The fact is the Catholic Church has a 1st Amendment right to present their teachings and to be able to refuse to engage in "sinful" activity as defined by them.
I thnik that is chnaging as they were generally centralist Democrts more close to Clinton tha the leftist of obama and Pelosi.bacially Clinton warned about thsi whe he said you cannot governa this country from the elft. bascaily i think we see just that has from mid term on he has loss support i everey elction and especailly allowed huge state house gains by republicans.

The Catholic Church doesn't deserve to dictate morality until they purge the church of clergy who are sexual predators. The offenders should be criminally prosecuted instead of transferred and hidden in various Catholic institutions.

I'd agree but in this case willing employees of that institution have chosen to place themselves into that situation. No one has forced them to do anything.

Because the majority is always right.

The Church dosen't force anyone to do anything they don't want to do.

JFK and RFK were Democrats and Catholic. In 50 years we now have Pelosi as a Democrat and Catholic.
The left is just a tad TOO left these days.

Poor Nancy is one of the biggest fools on the hill.

That said, I don't think she's a Catholic. I'm not sure what she is, but I am pretty sure it ain't Catholic. I don't care enough to Google it.
