In reply to the discussion: White House May Look to Compromise on Contraception Decision. [View all]vaberella
(24,634 posts)I think people have forgotten something. The Catholic Church has it's own rules and regulations. Anti- contraception, birth control, abortion, and homosexuals is their thing. That is the Church. The church is it's own heirarchy and system of politics and drama. They have a massive lobby. While they can barely keep their schools going they will try to inforce their religious doctrine politically. Shit they don't even need money to do it.
However, I find that most Catholics are liberals. Well I'm from New York so that could be why. I have heard some Catholics from the south are frightening. In any event catholic people don't control what the Catholic Church does. The only person really even advocating taking back the Church is Sinead O'Connor the other followers ignore the church's politics by and large.
So while people say this or that about polls they've seen of the Catholic people. Keep in mind the people have no authority over what the Church leaders decree. So I understand very well why there may be a compromise.
