Subject: RE: BS: The Pope's Survey
No. Still somewhat confused. Must be me who's thick. Look on the bright side, at least I tried. Some of Grishka's contributions on other threads, my eyes begin to glaze over after the first sentence.

I am sure that services in the Catholic churches aren't obsessed with sex if those of you in the know say they aren't. But in the context of this thread, the church is asking its members questions to, amongst other things, work on its image.

Ask many non Catholics about the image and you will find it is about opposing contraception, telling young boys not to be tempted to masturbate and accommodating Anglican clergy whose misogyny precludes them to work for a woman.

The reality of the day to day work of a local church gets drowned in the message. And to be honest, as Joe keeps pointing out, the centre is far more conservative than the Joe Offers of this world.




Sorry for contributing whilst the grown ups are around Grishka. I am sure you will find plenty of schoolboy errors in that which you can point out for the amusement of. Err.. The teachers warn you not to amuse yourself. .....
