To Whom it May Concern, It was deeply saddening to read the response to the Pope’s resignation article. It shows the anger, ignorance, and intolerance that run rampant about the Catholic Church. Mr. Brown turned the article away from being a moment of reflection of the accomplishments of Benedict XVI to a criticism of the Church. Therefore, it is necessary to defend the charges laid at the doorstep of the Catholic Campus ministry concerning our beliefs. To begin, to say that abortion, homosexual marriage, and contraception are non-issues is completely false. In every culture and religion throughout the world the family unit is considered the backbone of society. When the family becomes broken so do our communities. It may be true that 22,000 children will die today because of poverty, however over 150,000 babies will be innocently murdered each day because of abortion. Poverty is reversible, but abortion is permanent. When a society is taught it’s okay to kill your unborn child, to use contraceptives because pregnancy is an inconvenience, and that marriage is not a sacred union created by God between one man and one woman, there is a total loss of morality. This loss of morality is what results in more crime and disregard for life, liberty, and property. Therefore everything is obviously intertwined and the Catholic Church recognizes this connection. It is important to note that the Catholic Church has little to do with the global economy making this point irrelevant. Instead, Mr. Brown please look to the president and demand a return to a free market economy, less taxes, and less government spending. Just a little factoid is that Benedict XVI has been nicknamed the “Green Pope” due to his efforts to curb harmful emissions and make the Vatican more environmentally friendly. As Catholics we believe that God gave us this earth to protect and care for, not destroy. To make the statement that it’s 2013 is unnecessary. The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ in 33 AD. So, in this respect the Church understands that times change, however the teachings of Christ and the scriptures are outside of time and do not alter. The Catholic Church prides itself in tradition, and yet is continually attacked for maintaining these traditions such as the pope’s clothing and the beauty of the Vatican. The Catholic Church also has charities and missionaries helping the poorest regions and is the largest charitable outreach in the world. How is this not compassionate? This aid reaches across borders of all countries and peoples of all backgrounds. So when Mr. Brown stated, “my sincere hope for the Catholic Church is that the administration realizes the power of compassion and understanding, and works toward a better world where God’s love […]
