John Nolte of Big Hollywood just blogged about Anne Rice's decision to reject the teachings of the Catholic Church after her recent conversion to Catholicism.
Nolte quotes the following from her facebook page:
I quit being a Christian. I’m out. In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life. In the name of Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen.
One scratches one's head. Feminism, democracy, humanism, science, and life are all compatible with Christianity. One might even say that Christianity spawned their modern incarnations.
I can't quite see how one could possibly be pro-gay and pro-artificial birth control in the name of Christ, though. It's a bit like saying you are Muslim for the sake of Krishna, or attracted to Lutheranism because of Calvin.
