Then why worry?

 

[BDBoop]

People starting threads = worrying?

He is not even a priest.

 

[BDBoop]

Nope. Did you read the article? He speaks of birth control as 'life prevention.'

 

[uscitizen]

He is an advertising man.

Nuttier than a fruitcake and about as likely to end up running things as Sunni Man.

Next?

In what sense?

I was just struck by how he holds such high ideals, but apparently has no intention of separating church & state.

He certainly does not intend to separate church and state. He clearly dreams of a time when our government will fall into step with Catholic orthodoxy, where the President, Congress and Courts are dictated to by the Vatican. I think it is important to understand that when he says "Christian" he means "Catholic". However, given that the vast majority of American Catholics, let alone the rest of Christianity and non-Christianity, in this country does not agree with him. In fact, it is possible the only religious group which might agree with him with any consistency would be Islamic - and I'm not sure about that. So I don't think we are in any danger of that becoming a major issue for us.

I believe we can continue to focus efforts (for those so inclined) upon the real issue of maintaining women's right to control their own bodies without governmental interference.

Good point on the 'christian v catholic, vatican' front.

You're quoting someone who no one knows and will never have power as though he is a serious leader.

 

[BDBoop]

Well, apparently so. My bad. I'd ask for the thread to be removed, but it will just die.

 

[Mr Natural]

Everything's wrong with that picture.

 

[BDBoop]

Everything's wrong with that picture.

Yes, but not to worry. Apparently, he's a nameless, faceless nobody who represents no one. Certainly not the Catholic church.

Pretty scary stuff....as I've said...that kind of christianity is only the other side of the coin from islam.
