In fact, some of them even supported Gallileo as far back as 50 years ago, when he was still considered an ex-communicated heretic for suggesting the Earth was not the center of the universe. Most Catholics I know recognize that the faith lags light years behind the times on many issues.
But, hey, who's for a rousing rendition of "Every Sperm Is Sacred"?

Good point, TL. I have known many of one faith or another that do not hold to every principle taught by the leaders of that faith. I think Kerry will get some votes from Catholics.
