Too liberal. Soft on abortion. Support for Mexican invaders. Pope talking one world government, “social justice”. Homosexual pedophiles, $multi-million hush money payouts. Unhealthy sexual obsession, guilt & prudery. Too friendly with liberal fascist government.

[Pyro7480]

Too liberal.

The Church cannot be defined in the American political spectrum as "liberal" or conservative. Have you ever caught wind as to how the leftists describe the Church, or what left-wing regimes throughout the 20th century did to Catholics?

Soft on abortion.

How can you say that with a straight face? You only have a two-dimensional view of things. Catholic teaching is unequivocal.

Support for Mexican invaders.

Unfortunate stance on a temporal issue, but an issue that doesn't affect eternal affairs.

Pope talking one world government, “social justice”.

Again, you only have a two-dimensional view of the situation. I dare you to read the whole encyclical.

Homosexual pedophiles, $multi-million hush money payouts.

Is your faith community without sin?

Unhealthy sexual obsession, guilt & prudery.

The only thing "unhealthy" is the secular warping of God's plan for sex, which only the Catholic Church has successfully refuted.

Too friendly with liberal fascist government.

Again, how can you say that with a straight face? Read "The Black Book of Communism" for what happened to Catholics from Cuba to Vietnam (and it's still happening in both places).

[Campion]

Soft on abortion.

Compared to whom? Catholics have been at the forefront of the pro-life movement since it started. We are the only major Christian denomination which is consistently pro-life, because the other ones all allow contraception, including abortifacients like the "Pill".

Unhealthy sexual obsession, guilt & prudery.

Because we defend the Biblical standard? The same people who make that accusation are generally the ones who really are "soft on abortion".

[Salvation]

**Soft on abortion.** You are sadly mistaken. The Catholic Church has been the ONLY church standing firm AGAIST abortion.
