Paco, whilst i see where you coming from I need to speak out about your post and offer my position.
a. i think the catholic church here, like in a billion over cases, are plain wrong. they are not following many of the teachings of the bible (like love, caring, compassion, forgiveness, helping people in trouble and so on). they often screw up this way.
b. many christians are way off the mark. im a christian, yes ive read the bible, and no i dont believe this doctor is dammed to hell over this abortion and no i dont believe the bible condems all gay people. there are many old testiment laws not applicable today (jesus said there not) and jesus said nothing, zilch, nutta about gay people even though it was rife in roman controlled areas.
c. there are twats in every society. the church has more than its fair share, granted, but i hate when people judge the faith, and worse, god himself, by certain misguided invididuals who condem others when they themselves are in no position (priests touching up boys springs to mind).
i except this story is a disgrace, but i think most RATIONAL christians who care about others, will also be saddened and angered by it. my thoughts are with the girl who has had an awfull time, and i wish the church would be there to support her not judge or condem her or those trying to help her.
i feel very strongly the will answer to god for that.
ps. this is probably the first time ive mentioned my faith. i have friends who are atheist, muslim, even pagen friends and always respect peoples faith or lack there of. i would ask the same curtesy
