Agree. You want to be against it? Go to Catholic school. Where they say to love thy neighbor, unless they are gay.

As a Catholic, I am offended by this gross mischaracterization. Glad it's okay to "bash" some groups but not others. Hope it makes you feel better to insult my Catholic children who go to Catholic school, but I don't see how that helps at all.

Agree. I have no moral objection to same sex marriage I just hate that some liberals cannot accept that others have different views. It's so hypocritical.

At the risk of derailing a thread that violated Godwin's Law 4 pages ago, the Catholic Church teaches certain things and, as an organization, professes certain beliefs and requires that it's adherents conform to those beliefs.

You don't have to share those beliefs (although your priest, bishop, archbishop and the Pope might disagree). You can be as much of a cafeteria Catholic as you want. But, when you say, "I'm Catholic," people assume that you hold the beliefs professed by the Catholic Church. If you said, "I'm sorta Catholic," or "I'm a C&E Catholic," or even, "I'm a lapsed Catholic," then people are less likely to make assumptions about your beliefs. But if you just stand up and say, "I'm Catholic," then you get the baggage that comes along with claiming allegiance.

It's not just true of Catholics. It's true of every group that expresses dogma - Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Baptists, Mormons, etc.

People like PP that send their kids to catholic schools for the daily teachings of their cult are not lapsed Catholics.

Ok, I am a very lapsed Catholic (haven't been to mass or any other sacrament in over 6 years) who went to Catholic school all my life. Not all Catholic schools teach hate - the good ones teach you "this is what the church says, it's your choice to believe or not". I am a bleeding heart, Sanders voting liberal and have been since I came out of the womb. There are many things I have always disagreed with what the church said, and I told my teachers.B ut overall I took away lessons of compassion and tolerance, neither of which you are showing.

I guess what I'm saying is don't call it a cult and stop belittling it because it is not your faith or your beliefs - you're being just as close-minded and narrow as you accuse all Catholics of being.

So you are a lapsed catholic who doesn't believe in their teachings but believes in compassion and tolerance? You do realize you do not need to follow and pay for a religion to have compassion? That is something you were born with and I have seen many atheists with more compassion than the most religious of human beings. Denying someone to sit in your business or hand a marriage certificate because you are catholic and using religion as your reason - is not tolerance. Catholics are not compassionate or tolerant of the LGBT community.

Of course Catholics do not think that. They might say it to you but they truly believe their religion is the only good. Oblivious to how they look from the outside. It is no different than Scientology. The believers believe. Everyone else thinks they are nuts.

I am Catholic. Apparently you are not. Please don't speak to what I believe or what the church teaches. Clearly you don't know. The Catholic Church does NOT teach or believe that it is the only good. But go ahead and spout your untruths since it makes you feel superior.

The definition of liberalism is intolerance for discrimination and bigotry. You can soft pedal your "different views" but when they involve denying other people civil rights, they are intolerable.
