Many Catholic Brazilians do not find an overlay of pagan religious beliefs and practices inconsistent with their more orthodox beliefs. One need only visit Copacabana on New Year's Eve or Salvador da Bahia on Jan. 6 or the whole country on Shrove Tuesday to observe festivals that are mostly pagan (but not necessarily evil).Of course not. In Catholicism, only Jewish rituals are evil. Pagan rituals are welcomed with open arms and always have been.
I wonder if Greeley would be as tolerant of six day creationism or Biblical literalism as he is of pagan beliefs???

As a Catholic and a usual fan of yours, I have to say this last post is one of your all-time worst and beneath you.
And don't lump Greeley in with observant, obedient Catholics.

And why, pray tell, should we care what a well-known modernist liberal priest and sociologist who has made millions of dollars from selling steamy novels tolerates, or doesn't tolerate?
