The catholic church and it's insane preoccupation with "tradition"
and total lack of a grasp of reality continues to support non-contraception
and has done nothing to
curb aids in Africa and doesn't support divorce in poverty stricken nations.
Women in the catholic church are nothing
but second class citizens who are viewed as being nothing more than "baby
machines" basically and devoid of equality.
This is NOT God's intention to have "His" way so totally perverted by
humanity over the ages.

If you are happy with a grandfather figure that stands for the status quo
and history, then that's your business.
Repent while you can!!
