I just think it's odd for anyone to tell someone else what they can and cannot believe...

Unfortunally it goes much further than that...I live in Ireland - which south of the border is pretty much completely Catholic. Now the churches influence has completely extented to the ballot box too with thier influence on referendums with regard to abortion and divorce....So not only are they telling people what they can or cannot believe but are directly influencing major aspects of peoples lives.
I'l tell u another funny thing - in the 30's here the church preached openly from the pulpit to encourage Irish men to sign up and fight for freedon in the Spanish civil war...True story..and who did they want em to fight with - yes the Fascists. So they wanted irih men to fight and die to help Franco..
