Reply #37: The catholic church should practice what it preaches

[PA Democrat]

I am a Catholic, and as such I am sick of the church's total hypocrisy when it comes to pushing a "pro-life" agenda.

In the PA gubernatorial race in 2000, my church published a
"voters guide" rating Ed Rendel Vs. Mike Fisher the republican candidate. They rated them on TWO issues: abortions and school vouchers.

Mike Fisher AUTHORED Pa's death penalty law which permits the execution of children and the mentally retarded. He was indignant when the Supreme Court ruled that executing the mentally retarded was
"cruel and unusual punishment".

My Catholic church also would not accept my disabled child into their preschool program even though we offered to provide an aide to accompany her.

Churches are made of people, many of whom are deeply morally flawed, and who have NO right to sit in judgment of others. I thought that was up to God.
