We must consider what is realistically achievable here.

I should certainly be possible to get the celibacy rule ammended, but changing the core beliefs of the Catholic Church is a different matter all together, and even if this WAS achievable,it is probably not in the interests of society.

Many of the views promoted by the Catholic Church are beneficial to the long term survival of humanity and many of the views expounded by "progressives" and "liberals" have been found to create more problems than they solve

The Church is by its very nature "conservative" and should remain so, if not it becomes simply a cult.

Some of the basic beliefs on how we can survive as a species are not and should not be up for debate.

Many here equate all conservatism with evil, but this is not the case, there is at least as much evil committed by so called "progressive" govts worldwide, as is committed in the name of religion
