’Im going to resist being called a conservative Catholic,’ Glendon replied.”
Ms. Glendon is right. To adopt the moniker “conservative Catholic” is to cave into the language of the left, and of the heterodox.
There is Catholic. There is non-Catholic. One may admit of “lapsed Catholic,” or “bad Catholic,” or possibly “heterodox Catholic” (although that’s almost tautologically an oxymoron). But there is no such thing as a “conservative Catholic,” only a Catholic, and there is no such thing as a “liberal Catholic,” only a bad or lapsed Catholic, or even “no-longer Catholic.”
Who does this remind you of?
Once again, MV has a lot of good to say but will continue to miss the mark as long as he ignores the elephant in the room: Francis.
Well if they're faxing, and not emailing, they must be "traditionalists".
Either that or they are mere idiots.
Every criticism Voris leveled at Dolan and the church of nice crowd could have been leveled at Dolan's boss in Vatican City. The current and past popes of the Vatican II era have either allowed or encouraged this sad state of affairs for years. Mikey is truly delusional if he thinks attacking the bishops and priests is going to get the job done. When you fight against an enemy, you have to defeat the man at the top, not his soldiers. It's the head man who gives the orders to attack and plans the strategy to fight against you. The only thing Voris will accomplish in the long run with his strategy is to keep his followers in a state of emotional turmoil about the bishops and priest, while leaving the real cause (humanly speaking) untouched.
Apostates teaching apostates the Catholic Faith...
LMAOROFL.
Well that's not very "hip" at all, is it? I would have thought #ComradeFran and #YoMalley would resort to text messaging. Thats what all the cool kids do.
Are you sure of that, sitetest? Pope Francis has already declared his flavor of Catholicism:
"I have never been a right-winger."
They sure seem to think that those whom they are attempting to bamboozle are idiots.
"...OMalley kicked off the nights discussion by talking about the pontiffs goals, actions, and thoughts.
Pope Francis challenges us to overcome our indifference in our own lives, he said, adding that the church is about caring and compassion...."
"...In between, conversations were light, especially when Crux spirituality columnist Margery Eagan asked OMalley about being BFFs, or best friends forever, with Francis...."
Sad but true.
LOL!!!!!!!!
No kidding. Socialist, more like. Ditto Cdl. O'Malley.
By consorting with the known moron O’Malley, Francis reveals himself to be utterly without judgment or integrity.
It is a Dark Age for the Church. It is a time to stay away from Rome at all costs.
There are a few bishops who talk to Voris behind the scenes. I’m sure that if he publicly criticized the Pope, even those few contacts would disappear immediately.
I've told you before what I think of Francis. I'm not too worried if he doesn't agree with me on this issue.

But what one believes is manifested by what one does and effects, (Ja. 2:18; Mt. 7:20) and Rome shows her interpretation of what she believes regarding who is a Catholic by treating Ted Kennedy-type RCs as members in life and in death.
You may disown them as such, but in reality it is your foundationally Scripturally aberrant church that does not, and you must own that.
The Rev. Anne Robertson of Plymouth never thought shed share a baptism remembrance ritual with the cardinal -- until he asked her to do so during a special service in Sudbury
Then those bishops are just part of the problem. MV (and those “few bishops”) is going to have to decide on whether to speak the whole truth or not. If not, then he is impotent and irrelevant.
Hopefully we’ll eventually get a real bishop who has the guts to do so....like St Athanasius.
Also true in reverse.
