Apologetics

I don't know what your situation is like, but if you're like me, you are sick to death of hearing (chiefly from Catholics who would like to find an excuse not to believe the Church in these matters) the absurd weasel line that the Catholic Church doesn't really teach that abortion and contraception are immoral and that same-sex marriage is not marriage, because (they claim), those are only the opinions of a conservative faction who would like to represent their opinions as Church doctrine.

Thanks to Amy Welborn, I heard something that you almost certainly won't hear about on the news.  A Catholic university professor in Wisconsin wrote some pamphlets arguing that very thing and sent copies to all the bishops in the US.  As a result, his bishop made public statements to the effect that the content of these pamphlets is not the teaching of the Church and is in fact contrary to the Church's faith, and the USCCB issued a detailed and unequivocal statement which is intended to "clarify the Church's faith and teaching for all of the Catholic faithful throughout the United States."

As a layman who loves the Church's faith, thank you, Eminencies and Excellencies.

It's about time. The anti-Catholic Catholics are getting downright silly with this stuff.
