Long live the Pope...
Well, we now know who the selfish in this country are. And the rest of the world can see it now also. These so called Liberal Catholics. I happen to think liberal in general is the problem, but for the sake of this topic, we'll focus on the Catholics.
Yesterday a new Pope was chosen. Every news story that has covered his selection has had some whiny Catholic crying about how this Pope is probably not going to "reform the church".
Reform the church??? The Catholic Church is an institution that is centuries old. And for the most part, it has been run the same way, taught the same things... and most Catholics have no problem with that, even are attracted to that. They are not the ones that need to change...
But because of how selfish we have become as Americans, we now expect something that has existed for that long to just up and change every time a new fad comes along... Being gay, abortions, birth control, divorce, etc... these things are not acceptable to the Catholic Church.
Deal with it!
Why should the Catholic Church change? Or "reform"? Why don't all those people who believe in those things, and think they are perfectly acceptable change, and leave the friggen church???
I'm sick of people who think they can live however they want, do whatever they want, and expect everyone else to "reform" and change their beliefs to accomodate them.
If I don't believe being gay is acceptable, and I want to belong to a church who also doesn't believe being gay is acceptable, that's as much my right as it is for you to be gay. We shouldn't have to change everything we have worked for and believe in, so you can fit in as a member. It is what it is, don't be gay, or don't be a member.
Now, I don't belong to the Catholic Church, and I do believe all those things are acceptable. If someone wants to get an abortion, fine. I don't really care. Want to be gay? Be friggen gay. But that's the life you choose, and it's wrong to expect anyone else to change how they live, and what they believe in, to accept that if they don't want to.
The majority rules in this world. Until the majority of Catholics want to accept being gay, and having abortions, and killing people who can't feed themselves, those things are not going to be acceptable in the Catholic Church.
Deal with it, or leave the church. Is that so hard? No, but it does require not being selfish. And apparently Americans aren't capable of not being selfish...

I agree;
No one expects them to stop being gay, or stop having abortions, so why should they expect everyone else to change.
Being Canadian, I see a lot of change - especially now with the gay marriages.
Small changes are being made to accomodate them - but to change the doctrines of the Catholic Church?
Mission Impossible.
Good ending Bond...
