Another reason why I'm not Catholic.
So you've decided a priori that marijuana should be legal and that you won't worship in a church that teaches against that? Seems like an ass backwards way of doing religion.
It's a more general indication of misplaced priorities among Catholic leadership in the United States, which played a major role in my turning away from the church by my late teens. I doubt that this is what Enduro et al. mean, but it was certainly my initial reaction. Nathan's second paragraph is on point. I haven't felt confident about looking toward the Catholic Church and its teachings for moral coherence in a long time.
Well, this is one of the reasons, there's a lot more important reasons I don't like the Catholic Church. Mostly because of the fact that there is a pope, I don't need a pope to worship God. A pope, in my opinion, is a very unchristian thing, as if one person should be appointed above others as God's speaker. And then Catholic's practically worship him.
Anyway, rant over about the pope. My particular problem with this is that they are using donated money, that should be used to help people, to tell people what to do, and make decisions for them.
