Taken from the great MenteCritica

We are fully supportive of marriage among Catholics. It seems unfair and a mistake to try to prevent it. Catholicism is not a disease. Catholics, although many do not like them or they may seem strange, they are normal people and must have the same rights as the majority, as they were - for example - the computer or homosexuals.
We are aware that many aspects of behavior and character of the Catholic people - as their ability to pathologize sex - may seem strange. We know also that sometimes public health issues may arise, such as their dangerous and deliberate rejection of condoms.We also know that many of their customs, like the public display of images of torture, is annoying to many. But this, in addition to being a media image as a reality, not a reason to prevent the exercise of the marriage. Some might argue that a marriage between Catholics is not a real marriage, because for them it is a rite of a religious precept taken before God, rather than a union between two people. Moreover, since children born outside marriage are strongly condemned by the church, some might consider that allowing Catholics to marry will increase the number of marriages by "whispers of what people" or simply looking for sex (forbidden by their religion outside of marriage), so going to increase the occurrence of family violence and family issues.
On the other hand we must remember that this is not just about Catholic families and that - since we can not put ourselves in the minds of others - we can not judge their motives. Finally, say that you should not call it marriage, but in another way it is not that a form, really 'mean, to deflect the issue on semantic issues, entirely out of place. Although from a Catholic marriage is a marriage and a family is a family!
And with this allusion to the family, we spend another hot topic, which we hope is not too radical, we are also in favor of Catholics who adopt children.Someone may offend. E 'likely to respond with a statement of the type "Catholics who adopt children? Children themselves may become Catholics. " In response to these criticisms, we can say that it is true that the children of Catholics have many more chances to become in turn Catholics (as opposed to homosexuals or computer), but we said that Catholics are people like everyone others. Despite the views of someone with some indications, however, there is no evidence that Catholic parents are less prepared than others to educate their children, it 'that the religiously oriented environment of a Catholic home has a negative influence on the child. In addition, the juvenile court advising on individual situations, and is precisely their job to determine the suitability of potential adoptive parents. Ultimately, despite the views of some sectors, we believe that we should allow Catholics to marry and adopt children.
Just like the computer, and homosexuals.
course (unfortunately) the article is ironic. In the Republic (Apostolic) Italian Catholics are all too often to lay down the law and deny basic rights to other minorities, but is not got time to wonder if it is time for Catholics to make an effort on behalf of civil coexistence of Ending want to bend the law to the dogmas of the Italian State, beliefs, books, morals of their religion and the mood swings of their political and spiritual leader (known as Papi)? Or Catholics believe it is fair to continue to require all citizens of the Italian State the their religion and their moral (no divorce, no interruption of pregnancy, no to assisted procreation, no to birth control, no to masturbation, no sex outside of marriage to a Catholic, no homosexuality, no rights for people who love outside marriage Catholic religious schools funded by the Italian and that is with the taxes of everyone, including atheists and Muslims, taxation of symbols Catholic Church in public places, hours of religion in school, teachers of religion paid by the contributions of the state, and so on)??
seems to me that the laity have had far too much tolerance from the day that Mussolini signed the Concordat today. And the result is a country still blatantly confessional, a situation that our French neighbors have passed the "Law on the Separation of Church and State" in 1905, then stepped up, or extreme, the law on secularism, also known as anti- film of 2004. So why not do in Italy, as did Chirac in France, a "Commission on the application of the principle of reflection of secularism in the Republic "? In France, the Commission has concluded its work by stating that " is to reconcile national unity and respect for diversity. Secularism, since it is capable of providing a common way, takes on a new " for which the state must give" clear and strong rules in the context of a law on secularism "and if that is true then it states the principle of respect for religious diversity , they are confined in the privacy of the individual conscience and favored only if they remain in this area.
At this point I ask, provocatively (and reversing a tad bit racist discourse that can often be heard referring to Muslims), but who does not accept the rules and culture of the rule of law, liberal, secular, non-denominational and pluralistic, democratic respect of every faith, culture, belief and ideology, is right to remain as "fifth column" in our country or should instead be sent within the Vatican State?
