I went to church(Catholic) on Sunday...a divisive issue came up.. [View All]

Yep...churchgoers were invited to join "40 Days of Life" which included activities like "holding a vigil outside the Planned Parent abortion clinic" and other things not mentioned.

Then they went on to say this will help women in crisis pregnancies and promote "life."

Oddly this wasn't a fiery speech or anything just a guy reading announcement of monthly activities. I'm sure it was something handed down by the bishops.

The part that really bothers me is how they can expect people to want to church when they bring up such a divisive and uncomfortable issue. It's almost like they want to fuel animosity.

I was raised to believe a church should promote unity.

Another example is this ultra-conservative guy at church was selected to give a talk about faith to 8th grade school kids and he launched into a speech about abortion and how his son faced persecution because he was arrested for blocking a clinic.

I'm tired of that self righteous nuttiness.
