood by every single human being on planet earth? If not, I guess we just have to say that “manslaughter” is a prudential judgment that Catholics of good will can disagree about. We can’t say anything definite about it at all and even the *slightest* suspicion that the poor man in this video might be up to no good is *horribly* uncharitable and makes me want to cry and never read this mean, cruel, judgemental blog again!
