But that's personal issues of the clergy and whatnot involved. It's not doctrine Cannoli Send a noteboard - 13/11/2010 02:20:38 AM
And, IIRC, this Pope, like his predecessor, is opposed to capital punishment. But, strangely, I have yet to have a visit from the Inquisition ordering me to adjust my beliefs to align with that of the popes. Too bad, because I'd love to get some autographs.

They routinely protest against every single execution, I believe - or at least every time I hear about someone on death row, there seems to be a condemnation from Rome.

Does Spain distinguish between secular and sacramental marriage? - 08/11/2010 01:10:47 AM 970 Views
I would assume so, but can't say for sure. - 08/11/2010 10:27:01 AM 910 Views

I'm more looking forward to how the Texans affirm their support for the institution like Spain - 09/11/2010 11:36:16 PM 786 Views
The Catholic Church as a whole is opposed to capital punishment, and is fairly vocal about it. - 09/11/2010 11:55:18 PM 7246 Views

Referring to the 1930s and then talking of re-evangelization is a rather painful gaffe, I must say. - 07/11/2010 09:13:19 PM 899 Views

And here come the ad hominem attacks. - 08/11/2010 09:32:23 PM 929 Views
No, it's more like a boss firing an employee and then bitching about them leaving. *NM* - 08/11/2010 10:43:56 PM 482 Views
Except we're not ordering them to leave. - 09/11/2010 12:46:46 AM 902 Views
