I’ve read this type of “logic” before, and it is a tired tactic of the liberals. Written By: Barry Burchill | × After reading Alan Davis’s recent letter, "Weaponizing Religion," I just can’t resist responding. First, to be fair, it is not the most ridiculous piece I’ve ever read if I include the writings of Stash Hempeck, Tony Bender, and others. But it is close. He wrote that American Bishops in the Catholic Church voted to deny the sacrament to “any Catholic who respects women.” Of course, this is false. Davis describes himself as a life long on-again, off-again Catholic who spells out all the shortcoming of his own religion. Steeped in arrogance and assumption, he goes through a laundry list of all the things the Church falls short on. And by failing on these matters, the Church can no longer take a stand on anything like abortion until they get themselves squared away.
