text: Your comments about annulments and abortion do not address my comment. Christ founded a Church, commanded it to teach, gave it teaching authority, promised the Holy Spirit to guide it, and said “Who hears you hears Me.”
  
  While thinking out loud on annulments, abortion, how many angels can dance on a pin, or other theological speculations might be a fun hobby in the right context, contesting the Church is contesting its Head, Jesus Christ, and that is never done by "eminently reasonable and pious people" who are Catholic.
  
  Reason would dictate that one not get in the Creator's Face, which is probably why many defenders of the Church's teaching give you short shrift.
