Personally, I think a Catholic ought to comply with the directives of their church. Otherwise, what is the point of being a Catholic? I know Catholics who go against their own church regarding abortion, birth control, women in the priesthood and many other issues. It just makes no sense to me. I mean, it's like Ted Kennedy declaring himself to be a Republican.

FWIW, though no fan of the RCC, I agree with you. If you're going to be something, BE it. If you're not, change.

Well said. Everyone is filled with this great pride, thinking they're big experts who can make important moral decisions based upon their gut reactions, and how they happen to feel each day.
