Name another church that consistently stands up against gay marriage, abortion, all this transgender crap, etc. Unfortunately, there aren’t many left.
Point taken, however, it is not complete if you don’t acknowledge that the Pope is in favor of many things that should make us all shudder. His recent interview suggesting that isis is not islam and that Christians are equal to them...what??
For him to NOT forcefully denounce the slaughter of Christians in the ME, means what to you? For me, I can’t take all the other ‘given’ stances he mouths, as much more than head patting.
And the Catholic church is joining those ranks quickly enough.
Besides, it's up to the individuals to make a stand against stuff like that.
It's all fine and good for Catholics to point to the fact that the RCC has done that, but when you examine the personal lives of individual Catholics, they fall far short of it.
I've met no more than a handful of conservative Catholics in real life. All the rest are liberal as they come and proud of it.
There is some major disconnect between official church teaching and the parishioners and unless the Catholic church has the power to positively influence the lives of the people in it, then it's words will amount to nothing in the long run as it will not have any positive impact on individuals or society.
Name another church that hides it’s homosexual pedophile priests. One that is so corrupt with power that when leading catholic politicians defy the church on abortion the leaders of the church do nothing, zero, zip, nada.
My church stands against these things.
He's wrong about some things. ("Global warming," oh my aching head.) That doesn't make him wrong about everything.
