Each dollar spent fighting pot legalization or gay marriage is one less dollar that could be spent feeding a hungry child.  I hope they at least consider this at their meetings.

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.

FTR I wasn't thinking of Rastafarianism so much as quoting one of the verses that's been understood to speak on this "issue."  (I think my views on pot are painfully established here at this point, but I'm not quite of the opinion that the Bible takes a stance on it one way or the other.)

But I echo the sentiments of Wulfric, BRTD, Enduro, Nix, and Nathan.  Obviously I'm already against the RCC's position; I would not want to be in a church that diverts money and resources to BS issues like this among other things.  I do tire of the "wrong side of history" argument though because it quite obviously has no bearing on the inherent wrongness or rightness of something.
