Hi 
I probably should post this in CF help section; but I wanted to get your opinion.
Can anyone call themselves Catholic on CF and use our icon to identify themselves as such? There is a particular person I am talking about that is actively debating for Pro-Choice and is representing herself with our Catholic icon. I think it gives a wrongful impression of what Catholic means to all of us.
Here is an excerpt from her profile, as you will see she strays far from being Catholic.
"I will say I'm a Catholic in the manner as I was raised by my mother, so I guess a mystic form of Catholic. I am not Catholic in the traditional sense; I am pro-choice, pro-equal rights for homosexuals, pro-death penalty, pro-stem cell research, do not believe abstinence before marriage, and I use non-traditional means for spiritual completion. I read Tarot, Runes, perform Reiki, study herbology, and believe in honoring nature. I also do a moderate amount of magical works, like spells and rituals."
She also adds that she does not attend Church, and lives with her boyfriend.
How is this Catholic? What do you think? Should we let it go, or should our Catholic icon really mean Catholic? I feel that her vocal, wrongful, representation of our faith is very confusing to those outside of our Church. Maybe it is just me, but it really really irks me to read her posts praising the right to abortion, while looking at the Catholic icon on her post!!
Moderators: If I have broken any rules I am truly sorry, or if you need to move this to another forum then go right ahead.

She may have been a cradle Catholic, but the wind blew, the limb broke!
Please let us all work together to provide a solid sense of what it is to follow Christ as a member of his Church... report obviously wrongful Catholic representations!
