The Catholic press has picked it up, too:

There are hints that the current government's actions are widening a cultural rift in the church. Considering how large the Catholic church is, I'm really interested to see how this plays out.

Catholics vote red. Nothing else matters except saving the unborn babies.

I think you may be misinformed. Headline: Harris leads Trump among Catholic voters, per EWTN News/RealClear poll.

Way off. That's one poll in one election. Only 1000 people polled and they have a 3% error? They have trouble counting 1000? Look at an exit poll and it shows 15 point lead of Catholics to trump. It's all about the unborn babies.

There is zero obligation to go to a church.
But, when asshole reporters make up shit, they suddenly have a story.
Religions are conservative, especially this one. Their leader just affirmed their hate for the LGBT community publically. This is a hate church, spreading hate in their community. Religions like these are responsible for the hate that they supposedly protect their followers from.

You're up in arms asking someone if they don't like some fantasy writings ... Does rampant sexual abuse not bother you?
