Right on the money Onyx. I've read some Catholic articles where they argue that the defining point of a politician is their position on abortion and that this superscedes every other point because of how strongly the view on abortion should be held.

If it is written by a dicatorship, then you always trust it? If so, you advocate that politicians work for the subversion of the US Constitution. You (and the church article) advocate changing American government where ever it violates church doctrine? If the issue is to be decided based upon church doctrine, then you are advocating the subversion of the US Constitution. US Constitution - a document created by people who understood the evils of religious beliefs in government. Do you now tell me that US laws must be made according to strong decrees from another country's leader - the pope?
In order to make your arguments, you must repeatedly ignore a point that you cannot argue. Religion is a relationship between you and your god. Period. Instead you advocate religion as a political force that can be imposed even on other religions? So which one is it? Which do you believe? You cannot have it both ways. So far you have posted Catholic church religious dogma. When, pray tell, do you question- doubt - a fallible pope?
If you never question the pope, then you only demonstrate why religion must be kept out of government. Please, for example, show me where you find the church to be wrong. Please show us one reason why you could be trusted to impose religious beliefs on others - because you don't blindly follow a dicatatorship - the world's largest bureaucracy - the Catholic Church.
So far, all I read, "it is true because the church says so" - just as Germans said in the time of Hitler - another fallible dictator who also was treated as some kind of god - infallible.
