Cafeteria Catholicism

Cafeteria Catholic, also called à la carte, is an informal term used to describe a follower of Catholicism who dissents from certain official doctrinal or moral teachings of the Catholic Church. Polling indicates that many Catholics dissent from the institutional hierarchy on at least one issue.

Several instances of this include Catholics who support the usage of the death penalty, masturbation, or find no moral objections to birth control.
