If this keeps up, soon enough there won't even be any American Catholics anymore.

There will be. Maybe not as many, but some will remain. My home town is 98% Catholic, a figure that's not going anywhere. (Its very homogenous; 95% of the population is of Austrian descent, enough so that Archduke Marcus von Hapsburg stopped by last summer while here on a state visit.

I know why, Solauren. It's because you don't jail people without cause. It's a principle fundamental to a free state. Jailing the innocent is bad. Am I going too fast for you?

Yes, it is a bad thing. As for the Mormons, they marry off their daughters at 13, of course there are such allegations.

being an ex mormon I can happily say I have never seen any 13 year olds married off. Or Pillagamy. So where you got that from Id love to know.

That sort of remark is right up there with pointing out that Catholics are bascially performing white magic rituals. Oh and that you worship idols...

Tom Green. I rest my case.

WHAT case??

provide some evidence or shut the fuck up. Unless Tom Green is a paragon of unbiased journalism thats the most retarded comeback Ive seen on here.

Show me some clear proof. Some evidence that is a lot heavier in weight than some schlock comedians rantings..

Supposed to be a copy of a New York Times article.

thanks neoloong

hmm fundamentalist sects of morons...err, I mean mormons in rural Utah....yep I can see why they might act like that..

Sfunny, but for as long as I was in the church polygamy was never mentioned, and neither was wedding at 16..

Id like to see this tried in australia and see how far they'd get.
