Vatican Proposes Dramatic Shift In Attitude Towards Gays, Same Sex Couples

[Cal33]

14. I went through parochial school all the way, even had my first year

at a Catholic university. Many of my classmates and I found some of
the Church teachings entirely ridiculous. By my late teens I was
already distancing myself from Catholicism. As soon as I left home
and started living on my own in my early 20s, I had nothing more
to do with the Church, and have remained so to date.

I think it's fair to say that I understand more about how the Catholic
Church operates than you do. Your "you choose to hide behind the
tired old 'change takes time' excuse" is nonsense.

I just added a few words to my original post: there are many rules,
regulations and traditions that must be followed for any changes in
doctrine to be made. A comparable example would be making an
amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Only, the
Catholic Church is 2,000 years old, and very likely that much more
entrenched and unwieldy in its old ways.
