TheUnknown 39 Posted May 27, 2004 Okay, new topic. For those who don't know, Democratic Presidential canddiate is a Roman Catholic. He also supports abortion rights and gay civil unions. Recently, some more conservative Catholics, including some clergymen. have began saying that Catholic politicians who support things such as abortion rights, gay rights, stem cell research, etc, things the Catholic church has condemned. aren't real Catholics and neither are Catholics who support candidates who support those things aren't either. Some have even tried to deny them communion. Translation: Catholics can't vote Democratic. However, the church has also condemned the death penalty and the war in Iraq. So, wouldn't Catholics not be able to vote Republican either? What do you think? By the way, it's ironic that now it's a political issue when a Catholic isn't Catholic ENOUGH. JFK, who was also Catholic, had to fight the notion that he was TOO Catholic and would be the Pope's pawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted May 27, 2004 lol, now that is why I think some religions have gone too far. Following a faith shouldn't be so restrictive, it should allow people to make their own choices, and have their own opinions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted May 27, 2004 That's one of the problems with Catholicism...the more "conservative" members, that is. Protestant...ism (I guess, lol) is quite a bit more leanient (sp?) in most respects. For example...I could go to my church in a T-shirt and shorts if I wanted to and it wouldn't be blasphemy, lol.

chozen 1 Posted July 9, 2004 lol, now that is why I think some religions have gone too far. Following a faith shouldn't be so restrictive, it should allow people to make their own choices, and have their own opinions. Well... Since the purpose of all major religions were to keep people under cotnrol. eh As for voting, I believe that it's a personal decision between you and God.

Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted July 9, 2004 lol, now that is why I think some religions have gone too far. Following a faith shouldn't be so restrictive, it should allow people to make their own choices, and have their own opinions. Well... Since the purpose of all major religions were to keep people under cotnrol. i think most major religions in the US allow poeple to make their own decisions. granted, the Muslim faith has pretty strict rules and guidelines, but here in America, it's not legal to shoot your daughter for showing a bit of ankle. Mormons have some pretty strict standards as well, but consequences for not adhering to them tend to hit on a more personal level. dress like a hooker, you may get cat-called. get drunk, you run the risk of alcohol poisoning or a serious car crash if you were stupid enough to drive in that condidtion. smoke, and eventually you could end up like my grandpa who's dying of lung cancer. sure, it's strict, but no one's hanging over my head to make me do it. i follow it so that i don't have to face the consequences like those who don't.
