Id argue that aborting them suppresses them by a factor of at least a millon, and yet Ireland legalized that.

Yes it suppressed their freedoms in life.

What does she want them to be free to do?

Because no one ever left the Church, or became a cafeteria Catholic.

She may have today’s Catholicism confused with the harsher forms of Islam. If you abjure the faith, the penalty is death.

But she was okay with Muslims immigrating to Ireland.

Ireland was once a proud and decent nation.But thanks to the European Union it’s now just another filthy little European cesspool.

“She indicated the Church needs to find an alternative to the christening contract and instead offer its members an opportunity for expressing a voluntary commitment to these obligations when they are mature enough to do so.”

That would be Confirmation.

She has chosen the gay lifestyle of her son over God, as is her choice.

Please don’t refer to my faith as a gutter religion.

I will pray for you. The hatred in your heart seems to be overwhelming.

It seems to me:
Anyone who does not believe what the Church teaches is free to leave (these days.) The Church won’t come after you to enforce the alleged “contract.”

If you think God will come after you, then you would do well to avail yourself of every means to conform to His will. And Baptism which is taught not only as a providing a clean state but also a new interior birth of the self revivified by the Holy Ghost is claimed to be a great conduit of gifts.

If you believe the claims, you see Baptism as a help not a burden. If you disbelieve them, what burden is placed on you?

I don’t think her complaint makes sense.

Sucks to be them.

Then again, our first new POTUS after 9-11 was a alien muzzie.

I was a catholic. I wish I could still be but can not.

My great church has become corrupt under this present pope, “Francis the defiler” of my church. I just go to my local baptist church, Grace. A good decision. Oddly the corruption of faith runs through many churches of different faiths. Grace is just a small church of traditional faith. I like it.
