[Sundaycommunity] Why is the Catholic Church so slow to change?

[Arthur Blomme]

Catherine

I have to agree with Bill on this one.  Throughout my studies in 
sociology the big question always was can there be social science or was 
it in the end ideology.  Taking this discussion further I began to 
question whether medicine was based more on technocratic ideology than 
science.

The concept of Gender fluidity is a prime example of an ideology 
promoting a transhumanist perspective.  It is the role of the wisdom of 
the Church to protect our families and children from the consequences of 
this exploitative ideology.
