Yes, the Church has definite shortcomings when dealing with gays--although it lacks the rabid hatred you hear from our own Religious Right. And the status of women is badly in deed of updating. Let's not discuss this when it's much easier to say "Ratzi the Nazi."

I fell away from the Church years ago because of the not-believing-in-God thing. If I still believed, I'd be a noisy Catholic.

Of course, this would have met no big monetary reward in future years!
