KELLER, Texas – (KDAF) - Billboards are popping up in parts of Texas asking Catholics to quit the church.
“I no longer want my name on their lists.I don’t want to be considered a Catholic at all,” said Zachary Moore.
Moore, who is with the Dallas-Fort Worth Coalition of Reason, is doing what a billboard near I-30 and Highway 360 urged. He has decided to quit the church because he does not like the stand the church has taken on contraception.
“The vast majority of Catholic women are using birth control and for the bishops to take the position that they have shows a severe disconnect with their own parishioners,” Moore said.
The Wisconsin-based Freed From Religion Foundation placed the billboard to send a message. The billboard reads: QUIT THE CHURCH PUT WOMEN’S RIGHTS OVER BISHOPS’ WRONGS.

wrong. There are billboards up against helping Israel.
Moore is right..the vast amount of Catholic women are using BC of some sort.
“There are billboards up against helping Israel.”

So what?
That is a wholly different issue than attacking the religion of Judaism here in the US.

Ay info on them? Other than they are more interested in women than in Bishops?
What we need are signs telling all Catholics who are registered as a democrat to change their registration to Independent or Republican when Independent isn't an option.
Anyone who says they're a Catholic and won't at least make that much effort to distance themselves from the democrat fascist party may as well do as this guy wants them to and openly leave the Catholic Church. If someone thinks it's important to remain associated with the democrat party even though that party is now openly dedicated to destroying Catholic institutions, they're no longer Catholic. The people who worship the democrat party rather than Christ haven't already left The Church is because they have marching orders spread divisions and propaganda within The Church.
The same is true of a lot of people in non-Catholic churches. They they only stay affiliated with a Church in order to try and keep people from standing together against the anti-Christ democrat party. The Methodist Church my wife's relatives have always gone to may as well be named, "The Democrat Methodist Church" because anyone who is a Republican or Independent isn't going to be welcome there and won't feel comfortable there anyway. Between the interpretive dances by women wearing nothing but a skin tight semitransparent leotard and the sermons about the evils of fossil fuels, they're on exactly the same page as some of the Catholic churches people have told me about; the Democrat Party as Lord and Master, page.
Anyone who is Christian should be registered to vote, registered as an Independent or at least a Republican, and always make sure they vote even though most of the time all we can do is to vote for the lesser of the two evils. JMHO
I would think he was referring to sexually active/child bearing age Catholic women in his argument, not all women up to age 100.
Then use his mistake to ridicule him in the best of Saul Alinky way. He was clearly wrong and should be mocked.
for the bishops to take the position that they have shows a severe disconnect with their own parishioners,” Moore said.
I think it’s the other way around. What makes him think the Church, is going to change this one aspect of it’s doctrine just to suit society?
Anyone who would leave their Church based on a pitch from a billboard is not strongly enough rooted in their beliefs to be a member of that Church in the first place.
>>>for the bishops to take the position that they have shows a severe disconnect with their own parishioners,” <<<<
That’s the phrase that stood out to me.
Anyone who is a serious participant in the Catholic faith, knows that the opposite is the case. Catholic women/men who do not follow the prohibition of contraceptives are disconnected from their faith.
The bishops and priests have really allowed this disconnection though, by not preaching from the pulpit the truth of Catholic teaching.
And, how many of those Catholic couples who do practice birth control, have been informed of natural family planning?
This is just another example of people taking advantage of the uneducated/uniformed to tempt and draw people away from the Church.
Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses have been using this method for decades.
A bishop’s job isn’t to connect but to lead. What is right has never been a majority decision.
Zachary Moore can, and probably will, go to Hell. I choose not to join him.
I’ll keep my Catholic faith and let this nut case liberal skank follow his own path.

Pray for him and his ilk, yes. Enable him and his ilk, no.
"And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us." 2 Thessalonians 3:6
Delve into the Guttmacher Institute - the research arm of those baby butchers at Planned Parenthood - and their methodology and you'll learn that they are cooking the books.
Liars figure and figures lie.
You are naive if you don't think the majority of Catholic women use some sort of BC beyond the rhythm method just as the vast majority of Catholics have premarital sex.
I'm not interested in enabling anyone, just calling people to conversion charitably.
