    Or dont kiss the Popes hand,
    Or dont bow down to the statues,
    or cover over trannsgressions( by letting molesters pass the emblems
    I could go on and on..

    But if folks like to do that.
    they are free to do so.
    or pray to Mary!!!She may be
    able to put a good word in for you.
    She told the folks to do WHATEVER HE said>JESUS

    Robdar, I know who doesn't have the truth.

    Really? Well then, you must have special powers. Oh, and great way to avoid the question, btw.

    Really, Min, all you know is who doesn't have your truth.

    I really don't understand all the rancor here. If you don't believe in it, then don't go. I'm sure the pope, bishops, priests and nuns won't spend too much time crying in their beer over it.

    Personally, if I choose to go to a church - any church - it's up to me, and if I choose to stay away that's my own business also. I don't have to explain myself to anyone.

    Why do some feel the need to criticize the beliefs of others? Why do some feel the need to defend their beliefs? Is it insecurity?

    Really, who gives a shit whether others agree or not?

    Unless of course you choose to have a legal abortion, or marry your same sex partner.

    Abortion is murder ... the doctors urged my mom to abort me to save her life ... she refused to murder her unborn child ... me ... and we both lived.

    Marriage is a religious term. Gays can use the 'civil union' process and gain all the same rights.

    If a person wants to be a Catholic, then murder and homosexuality cannot be practiced ... if you want to murder your unborn, and marry your same sex partner, then do not seek to be Catholic. It's as simple as that ... it is all free will.

    No, it's not about free will. Because you and yours believe the above, you take it upon yourselves to change laws and influence the state according to YOUR beliefs. You would take away my free will.

    But Catholics do murder and are gay. They're generally not excommunicated.

    Robdar, you don't need special powers to know if something isn't true.

    I don't claim to know who has the truth. But I know who doesn't. (said for emphasis).
