Their view of what it means to be Catholic (capital C) is far different than what I was taught in 16 years of Catholic education. I survived and dropped much of the bull about organized religion, but the core humanity and decency and service to those less fortunate or able has remained. However,these single issue advocates (pro lifeтАжwhich has nothing to do with life) are uncaring, solipsistic sycophants, out for themselves and their benefactors. WeтАЩve really become a land of tyrants.
What the Catholic clergy were teaching and what they were practicing weren't always the same, or even similar, judging by what I've readтАФnews and fictionтАФwhich I must depend on, having been in Catholic churches only for weddings and funerals.
What this Catholic court bribes vs payoffs (aka 'gratuities') siupposed disttinction says about Catholic Church morality is devastating.
What morality?
