Reply #123: I'm not hating the Catholic Church

[lastliberalintexas]

I didn't like the tone that particular poster took towards other religions, while complaining that his own religion was being attacked. Kind or ironic, don't you think?

And yes, I strecthed Calvinism to include all of Protestantism, considering his posts on this thread. He hasn't simply attacked Calvinism, but "Orangeys" and the supposed "Protestantization" of at least part of the RCC. Again, I don't understand why someone must attack another's religion in defense of their own. But then as I've already posted, I am not religious myself, so perhaps I don't know the rule book. And thankfully I wasn't taught in childhood to hate, period. :shrug:


Personally, I think that any church or diocese or temple or what have you has the right to issue this same edict- so long as it is applied regardless of political affiliation and in accordance with the provisions of IRS Code 501(c) and any other regulating non-profits. And I would hope that it would be applied to the pro-death penalty as equally as it is applied to the pro-choice. Doesn't seem like too much to hope for. :)
