The worst part of all is the fact that people take what celebrities say as the gospel truth. Look at Madonna and Tom Cruise, and all the celebrities that speak for the Democratic party. The average Joe cant seem to discern that they are using their status and celebrity to promote their views, no matter how much actual knowledge they have of a certain subject, i.e. abortion. However, if Bishop Wuerl ( Pittsburgh bishop) comes on his Sunday morning show and tells viewers how grave abortion or euthanasia is, angry viewers write to the paper and tell how the Church is wrong on almost everything, including abortion, birth control, and homosexual practices.
That is the problem with our society. We have been given every freedom known to man, but no real ability, for some people, to have the common sense to tell right from wrong. And those people get mad and spiteful when the Church tells them no and it is a sin. The people then say “Well, I can do what I want and I believe it isn’t a sin, yet I will still go take communion, and blah blah blah, and I will speak out against the Church”.
It is all about the irresponsible use (read: abuse) of freedom.
