Default Errors?

Errors?
I think the technical error may be on your end.
For example: Creating stem cells from skin tissue requires manipulation of the genes. 4 genes need to be manipulated in order to reprogram the cells into stem cells. This was first done on mice.
To quote that article:
"Now, scientists at Whitehead Institute have demonstrated that embryonic stem cells can be created without eggs. By genetically manipulating mature skin cells taken from a mouse, the scientists have transformed these cells back into a pluripotent state, one that appears identical to an embryonic stem cell in every way. No eggs were used, and no embryos destroyed."

This is also true when we are talking about human skin cells:

"At Kyoto University, a team led by Shinya Yamanaka published a paper in Cell showing that differentiated human cells could be reprogrammed to an embryo-like state1 using the same formula that he had previously used to transform differentiated mouse cells, . First the researchers engineered cultured human skin cells (called fibroblasts) so that additional genes could be inserted more easily. The team added viruses engineered to introduce 4 genes (OCT3/4 SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC) into cultured skin cells collected from adults. After several weeks in culture, the team started to see colonies resembling those formed by human embryonic stem (ES) cells.

In other words, the Vatican supports genetic manipulation.

Regarding ANT-OAR, it's not being discussed by anyone hardly at all anymore. It does not appear to have the scientific promise it was originally thought. My point in producing it was simply to show that the Vatican was considering it. You haven't produced a retraction of this. The Vatican never issued a new list of 7 deadly sins, the media has. It does not serve as a retraction, one would hope for something more specific than that. Seven new sins?

I'm glad you talk to Catholics. They are not always your enemy.

Blessings
