Quote from a Harvard open course:
Right. Well I think particularly in the US so many people’s beliefs are driven by their religious beliefs and umm like Mark the other day, I’m Christian, I’m Catholic and I had to decide for myself like on a lot of thought, a lot of prayer, a lot of conversations with other people that I disagreed with, the Catholic stand point that homosexuality itself isn’t a sin and once I came to that sort of conclusion with my personal relationship with God, like I mean that sounds hokey right, that’s like oh religious but a lot of people are religious and that’s where they draw their beliefs and views from umm that’s when I could say yeah I’m I’m down with the state saying go same sex marriage because I’m OK with that and I think that’s morally OK.
Does 'disagreed with' refer back to other people , or does it mean that she disagreed with Catholic stand point? According to the punctuation ,it seems that it refers back to other people. But it's oral transcript ,I'm not sure if the punctuation is right.
Thank you.
