Weasels come popping out of the woodwork!
" This has been done because the serious weight of the L rating -- which restricts films in that category to those who can assess from a Catholic perspective the moral issues raised by a movie -- is, unfortunately, misunderstood by many."
What balony! Assessing from a Catholic perspective cannot mean anything other than pity and shame.
"Because, in this instance, there are some who are using the "L" rating to make it appear the Church -- or the USCCB -- position on homosexuality is ambiguous, the classification has been with revised specifically to address its moral content," says the new USCBB posting."
So, while the "many" are unable to assess the movie from a Catholic viewpoint, others, the "some" are attempting to make the movie if not affirmative of homosexuality, at least neutral? Who are the "some?" I don't believe anyone other than those in the USCCB office.
Dear USCCB,
At least stop playing us for fools. You either use this as a teaching opportunity to expand Christian understanding, or you forfeit your authority. Didn't one of the modern saints see bishops walking up a mountain some lacking heads, others asleep, and others just filthy?
You absolutely cannot hide now, or in the everafter. Teach, or be condemned. There aren't other choices.
Sincerely,
Opus
The snide tone towards those of us who criticised them fairly drips from the statement.
Bingo! We're all sick and tired of being taken for "non thinking" chumps.
Seriously, something must be done to abort the USCCB. What a waste of time, money and resources.
