Typical knee jerk Catholic reaction.
In EVERY area that makes the Catholic church look rightfully bad, the poor, persecuted, misunderstood church is well, misunderstood.
You see, what the Catholic church says and what it means are ALWAYS two different things.
They need to hire some people who are more literate and can SAY what they MEAN instead of saying what they say and telling everyone else who reads the plain meaning of what is said that they are wrong.
“They need to hire some people who are more literate and can SAY what they MEAN instead of saying what they say and telling everyone else who reads the plain meaning of what is said that they are wrong”
Hopefully there are more literate than functionally illiterate on this boards.
