I understand that it is fashionable to be anti-Catholic now because the Catholic Church runs counter to modern culture. It is fearless in speaking out against abortion, contraception, pre-marital sex, homosexuality, pornography, divorce, and a host of other things that our modern culture holds near and dear. (Things that we are being taught to “tolerate” by the media, by the way). It requires discipline from its faithful, and modern people do not like being told what to do. We like to be our own boss. We like to be freewheeling. It is all about me, me, me. This makes the Catholic Church a very easy target. If you were to rely on pop culture, as a practicing Catholic, I am more fringe now than a purple haired mohawk sporting homosexual with mutliple partners who practices scientology... lol.. it's pretty funny.. So be it..
