Nah, the Catholic church is doing just fine and is not the government of Ireland. Their decision, while sad, reflected more the situation which allowed same sex unions, but allowed those unions no benefits whatsoever...If you're going to allow those unions, then give them the same advantages that marriage incurs...rights to speak for the other person, rights of inheritance, hospital visitation rights....that type of thing. This would have NEVER happened if that had been the case.
IF the current (and probably last elected Pope) pope is any indication of the health of Cathoplicism, then I see a sickness growing. I’m not surprised when many Catholics cannot see it, forest and trees thingy yaknow. But I know born again Catholics who are grieving in their hearts for where Catholicism is being waltz off to.
