It would be nice if the USCCB could trademark "Catholic" to stop these groups from its unauthorized use.

"Young Catholics for Choice" indeed...

Heresy isn’t a particularly novel practice.

If any of them are actually baptized Catholics then EXCU them.

Particularly in regards to abortifacient contraceptives, like Plan B, it is NOT up to the Pope. The Pope can't just go about and change the position of the Church on important doctrinal matters, particularly since those doctrinal matters have been condemned by the Church since around AD 65 (when the Didache was written).

Somebody asked JPII about if the Church would ever change it's position on Womynpriests. Not only did he say no...he said that he CAN'T make that change. The same thing here with this issue. It can't be changed.

A lot of folks are confused and think that contraceptives were prohibited by Paul VI. I know...that's the way the media spun it. Well, Paul VI did not invent that doctrine. It has ALWAYS been a part of Church teaching. Paul VI, in his writing Humanae Vitae, simply confirmed and codified what the Church has always taught.

As a former Catholic I understand that. It was a joke. Sheesh.

That is exactly what should be done. Give them fair warning and if they persist excommunicate them. This so-called Catholic group is leading the faithful to Hell and should be dealt with accordingly.

Their chosen title says it all. It says exactly what they are up to. They would deny "From My mother’s womb You have been My God" Psalm 22:10.

Taking cues from Patrick kennedy is like taking cues from a goat. My Lord, but he’s dumb.

“Wisconsin group argues Catholics can use contraception in good conscience”

Um. No they can’t. There. I have spoken. It’s settled. :0)

I’m sure they say the same thing about fornication. Surely the number of married women who need to carry “emergency contraception” around is pretty limited.

I'm thinking that you and Tax-chick should pile your kids in a bus, drive up there and set these women straight!

Well, the Magisterium Self-Indulgent Monetary Holding Company (composed of Me, Myself and I) is of the opinion that everyone in America should contribute $10 to the aforementioned Company.

I'm sure I can guess the average person's opinion of the moral authority and big-picture relevance behind that pronouncement, even though I'm all in favor of it!

Just so, with these numbskulls! And I wouldn't be surprised if their actual membership numbers are on a par with my own "Company's," too!
