No. It doesn’t work that way. You say your wife’s family is Catholic. Go ask their priest. It’s nuanced and you should know that.

Schools of thought are present in Christianity as well.

A stance that will never change as it hasn’t for any other religion in the world.

At no point in ANY of your comments did you modify “women” with “Catholic”.

You’ve made an overreaching argument backed only by your personal animus towards the church.

Your whole argument is that the Catholic church is trying to tell all women what to do.

CATHOLIC women who BELIEVE they’ve committed a sin and ASK for absolution via the confession booth.

I find the idea that you can’t let a woman make her own choice about what to believe for herself, without telling her you find those beliefs offensive, to be...offensive.

It’s not inclusive to you, no.

Hindus and Buddhists don’t like it either.

Everyone with sense knows nothing has changed with any religious denomination and abortion, let alone the Catholics.

I would normally agree with you. Except, in this case, there’s no political or social policy arguments.

I’m probably going to get some bleeding-heart liberals asking for me to see the middle or whatever.

Thank you, Pope Francis, for continuing to vilify women who seek abortions by making it an action that requires forgiveness from a virgin wearing a wizard costume.

Atheists remind me of someone outside a building, yelling out to no one in particular how much they hate the architecture, the interiors, the aesthetics, who then yell angrily at anyone going in the building, because that person likes the architecture, the interiors, the aesthetics.

Wow.

Progress is understanding you don’t have to be a part of a group that you don’t feel represents you or can give you what you need.

They’re not taking your donation.

The stupidity of Lutkin and Jezzies like her is off the chart.

What the hell are you on about?
