Well, you edited them very curiously.

Why do you not want to respond? What is so objectionable about what I said?

And cyn, I think you know me well enough to know that I don't toss off statements like this lightly. But it doesn't take much observation to notice that very many and I will even go so far as to say most Catholics do not believe or adhere to the policies and restrictions handed down by the Vatican. Therefore, I don't understand the continuing hegemony that the Vatican holds over the church. I didn't set out to offend anyone, but sometimes offense is unavoidable.

And the issue is not black and white, so let's not pretend that roachboy and I are trying to make it that way. Of course education is important. But so is keeping people safe today. What is black and white is the Vatican's stance on sex and birth control.
