That makes me feel physically ill.

This is just one of many reasons why I could never ever support the church again. It's basically a hate group.

Woooooooooooooooooooow.

[holytoastr.livejournal.com]

I consider the church to be a very large, well-organized hate group.

Things like this certainly don't help people think otherwise.

Ugh, I was almost sure the Vatican would reverse the decision but I guess not. How awful. -_-

I didn't think for one instance that the vatican would reverse the situation. Remember who we are talking about here.

On the plus side, excommunication doesn't actually hurt the people involved.

It hurts them if they thought they were faithful Catholics and needed emotional support after all the crap they've been through (especially the mother), for a lot of religious people their church is a huge support network in their lives and that's just been yanked away. But on the other hand, I suppose if the church is going to condemn her for saving her daughter's life maybe she will feel better off kicked out anyway. *sigh*

If the church is going to abandon them when they need the support the most, then the church was never there for them to begin with.

I guess that's true, sadly. The whole thing is really frustrating me, on the one hand religions should be allowed to follow their beliefs... on the other, this really really makes me angry. When I see religions doing more harm than good I wish governments would take off the PC gloves but... then they get called on religious discrimination. I really do think a lot of the Catholic Church's stances, policies, and actions are just... evil, but I don't necessarily think the same of the average Catholic churchgoer.

Really you can't trust any organization that claims they know what a giant omnipotent being in the sky thinks and wants.

(This is me keeping the PC gloves on. I don't think very highly of "the average churchgoer" either.)

That's absolutely disgusting. And I can't help feeling angry at the mother for allowing the abuse to go on for so long.

The Catholic church's self-righteousness is really infuriating.
