"It was bull (expletive)," O'Brien said on Monday. "I don't have to listen to this bull (expletive) anymore. I've been a practicing Catholic all my life. I'm not going to be anything else. I thought it was an insult. I know what's been going on."

"O'Brien, a member of Voice of the Faithful, a reform advocacy group, anticipates the church is not going to let up trying to defeat the bill. She said she would continue going to Mass - noting that attendance at her parish is on the decline.

"'They say we are so afraid we won't be able to help the poor," she said. "Give me a break. They could care less about the poor. I've seen so many people get hurt by their refusal to do anything.'"

It must be tough living in a binary world.
