...this would be one of my questions: if, as you claim, God expects unmarried people to practice sexual abstinence, and expects teenagers to benefit from abstinence-only sex "education," then why can't your own ordained Catholic priests manage to practice it? Isn't your demand for abstinence a bit like declaring that…
Most of you probably already know that more than 35,000 people are killed in the U.S. *every year* (more than ten times the number killed in the 9/11 terrorist attack) by drivers who are impaired by alcohol. But you might not know that, since the 9/11 attack, drivers who run…
