I am concerned by the recent trend on IMC to have more and more content put up by religious groups and sects conected to the catholic church. I always thought that IMC was meant to be a secular and progressive website and not a religious one.
Recently there has been many posts put up by the Catholic prayer group 'Catholic Worker' as well as links to sermons by Fr. Pat O'Brien. These people can be quite regressive on most issues such as divorce, abortion papal infallibility, they work with Youth Defence on many occasions. One of the only reasons they were against the war was because their pope came out against it. What do others think about keeping IMC secular? should religious posts and posts put up by catholic and religious grousp be removed?
