You make a good point and I’ll endeavor to be more careful with my words. Thank you for your compliments. May my efforts be to God’s Glory. Amen.
It is a point of irritation for me since I believe that Catholic politicians who would support abortion and gay marriage believe in the American Catholic Church. It is this nonexistent church which allows them to support those things that are diametrically opposed to Catholic teaching under the “belief” that there is a distinction which pertains to the Church in America because of the liberties granted Americans in the constitution.
They thus refuse to acknowledge that Christ’s Church is the same the world over and they are indeed subject to her no matter their place of birth.
