Coast-to-coast 'movement' rages on

I see that leaving the Church has advanced the level of your discourse. Not all Catholic Churches and priests are like the one you evidently experienced.

[A.A. Cunningham]

St. Francis de Sales called that committing spiritual suicide.

[zipp_city]

I like all believers in all churches. But it is their Leaders you have to watch.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

I have repeatedly told all of you this and have been flamed for it. Oh well...

[j.havenfarm]

Curses, foiled again! Sorry, Benedict. Pack up your idols, for our devious papist schemes have been laid bare and we must retreat to Rome, the whore of Babylon!

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

I understand your sympathies.

However, I had different priests in differnt churches in different cities in the 70s an 80s who sounded like they were quoting from the Communist Manifesto instead of the bible. Most priests in the Catholic Church tend to lean toward socialist preachings.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Not all of them. My personal experience is that certain orders, like the recent history of the Jesuits, are more apt to be populated with socialists/communists. Joseph Fessio is one exception. The number of devout, faithful Priests that I've met in my life far outweigh the number of kooks, commies and criminals. I don't base my belief in the Constitution on its interpretation by the Clintons nor do I base my Catholicism on the interpretation of the deposit of faith by socialists/communists masquerading as Priests.

[isrul]

Absolutely. Take away the tax exemption, now.

[tbird5]

No matter how bad a priest is, his behavior is not going to stop me from confession and communion. The catholic church has been here since Jesus started it and I am just one person in that long history. The catholic church has had horrible leaders in its history, yet it continues to stand. It is greater than me.

Catechism of the Catholic Church

"2241 ...Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants'duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens."

If you want to know what the Catholic Church teaches, your best bet is to go to the Catechism, which happens to be searchable online:

On immigration:

If you're going to write to your Bishop, maybe this is the part you should emphasize. (Go ahead, introduce your Bishop to Catholic doctrine...it'll do him good...)

As a Catholic, all of this commie "social justice" crap within the church gets my blood boiling. This is what the liberal "reforms" of Vatican II have foisted upon us (or the misdeeds that have been done in "the spirit of Vatican II", anyway). Many Orthodox Traditional Catholics want nothing to do with this crap, or the creeping modernism (liberalism) which is pervading the church, and slowly destroying it.

This is why I have stopped going to my local parish, and now drive 30 miles to the one Traditional Conservative parish that is allowed to exist in my diocese. From what I have heard from other embattled Catholics, I feel lucky to have one THAT close.

The problems of liberalism are infesting the Catholic and Protestant churches, just like they are infesting society at large. Unfortunately, people see these articles about liberal Catholics in the news media, and assume the entire church buys into the big lie hook, line, and sinker. Nothing could be futher from the truth. There are also Conservatives there, who are fighting the good fight. But we seem to be outnumbered in the United States.

And of the half-million or so Catholic priests worldwide, just how many have you heard preach?

[pissant]

Yes, it is the Bishops that need to follow the Church's teachings.

[spectre]

And just who is going to pick up the tab for Parochial School tuition for all those Catholic Illegal students?

It's not free, you know.

I LIKE it!! I am ashamed to admit that I did not know of this particular Church law. I should have a button made which simply says "2241" and wear it to Mass!! LOL!!

Thank you.
Only some clergy aid and abet criminals.

Thank you Mrs. Don-O!

I knew someone hear could express it more clearly (and accurately) that I could.
