The Crystal Cathedral will add to that, it is definitely not a “garage” church.

How does chemically induced sterility preserve life?

Catholic teaching is clear regarding abortion and contraception. Protestantism? Not so much.

Why did every Protestant denomination change its position regarding contraception since the Lambeth Conference, less than 100 years ago. Did the Bible change? Or did they?

Interesting the things we see on these threads, Catholic voting for the entire democrat agenda is of no interest or concern, in fact seems very defensible on this thread.

The Christians who vote against that, are to be savaged.

Don’t be eager to dismiss good Christians voting AGAINST abortion and to preserve life, in defense of people voting FOR abortion and the entire radical left, anti-God agenda.

No defense for it, I know. I wouldn’t want to defend contraception it either.

If you want to know what the Church teaches about abortion and contraception, and has taught for over 2000 years, it’s easy to find.

What we need are faithful Catholics, not more Christians groping around in the dark.

That is your defense of the Catholic denomination’s support of the democrat party, democrats want to ban contraception and the Catholic voters are flocking to that and rejecting the republicans and all other parties because they haven’t taken a stand against contraception?

Call me doubtful.

What I already know is that the pro-life/pro-marriage movement and all conservatism is doomed, as long as Catholic voters are immigrating by the millions.

Why people claiming to be pro-life and conservative want MORE democrats is baffling.

For those of you saying this is due to illegal immigration .... perhaps in some areas but not all. I’ve seen my parish grow from about 1,000 families to 5,000+ in just 10 years. No illegal immigrants ... but we do have some legal ones from Africa and Asia. Mostly though we are middle class white folk.

Just Hispanics alone comprise 71 percent of Catholic population growth since 1960, according to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
