"For my part, I am grateful that the Church does not listen to the peanut gallery and stays true to her One Lord and Master. Because had She done so early on, I guarantee you She would not have survived. Do you want to see what modernism does to a church? I give you the Episcopal Church and other mainline churches sliding into the morass of moral abyss. No, thank you. I'd rather set my mind on the things above. Meanwhile, the Church will continue to speak the truth to each age that manifests its love of self in increasingly creative self-defeating ways."
The Catholic Church is the only major Christian sect that I know of that has such an unenlightened view of sex (i.e. that it's EVIL and only for babies). Even conservative Evangelicals understand the importance of sex as a form of intimacy within a relationship.
"You could not have said a more ignorant statement, I'm afraid. Try using reason next time."
I consider elderly men who criticize women for only having two children so that they can have a career or go back to school to be the ignorant ones. (Being out on maternity leave seven times in ten years will most definitely stop someone from climbing up the corporate ladder).
Please, educate yourself on what the Church actually teaches. You are going on hearsay. You have NO idea what you're talking about. Which leads you to say such an embarrassing statement such as this (which only shows your bigotry against the Catholic Church):
I consider elderly men who criticize women for only having two children so that they can have a career or go back to school to be the ignorant ones.
Again, for your sake, so that you can regain some credibility (aren't conservatives supposed to use their reasoning skills better than liberals?) go read what the Church really teaches.
Of course, you could say to me that you don't have time to do that or that you already know what it teaches. To which I will re-iterate, the Church will continue to speak against the rampant and deep-seated self-love that you clearly demonstrate by your statements.
A good place to start is Humanae Vitae. I'll even provide the link for you: click here. I challenge you to read it and then come back here and make some substantive points.
If you don't want to do that, then may you be happy in your ignorance.
