An odd post: I wonder if the editors realized they hurt their article by duplicating their paragraphs...

Regrettably, the "Catholic" community DOESN'T get heard in these or other debates, but the media-assisted "false Catholics (like Sheehan) get the advertising. The press ignores/denigrates the official spokesmen.

Unless it is Clinton's spokesperson - THEN the official word is the only word that gets out.

Catholics — those who truly have the courage to stand athwart a secular culture of death yelling stop — should find their best and brightest clear-talking believers, and get them into the Blackberry address books of reporters and bookers and bloggers. The “Catholic” voices ought to be Catholic. That’s how you get out the Good News.

Reporters already know the stance of solid Catholic teaching and prefer to publish 'opposing' views, which garner them more readers. Frances Kissling and her ilk are rapidly aging with few, if any, replacements. Eventually, the mainstream media will be left with no options other than to report the 'truth' of Catholic teaching .. or nothing at all.

I'm not a Catholic, but I do send my daughter to Catholic school and they have a pretty simple method for determining who is an active Catholic and who isn't. If you are registered with their parish, have a record of regular attendance at mass as determined by collections envelopes, have filled out a sacrificial giving card and have a record of participation in parish activities, then for purposes of school admission you qualify as a Catholic and can receive reduced tuition. I would be interested in seeing how many of these Catholics For a Free Choice would qualify. Not many I bet.

Man oh man, this drives me crazy!

I have a friend who tells everyone she is a Catholic BUT:

- she believes in "a woman's right to choose"

- she believes that birth control is a responsible decision if it's not convenient to have children, because abstinence is too much to ask

- she believes that you never have to go to Mass, as long as you "feel spiritual"

- she believes that it's better for her son's girlfriend to spend the night with him at his house, because then she can make sure they both get to school on time in the morning

- she believes that the Eucharist is only a symbol

- she believes that you can do anything you want, as long as you are "a nice person"

- she thinks that the Pope is behind the times and needs to be more "progressive"

Well, I don't know what religion she is, but it certainly does not appear to be Catholic!

I run into coutless others who say they are Catholic BUT...

I have yet to run into a Presbyterian BUT or a Methodist BUT or an Orthodox Jew BUT.

Maybe they should peel off and form their own "religion." We can have Roman Catholics and Catholic BUTs.

Sheesh - I guess you hit a hot button with me!
