>>This is why (hopefully) we don't have Catholic high school teachers stating that Gay marriage is OK in the classroom.<<

Time will tell. My impression is that the Catholic Church will ease it's views in favour of bringing all people under one belief system.

>> Time will tell. My impression is that the Catholic Church will ease it’s views [on homosexuality] in favour of bringing all people under one belief system. <<

You mean like every single Protestant church that existed in 1850, without exception? It happens every generation: a church liberalizes its morality then minority splinters off in a new, smaller schism.

A whopping 36% of Americans claim that they were brought up Catholic, yet only 23% currently belong to a Catholic parish. That’s bad. But 62% of Americans claim they were brought up Protestant, and only 25% belong to a Protestant parish. And from what I can tell, a large portion of that 25% were among the 13% that no longer identify as Catholic.
