I’m a Catholic….
The church was so wrong on everything to do with marriage, sex, and reproduction….
I knew I wasn’t interested in children or life long monogamous marriage but thought the idea that God expected me to never enjoy sexual intimacy seemed bizarre. I thought getting pregnant when you did not want to have a baby if you could avoid it was more likely to be a “sin” than using birth control or having an abortion.
I still believe those things, although the language of “sin” is no longer in my vocabulary.
~Frances Kissling, former president of Catholics for Choice, writing as a guest blogger at Feministe, August 16

I’m expecting Frances to rediscover the word “sin” in a big way after death.
What a completely and utterly lost soul. My heavens. :(
Don’t bother Frances with facts.
If it doesn’t quack, and it doesn’t waddle, and it doesn’t swim, and it doesn’t have webbed feet, guess what? It’s not a duck. She is clearly NOT a Catholic. I can tell everyone I’m a chocolate chip cookie but it doesn’t make it so.
….dang….she doesn’t make any sense…she contradicts every statement she makes…
Is it me or is the liberal left missing the basic understanding of what logic is??
They think: you say 2 plus 2 equals 4, but that’s not MY reality. In my reality, 2 plus 2 equals 5, except on Thursdays after sundown, then it equals 5.25.
So why is she Catholic again? Seriously, I’m confused. Opposition to abortion isn’t optional. If she wants to be “sort of like Catholic” why doesn’t she join the American Episcopal church. They’re peachy keen with all sorts of sin.
And this woman is Catholic, HOW??? You can’t have it both ways. Either you’re Catholic, or you’re not. You can’t just make up your own version of Catholicism. I’m not even Catholic and I know THAT.
Frances – please don’t call yourself Catholic.
Telling Christ, “No Lord – I don’t want to be obedient” is oxymoronic.
You can’t have it your way, no matter how you spin it.
And if, as you claim, the Catholic Church is that ignorant, why bother remaining affiliated with them?
Why is it that people like her (and Pelosi and Biden and the list goes on) start out with “I’m a Catholic,” and then proceed to detail all the ways in which they do not agree with the Catholic faith? As a Catholic myself – who believes that what the Church teaches is true and inspired by God – I find that offensive and a disservice to faithful Catholics. Lord help us if someone stumbles across her and thinks that’s what Catholics believe!
No, Frances, you are NOT Catholic.
Her little monologue displays so well the hedonistic mindset that masquerades as freedom and tolerance. Her approach to everything is how it makes her feel, how it does or does not satisfy her desires, whether she can manipulate outcomes to suit her, etc. Nowhere is there the slightest mention of what God’s purposes are, what is right or proper. She has no interest in what God thinks or wants or commands or expects. No interest in anyone except herself. Which is where all sin begins.
I love the smell of hypocrisy in the evening.
Wait… is that the smell of hypocrisy, or did someone just fart?
A simple task for Frances. Complete the following sentence.
What makes me Catholic is…………………..
“The church was so wrong on everything to do with marriage, sex, and reproduction. I’d been through a divorced and remarried mother who I knew was not an adulteress and was not going to hell.”
I am curious as to her knowledge of actual church teachings on marriage, sex, and reproduction. Then I wonder if she could use examples from actual church documents and formulate arguments as to why the teachings are wrong?
“….I knew was not an adulteress and was not going to hell.”
That’s confidence. How does she know this? I wish I knew for sure where I was going!
