8. Sorry you found such bitterness against religion

I too am a cradle Catholic, in my case from a family with along relationship with the Church. Like you I was an altar boy. After 80 years in the Church, I do not see the main concern of the Church as money. Yes, it takes money to run the Church.

The mortal sin for eating meat on Friday and Mormon underwear were good for a laugh. Yes, sadly many use the supposed unviability excuse to allow them to accept abortion. Many of these folks carry it on to near full term.

The abortion debate is back in the states. Arguably, it belonged there. I suspect we will see various difference among the states abortion laws, as their citizens see fit. Abortion will continue. People of conscience will continue to oppose it.

The United States is not free from religious influence. The Constitution prohibits establishment of a State religion and there is no CofUSA. The founders were informed by JudeoChristian ethics and morality. It shows in our laws.
