That's why you do have in America cafeteria catholics, who pick and choose what beliefs they want.

But I think the crux of what you are getting to is you want to say that Obama didn't really beleive the kooky stuff coming out Wright's mouth. You are making a defense that Obama didn't make (up until the day he actually left the church).
No. What I'm saying is that Obama attended the church in spite of the few crazy things Wright said. (He also preached the value of the family and other worthy causes that folks like you and the right wing overlook in demonizing him and the church.) Remember, the Trinity United Church preached many more mainstream, conservative issues than one of it's ministers upset over how America treated the black person. I'm sure the Catholics and Christians would be more vocal if they had been the oppressed as opposed to being the oppressor.
