"They're (priests) actually putting their personal feelings on our religion," she said. "I don't think we should be judged on the personal feelings of a priest."

If this woman is a Christian, these are her personal feelings as well. If she is pro-abortion, etc., then she only professes to be a Christian.

Yes, that's true, but she's wrong about the "personal feelings" stuff, too.

Those are the "official" teachings of the Church.

The Catholic Church likes to leave as much intellectual freedom as possible, but there are some bedrock issues on which it cannot waver...for instance, the Resurrection...and that's what we're dealing with here. A bedrock issue that every Catholic must assent to.
