Had the fourth pro-life sermon in a row at church today. It makes me very upset. Under the Catholic church, abortion is never permissible, and you cannot be Catholic and be pro-choice at the same time. If you don't act to end abortion in my country (US), you will go to hell. There are no gray areas in this debate for catholics; even contraception is a sin, so you can have sex only in the most narrow definition, and that to have children only. According to Christianity, society must conform to the church, and any disagreement with the church catechism is disagreeing with God. So I have to either to reject the religion I was born with, or blindly accept all dogma regardless of how I feel about.

And all this time I thought Christianity consisted of a large number of different denominations, each with members holding to varying theological, philosophical, political, etc. points of view ...
