Pope Paul VI was right...

...when he reaffirmed the Church's teaching regarding the grave immorality of artificial contraception. However, we wish to be like gods, making our own judgments on right and wrong.
3 in 4 Texas Catholics support birth control

AUSTIN — Most Texas Catholics disagree with the church's position on birth control, according to the Scripps Howard Texas Poll.

Seventy-four percent of Catholics believe the church should back birth control, the poll found.

The poll randomly surveyed 1,000 adult Texans between April 14 and May 4. The margin of error is plus or minus three percentage points.

The poll also showed 55 percent of Texans believe priests should be allowed to marry.

Support for women becoming priests garnered...46 percent.

33 percent of Texans supported making Catholic doctrine [on abortion] less strict.
The evident result of failed catechesis, pride, dissent, malformed consciences - the whole works...More reasons to pray for God's mercy!
