He preached about being a good person and doing good things... It wasn't this huge list of specific dos and don'ts, it was just a simple thing "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"... Real easy... real straightforward...
The points is (and what makes it "Catholic") is that there is no reason to take a stand... It was a man-made rule made in the 1970s and we are now, 40 years later, realizing that it was a mistake... There is nothing to take a stand on except the word of a bunch of MEN... Not God...
God said to use moderation and restraint, not ban things outright...
and he definately never said anything about restricting what you can use to reach people. Paul preached an entire sermon on a ROMAN GOD... I mean, come on. He actually went into the temple and told them that thier believe in this "unkown Roman God" was actually a belief in the God of Israel... He used the Roman Religion itself to make a case for Christ...
and you're tleling me we can't use some wires and tubes and signals??? Give me a break...

Jesus didn't preach baptism? How about
Mark 16:16? Was He joking when He said it?
