[Godwin1]

“....they have stopped attending Mass.” This means that they have deliberately cut themselves off from the Church and the sacraments. They are former Catholics, ex-Catholics,faux-Catholics not believing Catholics. There are many persons like this in contemporary America. The Democratic party is riddled with them.—the Daleys, the John Kerrys, the Pelosis. Even the Mengele-like Sebelius was “born” Catholic. But they no longer believe in a living God that pays attention to the acts of human beings. This story is typical media trash—leftists using their discarded faith as a Trojan Horse to attack those who still believe.
