Most countries now accept, as part of their constitutions - that some practices must be allowed in the new and current world - unlike before.
Until recently, many jurisdictions made several of these 'practices' legal. Such as gay marriage, abortion, contraception, homosexuality etc.
However, the Catholic church opposes all of those - in every country on earth. To them, it's simply black and white, no matter what their majestically clothed hierarchy say.
Will anyone finally realise that the Bible isn't a textbook - and is open to interpretation?
Jesus didn't write it; many are unsure of who did.
A holy and well meaning publication that - to those who could read and afford it - about 2,000 years ago; it may have made sense. Then.
Since its publication, fanatics have badly distorted the book's views.
