Yes actually, it sounds like a lot less stress. I don't think they would want me. Coming up with Natural Law. Dying for the church I guess? Finding a watch that one time. No, you have to make good with the person you hurt. Only if you mean it. Yes, that's the point, isn't it? No, it's just meaningless. Yes, every year! Once or twice, it was actually cool. Once, and it was so dull. Of course not. Yes, I wake up early. Only if I'm up. I usually miss it.
I don't know what that is. Nope, that's against the rules. Only if someone gives it to me. Only once in a while. Of course, why wouldn't I?
Because you're going to shake a lot of hands during the Sign of the Peace. Because you don't know who else has been in there. Because you DO know who else has been in there. You shouldn't, you can just clean your hands in the font - right?
Of course, or they will go to hell. Of course, I'll never hear the end of it otherwise. No, it's a silly ritual. It's evil. It's against the rules, technically, but I use it. It's actually within the rules because having back-to-back babies is bad for your health and the babies' health. It's a personal choice and no God worth the name cares if you use it. Yes, every year I give up many things. Nothing huge, but yes. Chocolate, and I slipped.

It's inevitable for the survival of the church. It's theologically impossible, because Jesus chose only men to be his apostles. Jesus never intended to found an ordained priesthood, so the question is irrelevant. About priestly celibacy, I think:.
It's a hard rule, but it allows the priest to devote himself unselfishly to God and to his parishioners. It should be optional, but as in the Eastern churches, priests should not be allowed to marry after ordination.
It should be optional, and ordained priests should be allowed to marry. Priests should be encouraged to marry, so as to be able to relate to their married parishioners. My favorite kind of church design is:. Very traditional, with plenty of stained glass and statues. Neo-traditional, with just a few tasteful statues or mosaics. In the round, so everyone can feel close to the altar.
With minimal decoration, so the focus will be on the worshipping community. My opinion of the Second Vatican Council is:. It was long overdue, and its changes still haven't been fully implemented. The church was ripe for some changes, but liberals have taken them too far. There are theological reasons for arguing that it was not a true ecumenical council. It didn't go far enough; we need a Third Vatican Council.

It is a grave moral wrong, but a woman's decision to abort should be honored except in extreme cases, such as late-term abortion. It is a grave moral wrong, but women have a right to make their own choices without restriction. It can be a moral decision under some circumstances and so should not be restricted.
When Catholic politicians or holders of public office take a position at variance with church teaching on such issues as abortion, Catholic bishops should:.
Declare them excommunicated and withhold communion from them. Publicly condemn them but not deny them communion. Privately reprove but not publicly embarrass them. Do nothing, as any action would interfere with separation of church and state.
On the issue of gay priests, I believe:.
