[QUOTE="BBAS 64, post: 76046724, member: 11421"] Good day, I am not a member of the Roman Church.... lets get that off the table. Joe Biden in his Baptism and confirmation in the Roman Church is a member if that Church. The Church has the right and the authority to determine who and under what circumstances it will commune with it's members. The Roman Church also by proclamation of it's own infallible rules on morals and faith as the rights to bind the conscience of their members. The Church by extension has the right to enact discipline as it see fit they freely exercise that when they deem necessary up to and including excommunication ( publicly) of it's members. It is not politically at all.... even though Vatican City has a political wing to it. As seen here: [URL='https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/vatican-wants-changes-italy-draft-law-against-homophobia-n1272075']Vatican wants changes to Italy draft law against homophobia[/URL] Snip.... "The Vatican believes that the law as currently written violates the 1929 Lateran Pacts, which established Vatican City as a sovereign state and regulates relations between it and Italy." Not sure it is the right thing for Italy or the United States (if we have any) to violate pacts made with the Vatican. In Him, Bill [/QUOTE]
