Answering "yes" or "no" puts you in an extreme position. Read more... Doctrine Matters - David G. Bonagura, Jr.Critics never seem to tire of pitting the doctrines of the Catholic Church against her works of charity, as if the two were somehow mutually exclusive or even opposed. Read more...

Read more... Does the Catholic Church Hate Women? - Christopher KaczorThe Catholic Church is subjected to a great deal of suspicion, if not outright scorn, when it comes to its treatment of women.
