    You can't be a deeply religious Catholic and support abortion. You just can't.

    Yes, you can. You're just not a deeply obedient Catholic.

    'Deeply religious' doesn't mean you have to agree with everything.

    I was only joking

        Ah yes, and Catholics are very adept at pointing this out to their own. Judgmentally, completely unasked, and because the Church has no intention of altering its position on this, it's also completely pointless. Catholic Asperger's.

        But unlike those afflicted with Asperger's, these Catholics never seek help for it. And as a result they remain intolerable boors. Not for what they believe, but with their complete disregard for how they come off, favoring the Bible instead of the very point of its existence. "Love thy neighbor" definitely includes how not to sound like a self-righteous assclown and navigate these issues politely.

        Please love yourself.

              Actually that would just make you a sinner, of which there are plenty.

              And the correct term is "support killing and mutilating babies"

                      Nope. I know plenty of Catholics, absolutely plenty, who think their righteousness exempts them from developing social graces. I don't understand why that is. Quite obviously it's unnecessary. How many rape victims have you browbeaten about having an abortion? I'm guessing none, ever.

                          I assume "developing social graces" means that they should never ever say anything that might conflict with your worldview. Maybe killing and mutilating babies is a practice that conflicts with theirs.

                            All of which nonsense about righteousness is just a smokescreen over my original point - you cannot support abortion and call yourself a 'deeply religious Catholic'.

                              To my mind, believing in the divinity of Christ is a bridge further than believing that abortion is murder.

                              Education is extremely important.

                                      You can be very religious (strong devotion and belief in a higher power) and not be down with abortions. But you know what I mean so if we disagree, fine.

                                      My point about righteousness wasn't a smokescreen. I think it's far more important than arguing over what Catholicism teaches about abortion, which isn't the least bit ambiguous. The social messaging problem causes harm to others where it exists, and it's fixable, so I think they should try.

                                      Please love yourself.
