Good thing most of the US christians don't follow Catholicism... otherwise they would have a damn hard time reconciling this with "atheists are devil worshipers".

Call me cynical, but nothing indicates to me that this is anything more than a PR attempt to soften the Catholic church's intolerant image.

Actions speak louder than words.

Good point - there was a similar attempt at PR improvement about the Catholic Church taking a tougher stance on the whole priests molesting children thing. Nothing came off it.

Now my existence has been validated by the Pedo-infested, world-wide global crime organization that is the Catholic Church, my life is complete!

Praise the FSM and pass the linguine.

Now now, don't you atheists and anti-theists get yourselves all flushed with thrills of excitement, do you not yet know that catholics are de facto pagan polytheists .
