61. My apologies then for questioning your motives.

But no...I do not get it that you too are "catholic." If you are then you are using a different definition of the word, and I think you are also at odds with how the board defines it.

But at any rate, the beliefs of Roman Catholicism are part of what this forum group is about.

I understand what the overall board rules are regarding politics, but religion is not politics, and the rules and laws we've been discussing here pertain to the Church and those within the Church. The Church has a right and a duty to say "X is a sin," whatever X may be.

To say that the Church says "X is a sin" should not be a cause for banishment from a forum, no matter how politically popular X is here. Even if I said living in Florida is a sin, it should not be a reason for Floridians to get upset and demand that the board ban me, as I have not made any political statement or expressed that Floridians should be arrested or that Floridians should be treated differently than anyone else.

According the the Catholic Church, abortion is a sin. A very serious sin. Since most here seem to support abortion rights politically, does that mean it may not be stated that the Catholic Church believes abortion is a sin?

What you are telling me is that those who believe all that the Catholic Church teaches really shouldn't be posting here, in a Catholic group, of all places.
