I don't like Coulter's statement about Catholics.

But I get why she said it.

I was born and raised Catholic. As was my wife.

We attended a Catholic church after we got married, but eventually we left. The priest, a very nice man, gave us very little in the way of the Bible, but a LOT in the way of leftist nonsense.

His homilies contained subjects like the death penalty (it's bad!).

But pro-life? Never.

He initially had petitions against same-sex marriage, but the next week he removed them, but never told us why.

I am CERTAIN that some "Good Catholics" told him that they wouldn't come to the church anymore if he did that.

So he folded like a cheap tent.

If I wanted to listen to some squish drone on about leftist causes and continuously ask for money, I can go to some Episcopalian church down the road.

You’ve summed up the problem with many (c)atholic Churches perfectly.
