A misguided man. History influences doctrine, for example, but when the Pope promulgates a doctrine developed through thought, prayer, and study of the scriptures and what the oldest church fathers taught, that is the Holy Spirit guiding the Church to truth it had not understood before. What Curran teaches is contradiction to Godly truth, and God does not change for the convenience or conventions of humans.

What did Father Curran believe and teach that caused such uproar? Well, in large part, the kinds of things you might suspect would get someone in trouble with the Vatican — that the church was wrong to strictly ban all abortions, all premarital sex, all homosexual relationships, all forms of birth control except crossing your legs for part of the month; that the church should allow women and gays to be priests; that priests should be allowed to marry.

Oh, is that all he disagreed with?

He thinks that Catholicism, like every other religion, ought to evolve along with society.

All religions change with society? I don't think so. In fact, most don't bend to the whims of social fashion.

later pingout. Didn't click the link to read the whole article. Does Mr. Charlie also say that God should step aside for a more worthy candidate - (ahem)?

Even if he doesn't say those words, that's what he means.
