(77,162 posts)And i get the pre-Vat II nutjob movement. But, that's not the preponderance of catholics who have had the reputation of being "cafeteria" types for a really long time. They believe the parts they want to believe, they adhere to the dictates they fell like sticking with.
While i agree with the invasion of these regressive types in Gov't, i still think it's a very small minority. And, unless one is a rich person and is making big money from donors, and a cushy political gig, people won't have more kids they simply can't afford because they are trying to be "good catholics". My sister still consider herself catholic. (Barely goes to church though, so, see what i mean?) But, after daughter two, that was it. The very idea of a third was anathema.
Same with my "brosins" spouse. (Brother is brother/cousin. Cousin who grew up in our house when his parents died when he was 10.) After the son, no interest in more babies. And they actually still go to church, though my brosin works odd hours and he doesn't go out of his way to attend if it's work inconvenient. (See what i mean again?)
Thanks for the reply.
