I just think you were assigning thoughts and opinions to C_L that she hasn't actually stated or that she's fully denied, either in this thread or in others. You can lump all Catholics in together if you really want, but their beliefs aren't all exactly the same, like whether Genesis is literal or not. I'm not sure, but I think I remember C_L saying she wouldn't vote against bodily autonomy, but we'd have to ask her to make sure.

Now (and once again) it's you who are straw-manning me. I did not say CL would vote politically against bodily autonomy, but it's a fact that she has stated she believes abortion is wrong. It's also a fact (just ask her) that she has stated she accepts, without cherry-picking, the teachings of the Vatican, of which it can be presumed collects her tithe money. This may not be direct support of anti-abortion laws, but it is certainly a manner of support for every evil thing which bad Catholic political action organizations and bad priests, bishops and cardinals do.
I'm not strawmanning you. You asked this:
Quote:CL says she doesn't want to force Catholic Law on other people, and I believe her. But do you think this means she would object to those who do work to undermine bodily autonomy rights every day in places States such as Texas? Naturally, this would be something altogether different than just being quiet about it in your pew, but if you patronize Frankie's church with your money, then you support what he does with it all the same.
(bold mine)
I was just answering what I thought her answer would be. Again: I agree with you on objective morality.
