People having a different opinion than you are not "narrow minded".

I was listening to NPR this weekend. NPR had a story about the Young Professional Catholics. They are a group of Catholics that help raise money for Catholic Charities. They have gatherings to raise money for causes such as Katrina victims, tsunamis, etc. They often do this in pubs, calling the gatherings Pub Nights. NPR sent a reporter to a Pub Night. There was a non Catholic at the pub and she voiced her displeasure at the Catholics and said she did not approve of them nor like them. She stated that they, the Catholics, were "narrow minded." She did not approve of their ideas about abortion, women as priests and gays in general. This seemed to her, to negate any good that the Young Professionals might do in the world. Now my dear friends, many people have different opinions than you do. That does not make them narrow minded, it just makes them, well, different than you. They have a different opinion than you do, that's all. Everybody, let's appreciate diversity of thought. Trust me, those with opinions in oppositon to your own have come to those opinions through experience and careful thought. To not appreciate that others may have a different opinion than we do is, well, narrow minded.
