Social Problems


The article “Cardinal Dolan: Gov't contraception policy a "radical intrusion”", By Leigh Ann Caldwell talks about Cardinal Timothy Dolan’s view on the presidents new contraception policy. In the interview Cardinal Timothy Dolan said the president's new contraception policy is "intruding into the life of faith." (Caldwell, 2012). Cardinal Dolans speaks about how the government is somehow mitigating or ruling over the catholic faith. I am highly against this view as it is very narrow minded and makes the church seem like they are in supreme power. This article relates to my social problem essay which is the negative views on cosplay(Dressing up as a Japanese Character) because this is one example of the church criticizing something that isn’t affecting them in any way especially when it is judging other peoples decisions in life. I am a Christian and I have been my whole life and I still believe in this faith, but I do not agree with everything they say. The president introducing this new policy is not going to change how a person lives and his choices in his religion. If someone would want to have access to a contraception they would do anything they can to get it; this also means that they are already breaking some rules of the Catholic religion. I believe in this faith and that no one is to be judged and that everyone is equal. I know that not all Christians share this view but I think that if people who believe in this faith they should also stop judging others.
