In reply to Andres' post #45:
I think you are getting close to my overall point now. 'Culture wars' are a popular theme in the past few decades. But I think they present things in a black & white way that does not reflect reality and which can lead to some perilous moral choices. Thus there are plenty of voices out there which promise to 'clean things up' and thus remove much of the moral ambiguity which we presently live amidst during our daily lives. But invariably the methods such promises follow are mean spirited. And if allowed to follow their own purported logic to the end they would destroy some pretty fundamental social values.

So that is why I think it better to look at the intent of the group or institution rather than only the specific questionable things they believe in. I disagree with the majority view that the latter negates the former. Anyway- unless such groups are totalitarian in outlook their own method of operation often allows room for alternative input or disagreement especially due to the prevailing belief in toleration.

In Christ- Fr Raphael
