105. That's like me saying "Why I won't let up on America"
because I absolutely despise Bush.

Bush doesn't represent America. The Catholic hierarchy doesn't represent Catholics. Can someone please understand that?!?!

I have met a total of Zero Catholic priests who actually agree with the anti-gay policy of the Church. Maybe that's because I know a bunch of good ones, and am lucky.

Just because Bush is a racist warmonger doesn't mean all Americans are racist warmongers.

Just because some Pope is a bigoted moron doesn't mean all Catholics are bigoted morons.

The leaders of both organizations do not represent the entire organization. And neither were elected democratically. Can we please refrain from the generalizations about the Catholic Church? Is that too much to ask?
