Lets hope Malcolm Turnbull keeps his Catholic religion out of politics, unfortunately most do no, most Catholics do not believe in Voluntary Euthanasia, I wonder whether he would agree or not on this subject.

A Catholic wedding is a recognition of past culture not a contract to abide by the dogmatic bigotry of the catholic church.

Accusing MT of hypocrisy when the catholic church has a ban on condoms in countries ravaged by HIV is a little rich.

That the catholic church is good for pomp and ceremony and zip all else is evident in that virtually no one follows the catholic prohibition on contraception or chasity, and the churches are far from full.

MT good on you for not letting a bunch of pompous gits in dresses tell you how to think.

From QED, the Pope & Bishops have varying degrees of authority from Jesus, like QED, I have never ever heard of such rubbish, when does the so called Jesus talk to them, in the toilet, it is no wonder the world is in such a mess, President Bush talks to his make believe God and what a mess he has made of everything, may have been better talking to the so called Devil, more in line with all his stuff ups, the executed in Bali, 72 virgins waiting, and other stupid religions with more stupidity, how can people believe in all this crap. A man like Turnbull with some question marks hanging over him on his way to fame should know better than get mixed up with a very much right wing religion.

Malcolm Turnbull was looking at the apparent numbers and not the Christians at the Australian Christian Lobby, when he said what he did regarding the alleged right to abortion.
As a Catholic I find his stances mixed in with his stated beleif in the Catholic Faith to be the real contradiction.
Malcolm's public statements on abortion cannot be reconciled in any way, shape or form with the teachings of Christ and His One True Church.
Christ Jesus is the very embodiment/enfleshment/incarnation of holiness and is not party to a lie. Only human beigs lie when they make claims to belief in Christ and His teachings yet go on to publicly deny the same.

Your question, how does he reconcile Catholicism with being a politician is answered quite simple.

Through hypocrisy of course. In both roles you preach one thing and do another. Malcolm is expert at that as is his little mate Abbott.

Conscience matters not, even if he had one.

Whilst the majority of people in the division of Wentworth will no doubt be happy that Malcolm Turnbull has no plans to put his newly embraced Catholic faith into action, I suspect those Catholics who take their faith seriously may withhold their votes from the Liberal Party until this fraud has been deposed. Better to be a non-Catholic than a pretend Catholic.
