"This says to me that the Vatican ... is not prepared to move into the 21st Century, which it desperately needs to do," said Durso, who was raised Catholic but no longer practices."

So if a Catholic no longer practices because she doesn't like the doctrine, is she still a Catholic?

Does she sit in the pew each Sunday under teaching? Does she put into the collection plate each Sunday?

So should anyone care what a cafeteria Catholic thinks when choosing a Pope?

She is still waiting for the Church to come to her and say, "We were wrong and YOU were right."

Being "raised Catholic" is just more B.S. for 'I want the Church to listen to my opinion even though I don't go anymore.' All of the "raised Catholic" types can p!$$ off. If you practice the faith you have at least some room to spout off, otherwise go join a Wiccan coven for all I care!

Cheers,

CSG
