If you, 4:29, don't want or support an abortion, NO ONE is making you or any other Catholic have one. What don't you understand about that? Why must you insist that Catholics are told to kill babies. It just isn't so. Besides, babies Saint Thomas Aquinas said that a fetus isn't a human being until the time of quickening. <BR/><BR/>I am anti-abortion and pro-choice. Who am I to tell someone else that they have to believe what I do?<BR/><BR/>Ignorant zealots have often said that Hitler would have loved abortions, just think if his mother had one. He wouldn't have been able to do what he did, but, you can't rewrite history. <BR/><BR/>I think the Catholic Church should forgo the tax-exempt status and then no one would care what they do. The Church's hands are not entirely clean.<BR/><BR/>Christmas may not be celebrated in public schools, but Christians get it off.

The separation only goes one way, I guess. Not good at all. I hope it doesn't pass, but just the fact that it's being brought up is scary enough.

Let's not forget the Inquisition and more recently pedophile priests.<BR/> <BR/>If there had been more lay oversight in the past, I doubt that the enabling Bishops would have just sent the offenders away for a few months of "guidance" and sent them back out there to another parish to abuse others. Why aren't the jails filled with the abusers and their "sheperds" for allowing it to go on for too long.<BR/><BR/>The Church gets no sympathy from me. I never understood, even when I was in a Catholic grammar school, why the Church got tax exemptions on property that was not part of its ministry, i.e. rental property.
