Reply #6: I think there is kneejerk reactions on both sides of the debate...

Too many self identifying Catholic DUers defend the Church when it is criticized, when honestly, I've heard harsher invectives directed at the Church from my own mother, a LOT harsher.

At the same time, there are too many DUers who do generalize about Catholics in general, and they should be criticized for that.

I do find it inexcusable to tithe to the Church, knowing where the money goes, there's a reason why my own parents don't tithe.
