Many are unable to understand let alone accept the philosophical and theological foundations on which such a statement rests. <br /><br />From some 2,000 years of teaching and experience, the Church speaks here to a cultural landscape which achieved its present state within the short span of the lifetime of many who are reading this comment.<br /><br />Whether or not one agrees with the Church's stand here, few, I hope, would, upon reflection, deny the Church its right to present its case to the public and to those who make the law of the land. <br /><br />It's easy to demean those who disagree with us and attempt, with throw-away comments, to rebut lengthy, reasoned and carefully stated arguments. Such comments do not lead to dialogue or better understanding of the issues. <br /><br />The simple reality is that I don't have the time (here or off-line) to manage where such exchanges inevitably lead so I'm closing the comments on this post.Concord Pastorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18322127779647130869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-43175450663200595452010-05-27T17:01:38.081-04:002010-05-27T17:01:38.081-04:00The Catholic Church can be so mean spirited and th...The Catholic Church can be so mean spirited and they couch it in their legalistic minutiae.
