[quote=Anonymous]14:50 coming back to address your points!  Best to divide a long post up, I think.  Also, I didn't write "poor baby."

I agree with your objections to RCC doctrine, particularly wrt gays and abortion. Like you, I'm also totally, absolutely, against any religion that separates into "us" vs. "them," whether it's through communion, or some other rite or way of creating an exclusive membership. The catholic church is not alone in doing this, in fact some other major world religions are equally guilty.

I'm one of those who agrees that it's best to take the whole, not just pieces. That's why I belong to a different church.

FWIW, I also think it's important to respect others' beliefs, even if I disagree with them. And that's why I've been defending catholics here, against what sometimes seems like a whole tribe of mean girls with uniformed, knee-jerk reactions. Please note the difference, though:  respecting is not the same as refraining from criticizing.  Unfortunately, most of the so-called debate on DCUM is ugly, knee-jerk, mean-girl stuff, not respectful at all. [/quote]
