This article, and the topic of this post, is that the British parliment has introduced gay marriage, but has exempted the Anglican church in England.

So your comment on who Catholics voted for in America is a complete non-sequitor. It either due to your desire to take a pot-shot at Catholics or you didn’t read the article.

I can’t help it if you didn’t read the article, so I’ll address your ignorance on the Catholic vote.

Back in America, the majority of practicing Catholics voted for Romney. Practicing white Catholics voted overwhelmingly for Romney.

A non-practicing Catholic might call themselves a “Catholic”, but if they don’t practice the faith, then they’re really not Catholic. A non-practicing Catholic has either chosen a path of apathy or has chosen to distance themselves from actual Catholic policy. It is thus entirely inappropriate to associate how non-practicing Catholics vote with Catholic church policy (like what the Catholic Church sanctions as marriage).

Many liberal journalists like to lump non-practicing Catholics in with real Catholics to push their agenda that Catholics are democrats. Don’t fall for it.

I can see your point, but it is not just happening in Briton it is also happening here, and the problem is still the same regardless of where it is.

In general this is not about Briton, if it was just about Briton it would really be none of our business.


A non-practicing Catholic might call themselves a “Catholic”, but if they don’t practice the faith, then they’re really not Catholic.

If some one is practicing the faith or not depends on the individuals understanding of the faith,

Also i was including not only people who call them selves Catholic but also the daughters of the Catholic Church which includes most other denominations.


here is a scripture that should be read by any Church who think that they are the only true Church.

Luke 9:46-56

[46]
An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.
47]
Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.
[48]
Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all — he is the greatest.”

[49]
“Master,” said John, “we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”

[50]
“Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

The Christian people make up the Church, so the Church can only be as good as the people, even in the early Church the leaders tried to keep the false believers out, today they are not even trying to keep them out because if they do they are losing money.

Members of the early Church were faithful believers, the ones who were not were only the congregation who came to learn, now in most Churches any child can become a member of a Church.

At any rate, how is the news media supposed to know who is practicing the faith and who is not, and how could you believe them any way?

Supposedly about 70 percent of Americans are Christian, but the polls at an election shows other wise.
