How do you explain Kennedy, Biden, Pelosi and other "good Catholics" who vote to kill fetuses and show up for "Holy Communion?"
One of my Catholic friends who went to Catholic boarding schools, said this about the Catholic Church: All my life I've heard, "The church says this and the church says that" and one day I realized "The Church" is a bunch of old men sitting in Rome and they know nothing about real life or real problems.
One key difference I discovered between Catholicism and Protestantism (as I knew it -- "non-denominational") is that Catholicism expects you to conduct yourself according to what you have been taught. But it won't do your thinking for you. You're free to fail to do so.
Now, there is this thing called "excommunication," which I trust you will be hearing more about...
Yeah, Pope John Paul II, who lived under the thumb of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, and Pope Benedict XVI, who lived under the Nazis in Germany, know nothing about real life or real problems, as opposed to you who obviously are a self-ordained expert in such things.
Can't believe anyone could make such a dumb@ss statement.
