  <<That's not imposition - attempting to silence them is. Secularcrats do this all the time.>>
  
  No one is "attempting to silence" anti-abortion advocates. Another of your silly persecution delusions. I never denied the Church has every right to agitate on behalf of its convictions. But by doing so there's no question the bishops attempt to impose Catholic theology on a secular republic.
  
  <<Sorry, I thought you were a Catholic. I didn't realise you were meddling in Catholic affairs all this time.>>
  
  I'm a cradle Catholic. Anybody who's camped out on this site as long as you have might've noticed that I never claimed to be orthodox, that I returned to the Church after a long time away (fleetingly, as it turned out), and that I'm pretty engaged with Christianity.
  
  By the way, at least a few Catholic scholars do acknowledge the mythic, literary nature of the infancy narratives. Matthew portrayed Jesus as the Second Moses; Luke's Jesus is Son of God and  prophet to the Gentiles. NT 101.
