Do you or do you not continue to support a church & religion that has condoned for hundreds of years the violence, abuse, kidnappings that the catholic church has perpetrated and continues? You've decided to take the hide behind the skirt line of arguement with petty attacks on those that call you out on it. Typical.
Flashback, what difference does it make where I go to church? I don't concern myself with your believes. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
On the one hand, I don't see how the Papal matters of anyone not Catholic matters. On the other hand, if the Catholic church has deep influence on our politics, policies, (abortion, gay marriage,), then it is a concern of everyone. Politics was born of religion.
Shadow, I have matters that are in conflict with my church, thus I do not receive communion. However I still attend weekly and am a member. As far as abortion goes, that is the law of the land. As far as marriage goes, the states have the right to make marriage laws. Again the law of the land in each state. As far as the pedophiles go, I would castrate them all and form a choir with them. Anything else you need from me.
Spanish society has been shaken by allegations of the theft and trafficking of thousands of babies by nuns, priests and doctors, which started under Franco and continued up to the 1990s.

The scandal is closely linked to the Catholic Church, which under Franco assumed a prominent role in Spain's social services including hospitals, schools and children's homes.

Lawyers believe that up to 300,000 babies were taken.

The Catholic church does hold some influence over the issues I mentioned. I know, b/c I also attend mass.
