You are utterly naïve if you think the Roman Catholic Church can ever "regain the trust" of the National Catholic Reporter mob. The NCR-ians are damned.
The Reporter has the highest circulation of any Catholic newspaper in the country! At 42,000, it is ahead of the Wanderer at 30,000, and the Register at 28,000.
So, which one is it, Sinky???To: heyheyheyI'm not trashing you for reading the NCR - rather I'm trashing the NCR for brainwashing people.NCR has a circulation of 50,000 in a nation of 62 million Catholics.
You're a bit overwrought as to the influence of the NCR.

False again, Sinky. The Sunday WS Journal's circulation is more than 9.5 million!
I'd say I am lacking in many ways.
Me too. I always wonder which spirit they are really talking about...
You respond to almost everything I say. Perhaps you will set an example for others by not responding.
You're causing me to regret that I took up for you the other day.
Dear me. Can it be my defense of legitimate authority will cost me the approbation of a schismatic? Heaven forfend.
All you seem to do is run into every thread spewing hate and attempting to start a flame war with an unrelated argument.
There is no hate involved here. I merely turned the question back upon the questioner. That it revealed a lot about the questioner is not an example of my hatred.
Do you stay up at night devising ways to spite those of us who choose to worship as traditionalists?
Heck no. I toss off these lines from the top of my head. It really is very easy to refute the agenda of the schismatics and and it is quite revealing to see schismatics who constantly berate the Living Magisterium object when the least opposition is raised to their self-righteous condemnation of the Pope, an Ecumencial Council, the Pauline Rite, the Catechism etc etc etc. And why do you grant liberty to soi disant traditionalists to spite and attack the Pope and the Pauline Rite while denying that liberty to those opposing the evil of schism? Why, in other words, the double standard and why do you think I ought adhere to it?
As always, there are schismatics who roar like lions when attacking Divinely-Constitued Authority but who mewl like kittens when their schism is subjected to scrutiny.
It really is quite jejune and unmanly and betrays a fear of any light being shined upon them. Apparently there exists some principle wherby schismatics can routinely trash Divinel-Constituted Authority and any opposition to that despicable agenda is somehow "personal" or "unfair." What an odd, and unshared by me, weltanschauung.
You become very personal and are constantly trying to smear those who aren't bothering with you. For your own sake you should stop doing this.
When I chose to accept Confirmation I accepted the burden to discharge my Christian Duty as a Christian Militant. I have pledged to defend the Faith.
I am not engaging in any personal attacks. You, however, are by charging me with "smears." I think you need to look up the defintion. You don't appear to understand its meaning.
On this thread, my response to Mr. Drobot was only personal in the sense I asked of him the question he asked of others. Surley that is not an example of personal abuse, is it?
