The SCOTUS ruling makes the Irish debate seem small in comparison.Maolsheachlannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406722311993627528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-3936199242326538322015-07-12T23:19:57.038-07:002015-07-12T23:19:57.038-07:00The Catholic Church's response to Ireland'...The Catholic Church's response to Ireland's referendum is disappointing. Here in the States USCCB issued a similar letter to the Catholics after SCOTUS ruled in favor. Too little too late. I have concluded the Church has grown lazy in its dealings with morality - they do not act with pace but are reactionary - showing like an absent father only when their kid gets into trouble at school, and that the Catholic culture amongst its laymen is broken. I will also say I am disappointed in Pope Francis. Not a word from him about either country. GoldRush Applehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04672912751538200761noreply@blogger.com
