An insult to the faith I love

WRITE in response to Suzanne Harrington’s recent article on the church.

I I am a 19-year-old Catholic university student and I found both the article and the attached picture very offensive to the faith I love. Firstly, it is indeed true that the Catholic Church has always been strict on its members regarding sexual activity outside of heterosexual marriage.

But has Ms Harrington even begun to wonder why, or even considered the possible benefits of such an attitude before taking off on her scathing rant against the Church? Has she bothered to find out the reasons behind the Church’s attitude on this matter, which is based on the Pope trying to follow God’s will? The Church’s attitude to this topic is in fact, both reasonable and compassionate towards its members.
