The Pope being a "bully"? Ugh, this woman is retarded. Pope John has been a tireless advocate of human dignity, forming and mandating all kinds of social justice movements (some of which might not be popular on FR)and demanding human rights for people living under tyranny. Communism in Eastern Europe collapsed at least partly because of John Paul, no thanks to worthless North American leftists.
As for Canada being a "secular" nation, that is entirely a recent notion. Up until about 1970, that idea would have been ridiclous. What we have here, is a shrill leftist venting her terror that someone is attempting to re-calibrate Canada's badly out of whack moral compass. I'm glad she's chosen to fight, if her weapons are what they appear to be-fallacious reasoning based on poor research, unrepresentitive sampling, and a boring writing style the events she fears will come that much sooner.
Finally, I would like to point out that she clearly states that her hatred has been "honed by years of feminism". Which I think is a serious "by their fruits you shall know them" moment for the rest of us.

On the other hand if you call someone who advocates socialism a socialist, the leftists have a hissy fit.

I feel profoundly sad for this woman.

This LEFTIST would deny anyone who attends a Church any participation in government.This woman is a flaming moderate compared to one leftist I know. She said, "the First Ammendment requires the government to enforce the separation of church and state. Once a person has expressed a religious thought, their entire thought process is suspect. It's the government's duty to protect me from them by keeping them under surveillance in case they are ever motivated by another religious thought."
Basically, for her, all non-atheists (agnostics can have "religious" thoughts, too) have to be monitored by the government because they are a clear and present danger. Expressing a "religious thought" makes you a definite suspect, because she can never "trust" you again to have a proper thought.
The author of this screed is a mere piker. At least she would still allow "religious" to remain in general society, as long as they kept their traps shut.

You wrote, "Don't like the rules? Don't let the doorknob hit you on the way out the door."
Butt isn't this heather-brained idiot claiming some sort of constitutional (or whatever it is Canada has. I think it's some act of the British Parliament still held in the UK.) right to let the doorknob hit anyone in the butt?

What's with the reference to her friend who'd had a hysterectomy? Does this jackass believe that the Catholic Church forbids women from having hysterectomies for medical reasons?
