Catholic Teaching Moment

The incumbent archbishop’s laying down the law has radicalized Catholic high school students, teachers and many lay people. The official teachings of the church on homosexuality, birth control, abortion and hierarchical power were proclaimed clearly by the archbishop. Now many Catholics newly see the narrow, restrictive and hostile laws of that church. The archbishop has done the members a favor by dramatizing the cruel effects of the teachings of the church. Many of the members are rightly questioning the church’s laws.
