This said, I don't think it is fair for people to ask you to defend the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Thanks - my parents are very proud
. I hope to do my best to make America a land of arguing, not quarreling.
And yes - defending the teachings of the Catholic Church on this subject is not something I'm qualified to do. Because I hadn't seen an explanation of the Church's reasoning in this thread, and it's relevant to the discussion, I thought I would share my understanding of it, but I don't care to defend it to the bitter end.
