Should the Catholic Church still have a say in political matters, like laws about marriage and education?

No, them kid touching scum bags should have no say

ABSOLUTELY NOT. My rights are my rights. You can have your religion respectively until it infringes upon my rights, when it gets to that point, the rights of your religion stop.

No, only private matters between its members, as well as being allowed to advertise itself.

No they should stay out if it and let the people make those.

i think it is still important to have catholic views for our country because i think they have a good value of life.

No. Those who follow their religion should be allowed to continue their practices, but they should not have a greater say in laws that will effect those who follow other religions.

In catholic countries, sure. But not anywhere else in the world.

No, because they should have no right to make laws based on their beliefs and shove it down non-Catholic throats.

No, they believe in something that has been disproven so they shouldn’t have a say in something that actually exists.

No, not really. Law and religion in countries where religion is a free choice should be completely separate

No, they shouldn't. They're biased because of what the bible says, and most would not allow gay marriages or abortions, which is wrong because that shouldn't be their choice and one religion shouldn't have a say in the government. It should be all or none.

Yes, but in a controlled matter that reflects the right views of the church

no religion and government should be separate people should be able to be married outside of a church and educated non religiously

No. Other religions shouldn't either. Especially in Canada where many religions coexist, how can we let one religion decide with their moral base for everyone else. Church and Government should never overlap.

Yes, definitely for marriage, not much for education.

Yes everyone has the right to practice whatever religion they want.

no there's no place for religious bias in the government

Religion and law do not connect directly. There shouldn't be rules about marriage but Catholic Education can help teach people of the values of the church. These values should not include discrimination.

Next to no say. We are not a particularly religious country, we shouldn't force their ideals on everyone

Religions should not have a say on political matter especially about sexuality because not everybody is catholic so why base your rules off of it

Not within a secular nation like Canada. That is a private choice to support for yourself. Not force on others

Personally, religion and politics should never be mixed.

No they should not, We are no only ruled by religion that is in the past we now have democracy. religion is a choice and should not be forced into our governments. It will not make us more of a free country.

I believe that Catholic church practices are out of date and irreverent, but that does not mean all religions should be vetoed, everyone is able to practice what they like and we should not be unspoken, for believing in something we find significance to. Religion isn't wronging you, it's how others interpret religion and how others twist the truth instead of acknowledging it.

Nope. Religion should have no role in government. The Catholic Church has also shown poor judgement several times throughout history. Especially in Canada.

No, respectfully that is ridiculous. If we were to theoretically allow Catholicism we would have to allow all religions, or at least all major ones. Religions are complex and are bound to have different policies than other religions, with that in mind it eliminates the possibility of any religion. Furthermore keeping it the same for everyone gives people a base level to grow their complex religions off of. When everyone feels a unification on a base level it is significantly easier to create equal laws and things along those lines.
