Isn't liberty and freedom job one for the conservative crowd. And yet, some are willing to follow a Pope or Bishop or priest without question. Why do conservatives believe in freedom and liberty for the individual and yet subject themselves to a collective, and an Authoritarian Church?
Oh, so now we can't choose which, if any, religion to follow?
Certainly you can. But your tendency to outsource your thinking, accept opinions telegraphed from the pulpit, and engage in groupthink and collectivism is certainly at odds with the impressive posting history you've racked up of snide remarks accusing others of exactly that.
The good news is, the Pope has said health care access is an inalienable right and that "Justice in health care should be a priority of governments and international institutions," so you still have plenty of opportunities to put party before your Church and demonstrate your, ah, "independence."
Good thing I am not Catholic, isn't it? That means you have no way to try and attack my beliefs based on what other people say.
By the way, Catholics do not outsource anything. There is not a single teaching of the modern church that tells people not to think for themselves. Unlike Islam, they actually caught up to the 21st century.
