The Church's shepherds should have the courage and conviction to tell those who say "I'm a devoted Catholic but I disagree with the Church on abortion, homosexuality and women priests" that they are not Catholics in good standing. Nobody has a right to be a Catholic unless they believe what the Church teaches. The Church is not a public accomodation but a private society of believers.

You are right, Unam. Sadly, it seems there aren't that many shepherds around with the required courage and conviction. Too many of them are PC politicos still stuck in the 60s and 70s.
