I'll add my own "ain't it the truth", Stubborn. Ain't it the truth!
The list of watch words at the beginning of the article are what I called "episcopagan speak" when I was still on the other side of the Tiber. I still call them by that term.
Here is another modernist buzz word to be aware of - "social justice." I cringe when I hear it. To me, it has the same effect as if I hear Kerry, Daschle, Teddy K, Willie J. or Hillary (you should pardon all those expressions) say it.
Even when Leo XIII uses it in Rerum Novarum in the late 19th century?
The Church has pushed for "social justice" since the time of Christ.
Good call. Anyone who calls income redistribution "social justice" is probably a Marxist. Social justice is a term which fundamentally means human freedom. We have Freedom in America, and income redistribution will not increase that. Solidarity was a movement for social justice; welfare is a movement to largely to validate economic dysfunction.
My University Center is having a "voting education" seminar, to present the necessary information so that the voters can make a well informed decision as to who to vote for in 2004. The speaker our Pastoral Associate got, the Peace and Justice person for the diocese. My skin began to crawl. This same Pastoral Associate disagrees with the contention that their are some non-negotiable moral stances, feels all issues are pretty must equivalent, and you catch what I am saying.
I am definitely ready to be my normal combative self.
