How long has "The Church" held this enlightened stance?

1210765 2011-06-20 09:10:00 I guess even the Church needs to be hip..

However, I don't think that's what she was saying, I think she meant it in terms of social constraints... The fact defacto couples have same/similar rights, bastard children no longer being taboo and the like...

( Salvation Army ) which makes me think that maybe some go not to be bored and for a leader of some sort.

I don't know that for a fact but it's just the way it seems to me.

Exactly! (Altho' the Catolics are the largest flavour of Christianity in the country - assuming the trend identified in the 2006 Census has continued)
