[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Catholic here - Baptized, Communion, Confirmed and married by the Catholic Church.

I am pro choice, believe that gays should have the right to marriage and believe in birth control. My feeling is this, those are someone else's choices that they have to make for themselves. They are not mine to make for them. I personally would not have an abortion and I am gay and if I was I personally would not get married. Because I would not personally make those decisions for myself, I still feel comfortable going to a Catholic Church. I also let the church for a while. I came back when I needed God the most. I think believing in God is more than the religion you chose to belong to. Go to church and know that your relationship with God is between you and your God.

This is me.  I do think abortion is sinful and the Catholic Church has a right not to marry homosexuals, but I also believe those things should be legal since my Catholicism shouldn't have bearing on what is and is not legal. [/quote]

The Catholic church isn't asking for gay marriage to be against the law, is it?  They just don't want to perform them in their churches (and no-one is forcing them to).   They do think abortion should be illegal (as well as being sinful) but the church can't control the laws -- anymore, since the separation of church and state in most countries.

The Church most definitely opposes legalizing gay marriage.  We hear about this all the time in the diocese of Arlington.  [/quote]
