        @BBCBreaking Did Jesus tell his followers to practise celibacy? Why do the Catholic priests require to remain celibate? This is nonsensical.

        @RocqueJon I find I have less and less respect for the church these days. They should be fighting all forms of inequality not creating it.

        @RocqueJon I wish they would completely disestablish the church and refuse if any influence over civil secular matters.
