Dem chief: Kucinich a 'narcissist'

86. Most lay Catholics often don't know the Church's teaching and position on a lot of these

matters or if they do, ignore it. They are known as cafeteria Catholics, those who chose what they want from Church doctrine and reject the rest. The Vatican does not approve of this approach to Catholicism. Besides Scriptures and Tradition, Popes will issue Encyclicals to clarify those two sources of Church doctrine. Here is the one on birth control:

Here's the one on abortion:

When the Pope issues an encyclical, he speaks as Jesus Christ, or ex cathedra (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05677a.htm) and the pope is considered infallible when he does so. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07790a.htm

So as you can see according to Church doctrine, you really can't be pro-choice, although some Catholics do aver that they are.
