Sigh. It bothers me when people criticise Catholic theology without actually knowing what it is. It is one thing to criticise Catholics, in the sense of Catholic individuals whose beliefs you disagree with. But many people who regard themselves as Catholics disagree with church teaching.
There are many matters on which good Catholics can disagree even though there is an official Church view on the matter, but there are others where the Church says "You have to believe this". The Catholic Church isn't exactly secret about what it teaches. It's not hard to find it out. It also doesn't require people to be theological experts to be faithful, because many people are not interested in dissecting the minutiae of theological and moral matters and just want to live their lives. However, every theological or moral matter on which the Church has an official position has been studied and scrutinised by some very very clever people, and the details are more nuanced than the "headlines" if you read the full article.
So "Lol, if you were really pro life as Catholics you wouldn't drive cars and kill people with air pollution!!!" is actually an issue which has been extensively addressed by Catholic moral theologians. Perhaps not air pollution directly, but the principle of what counts as immoral killing when so many of our actions have consequences which ultimately result in death.
I feel like I'm getting really off topic here, and I'm sorry, and happy to shut up about it now I've "said my piece". But I find that many many people are all about primary sources and evidence when it comes to science or medicine or social policy, and then happy to rely on third party hearsay when it comes to Catholic teaching when the primary sources of Catholic positions are very widely available for anyone who cares to look.
If anyone does want to talk about this particular dichotomy (pro-source for science, never bothers with sources for official religious teaching) I'm very happy to, but we should probably do it in another thread. Otherwise, I will gracefully retire riding this hobby horse.
