..... is being touted in another group here ... the poster trusts the wisdom of "his church".

I dunno.

What wisdom? What wise thing has come out of the RCC...ever? I mean they did take 300 to apologize to Galileo. Was the Inquisition wise? The Crusades? How about their vague position during WWII? Wise?

I just don't know what wisdom, especially these days, can we expect from a bunch of men who chose to drop out of regular society... especially on women's issues.
