The Catholic Church Today

During the Middle Ages, the relationship between people and the Church involved oppression and politics. These politics still play a role into the American society today. Recently in New York, Cardinal Dolan was fighting to legalize assisted suicide. He introduced this to the legislature, saying that death is to be viewed with dignity.

The Church is still involved with roles of our society today. The Church asserts principles based on teachings of Christ. This can be tied into laws made for religious beliefs. The Church also teaches people against discrimination.

I feel that America had good intentions from leading away from the Church because they teach about Christ, and people should have a choice from the day they are born to or not to follow him.
