No premarital sex, no birth control, no abortion, no homosexuality and no voting for any candidate who supports abortion rights or anything else the Church doesn't like.
Also, I thought clergy weren't supposed to dictate to their congregants how they should vote? If they do, they risk losing their tax-exempt status. |
Girlfriend, you said it!
Yeah I read the article...and douchebags like this are one reason why I call myself a Recovering Catholic.

Although it's really rare for a woman to be pregnant with that kind of multiples without modern medicine making it so - does the Catholic Church have a stance against fertility treatments?

Fertility treatments are a no-no, and this hits too close to home.

I'm also strongly pro-choice. If you're against abortion, fine - don't have one - but don't go telling me I can't have one.

Yeah that! And yes, I marched on Washington
