Thanks a million.

If much of the Church's moral teaching is based on natural law - broadly speaking for things to develope along how their functions are intended to go by nature, why intervention to change the course of events by modern science in some fields are allowed and disallowed in others. Granted that there are many instances that are too obviously morally reprehensible, but there are also many nuanced situations where the teaching seems to rule on the side of caution rather on practical grounds that can alleviate a lot anxiety in ordinary peoples' lives. There seems to be on the one hand the rules of the magisterium, and the pastoral situations of the faithful on the other. In real life they seems to be different rules altogether. Where does the primacy of an inormed consience come in; or is the church having second thoughts on this now?

I asked a question about women of color, I didn't say black or anything that I presumed to be derogitory, yet I get a black woman telling me that I should stick with my own race. This makes me wonder how is it she can make remarks like that. anybody out there still think only whitey is racist? And don't come back to me about how bad they are treated, please I don't want to get into that kind of fight.

why is it so wrong to question, doesnt that lead to a better understanding, doesnt it show interest. Like a teacher at school, they want students to ask questions so they can understand correctly. As a parent, I want my child to ask questions so they fully understand. Why is it that we cant question religion, if the intent is to understand it better then whats wrong with asking?

What is your view on Roman Catholicism? Do you consider Roman Catholics to be Christians? Please explain. Also, please state your religion; if you are Christian, please state your denomination.
