Moral Absolutes Ping.
Some people are fighting the good fight. This one is taking place from within the organization of the Catholic Church. Why should anyone - especially "leaders" who influence so many others with their votes and their decisions - get to call themselves "Catholic" when their words and their decisions are in direct opposition to the tenets of the Catholic faith?
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
This affects all social conservatives, whether they're Catholic or not. Supporting and promoting the universal moral absolutes that are the same in every religion is more important than haggling about which denomination is the right one. If the leftists/liberals/ACLU/professional atheists/etcetc have their way, we'll all have to discuss theology in the Gulag, in whispers.

Does your idea "of every religion" include Jews, Hindus, and Buddhists? Does it even include Christian Scientists, Mormons, and Jehovahs Witnesses? Are 'intelligent design', doctrines against contraception, faith in Matthew 6 part of your beliefs? Where do Christian Copts, Mandeans, Armenians, Eastern Orthodox fit into your views?
It seems to me that every church throughtout time has tried to suppress dissent, in the name of keeping a hierarchy supported with money and power. Faith is for free exploration as personally seen. Don't you think?
