Yeah, Frogprince, I think you're trying to make a point, but I don't get it yet. Please expland (mixing explain & expand should do the trick).

You know, it might be a good idea for everybody to have a broader view of morality. I know plenty of religious people who take a very narrow view of morality - they seem to think it has to do with other people's sexual conduct (not their own, of course), and not much else. Oh, except abortion - that's an important issue to them as long as they're not the one who's pregnant. They can tend to get irritated if they are told that morality should have an impact on their business decisions, that cheating a customer or oppressing an employee can be far more immoral than fornication. Plenty of Catholic Republican politicians (and some Democrats) got irritated with Pope Francis when he questioned their attitudes toward the poor, toward other nations, toward global warming and the ecology, and toward warfare and capital punishment. The Catholic Church has been moving steadily toward a pacifist, anti-capitalist stance and complete opposition to capital punishment. That makes a lot of Catholics, particularly American Catholics, very nervous. Whatever position you take on these issues, it's clear that they are moral issues that may well be far more important than sexual conduct - and the Catholic Church expends a lot effort teaching about these issues, far more than it does on sexuality.

Steve Shaw, I'm having a hard time understanding your definition of morality. Please explain.

Is there a difference between morality and ethics? I don't think so, but I'm sure some will disagree. Why?
