Actually I have. And history can be manipulated.

And I can't tell you how many cradle Catholics I have met that don't even know the first thing about Catholic doctrine..including my own father.

Find another church if it upsets some so much. Why is this so hard to grasp? I guess some need to whine and cry about everything THEY deem as not fair. Waaaaaaaaaa

Well it's about protected classes vs religious rights.

But how is someone having their rights violated (as a protected class) simply because they can't be an altar server?

These people just want any excuse to hate, openly bash, and leave the RCC....if not this, it would have been something else. They are complainers and whiners who have no idea what it means to be Catholic, cradle or not.

I wasn't supporting anyone, I was just explaining why people might be whining.

Personally, I think the whiners and complainers are almost as ridiculous as Catholics in general. But that's not being discussed here.

I know. I was serious. I really don't see the correlation.

Christian religions have been the seed for bigotry, sexism, prejudice, and intolerance for thousands of years. This is just one more example.

A organized religion is a cult. Just because they are larger than most cults, have more members, and make more money doesn't make them not a cult.

Meanwhile the Lefties that are whining about this will lend all the support needed to Islamic Theocracies that KILL people over religion. Such duped wet brains it isn't even sad OR funny anymore.
