    Historically the Catholic church has claimed moral superiority does that mean they...

    Why doesn't the Catholic Church stick to the Bible?

    Instead of discouraging homosexuality and promiscuity. Why doesn't it encourage the use of condoms for married couples and straight life styles. Why does it ignore these issues that happen to be a very large contributer to HIV AIDS. I see very ugly men on television dressed like women and...
