To all of which, I say to them -- Fine -- leave the Church. Do not call yourself Catholic. Do not attempt to partake of the Holy Host.

Why is this so hard for some people? I am not even a Catholic and I can figure this out.

The way I understand it, the Roman Catholic Church is not a democracy, it isn't even a republic. The rules are not set by trend or fashion.

The rules are laid down in simple terms and everyone has the right to accept or reject them.

Don't like the rules? Don't let the doorknob hit you on the way out the door.

Butt isn't this heather-brained idiot claiming some sort of constitutional (or whatever it is Canada has. I think it's some act of the British Parliament still held in the UK.) right to let the doorknob hit anyone in the butt?
