[quote=Anonymous]It is not hypocrisy to respectfully (emphasis) dissent from noncore Catholic teachings. It is your right as a Catholic. You do not even have to believe in the core teachings; it is enough to have the will to believe. The Catholic refusal to make gay marriage a sacrament and its teachings about birth control are hardly core beliefs--they are social teachings, rooted in theological Catholic thought to be sure, but noncore. Publicly denouncing the trinity puts you outside the Church; privately using birth control after satisfying your conscience does not. [/quote]
