You've misunderstood me. I am saying that I don't promote abortion, and I don't vote for Democrats precisely for this reason.

i stay in the Church despite ... certain things i HATE...

because i feel the love of Christ there

His Very Presence

When people tell me i am (whatever)

Jesus tells me something else

He focuses on what is improtant...
