Aside from the "plenary indulgence" loophole, there's also the "protest against euthanasia."
If you lump that into a menage trois with the Planned Parenthood Protesters, I start to wonder...
...and this is a question, not a critique...:
Does "DOGMA" have anything good to say about Catholicism?
Sure, it INSINUATES that Catholicism is a basis for faith...as in those such as the last scion, herself...
...but it doesn't come off as a very good basis for one's faith. Does "DOGMA" show us any Catholics who aren't somewhat faith-challenged or damaged for a lack of faith?
In fact, the only flat-out statement made regarding Catholicism is Serendipity's: "You people don't celebrate your faith. You mourn it."
...that and, of course, endless discussions of the "plenary indulgence bullshit!"
