"It boggles my mind that a Catholic could identify with the proponents of abortion, the one social issue that is nonnegotiable as far as the Church is concerned."

The problem is this: Some dioceses and parishes still refuse to accept, let alone READ (and distribute) the Church's pronouncement on contraception and abortion, consequently, many people in those dioceses have scarcely-formed consciences regarding these LIFE issues. If you have a bishop or a priest who still says that it's up to YOU if you wish to contracept, the chances are pretty good that he is also pro-abortion, at least to a partial extent.

Alaska: Step out of the bus, and into the food chain.

LOL That's fine with me - as long as I remain at the top of the chain.
