Joe... "So, please don't paint the Catholic interests with such a dark brush. They're far less doctrinaire and far less moralistic than some people assume them to be."

Yer preachin to the choir, but the problem is the non-Cat'lic choir are singing too loud ta hear yee.

I liken it to sommat that don't sit well with some... once, when one a them there front door visits took place with a couple a them there holierthanthous, I said, "Good thing I'm a black Irish Cat'lic and am more tolerant of your religion than you are of mine on accounta if us Cat'lics were as fuckamental as yee, there wouldn't be none a yees."

They looked dumfounded when I shut the door on them. But, that's to be expected when you deal with the brain dead.

I suppose it's better that the brain dead are into mindless religion rather than out in the streets aimlessly but I really don't wanna be bothered with them at my door.

As for the guy in the fancy hat condoning condom use in some cases, only anti-Cat'lics will shit on that. Cat'lics have been using condoms since they were invented. Only devout Cat'lics don't. And, if they are devout Cat'lics, there is no problem. If you argue that one, you really don't understand what the man in the pointy hat is saying.
