Why I don’t understand the Obama at Notre Dame “fake” fiasco.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m pro-choice for one very simple reason:

I think that you are better suited to make your own decisions for yourself.

So with that in mind the only way that I can justify any one who is pro-life is that they feel that they know better about any of your decisions. That kinda makes sense when you think of the Catholic church as a group that dispenses lifestyle demands in a top down fashion. Though I think that there is a small, yet very vocal, minority that has completely lost sight of what is really going on.

If, for example, we decide that the Catholic church is in fact 100% completely correct and that we should structure everything to the exact letter of the doctrine, that this small minority desires, then I think that many who even consider them self Catholic would be adversely affected by this decision, let alone everyone else. Actually I would be very surprised if even members of this small minority could even work out what this universal doctrine should be as they have only rallied around one issue. So since that is not a good idea, what society does is to try and split the difference and make decisions that is best for everyone. Some times it does not quite work out so well, but we try.

Though to make this work, you have to be tolerant of those that do not think like you, do not do what you do, and those that do not believe what you do, I think that some guy named Jesus said something similar. In short we have to let people make decisions that work for them, and we need to accept that they might not make the same choice that we would. Only seems fitting, some one who considers them self so holy would only at least consider the words that happen to be in the book that they base their entire argument on, or am I expecting too much?
