Catholics are just as hypocritical as the other religions. Contraception is not allowed but the vast majority of US Catholics of child-bearing age use it and see no problem with it.
On a side note, I've noticed that it's often atheists that know far more about religion and its teachings than the religious.
Aye it is. And yeah, I just think the fact that so many Catholics don't follow Church teaching exposes the fact that the member numbers Catholics in the Church boast about are nonsense since probably less than 10% of those identified as Catholic actually practice.
Well, I've noticed that when it comes to Catholics, even those who practice don't delve as deeply into Church history (especially the medieval church) and Church teaching as I have; it's eye-opening.
