    The Catholic Church has become a very ugly right-wing political pressure group.

    The catholic church is slowly dying and like those species that can not adapt to change, they wither, dry up and die and become extinct.

    Yeah, not as long as the people who realize how fucked up their Church is nonetheless keep going back every Sunday, begging to participate and filling the collection plates.

    In my opinion, this is what the church does to people by feeding them the dogma and continuing the rhetoric of the church. It seems to put the parishioners on "automatic-pilot" and they stop thinking and just continue going through the motions depositing their money in the plates or baskets to perpetuate the hate machine.

    "I will be there on Sunday. I am a Catholic."

    Two step back
