I gave her somewhat the benefit of the doubt before I knew much about her but I don’t like the “op-ed”, “Why I’m Catholic”, having ancestors that were Catholic might be a consideration but the way I grew up, you follow the faith, follow the teachings, all there is to it. No ‘ifs, ands or buts”. Oh that column: http://www.cruxnow.com/faith/2014/09/10/why-im-catholic/
Thanks for the link. Some choice lines from her op-ed: "We’ve heard about “Brides of Christ.” How about this steamy dialogue from Catherine of Siena, who entered a “mystical marriage” with Christ in 1366: “The more I enter, the more I find, and the more I find the more I seek of thee. Thou are the food that never satiates …”"
"Many, like me, were born Catholic. Keenly and even painfully aware of Catholicism’s many and gargantuan flaws, we stay Catholic." http://www.cruxnow.com/faith/2014/09/10/why-im-catholic/
Cardinal O'Malley is throwing his support behind the author of these foul meanderings. To anyone who wonders why, just follow the money.
