And we don't judge the church for what happened hundreds of years ago.
We are looking at what's happening NOW.
The mass cover ups of child abuse, the crap about condoms, the stance against homosexuals, in fact all the crap that the church is spewing out right now.
It this context I could ask you the same thing:
What is a race without people in it?
The only one I agree with that should have stopped a hell of a long time ago is the child abuse. THATS it. You really think that because of the stance on birth control there is more STDs? Heck, STD rates are lower in Catholic dominated countrys! To fr0d0: I think that even if you disagree then that is no reason to split the faith and makes us weaker as religion. Have you read the bible from ancient greek? Or Latin for that matter? Modern translation is kinda decieving.
