Rick...a "selective" Catholic




The Catholic Church’s leader and guide “The Pope” has denounced war, has supported both universal healthcare and the need for nation’s to come together as a “family” in order to solve global warming pollution.

Catholics like “Sick Sanitarium” conveniently dismiss their own religion on these issues while focusing on sexually related topics (birth control, abortion, same sex marriage, etc...).

Why?

The Catholic Church also opposes the death penalty as they believe it to be incompatible with a 'culture of life.'

I'll have a little of this, a little of that, and I'll skip this altogether.

and ignore some of the others.. Basically, he creates his own religion and then pounds it into other people.

That's why people who form a more "spiritual" path are less rigid, more loving, and much healthier mentally. The "spirit" helps lift them up, not impose some sort of sick authoritarian guide in their lives.

Guy is nothing but a basher. Bash everything you don't personally like. He is probably the worst big government candidate going. Reminds me of that guy who was in the 88 mix.
