...Catholic church who don't buy every dictum the church hierarchy sends down. There are pro-choice-Catholics, pro-gay-marriage Catholics, pro-just-let-priests-get-married-Catholics and even hell-just-let-women-become-priests-Catholics. But, none of these people talk about their dissenting views or organize into groups or anything, that I know of anyway. It's just slient. They just ignore whatever dicta they don't buy and go along with the rest of the stuff. There are, of course, millions and millions of true believers who subscribe to everything handed down from the church hierarchy without question. But it is not 100% of the church membership!
I personally thought the Catholic church made a huge mistake by rejecting Kerry as a presidential candidate. The only Catholic president so far has been JFK. It might have given the Catholic church a much-needed boost to have a Catholic president again! Dumb Dumb Dumb.
