Maybe a priest brushed her off when she was younger and looking for truth. Maybe a Catholic teacher made a sarcastic remark at the wrong moment. It is usually something small and not a big, obvious hurtful thing. It just happened, but at a bad moment. You are right - we need to pray for her. And educate our youth (and adults) better concerning the beautiful teachings of our Church I have worked in the Church, and just from my own experience, I have found that when people are often so violently outspoken against the Church, it is because somewhere along the way, someone connected to the Church hurt them.

I think that within our culture it is counterintuitive and frankly not easy to understand. I was raised Catholic and I had to make a serious effort to make sense of the teaching against homosexual behavior, and I <em>wanted</em> to understand. I think that Rosie hates the Church because she feels persecuted and rejected. It is a shame that she feels so wounded that she can't see anything that the Church teaches as beneficial, even when it is staring her right in the face in the form of her children. I guess all we can do is pray for her, and pray for an end to abortion. To be honest I don’t blame Rosie for not understanding the Church’s teaching on human sexuality.

She was raised catholic, yet hates the Church. Why? She's a lesbian and promotes that agenda - in it's radical form - "they" promote abortion as a woman's right to choose - it protects her right to choose an unnatural partnership with her female companion. It's a disconnect of reason, to be sure - it's also insane. She loves kids, yet promotes infanticide. It is a diabolical delusion. Iheard Rosie’s statement – I wasn’t surprised.
