“Each of these “three blind mice” should be instructed by his bishop to either stop misrepresenting church teaching or stop calling themselves Catholic.”
Are you kidding? What about Kennedy, Pelosi, Guiliani and countless other “Catholics”. Don’t you know these guys make a living in the MSM and cannot appear to be pro-Christian?
I'm not defending Kennedy, Pelosi, and Guiliani, but none of them are questioning the faith of others the way the journalists do. Jesus specifically instructed us not to do this.
I wouldn’t forgive or ignore the “pro-death” Catholics as representatives of Catholicism. But neither is Hannity or O’Reilly for example. Each of them rejects Church teaching in various areas of Moral Theology. Certainly a debate amongst theologians is possible on which sins or departures from Moral Theology are the graver, Abortion being worse than Contraception, but that in no way permits the latter. Accept the whole faith or deny the faith. I think that is what you see in Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity who play up their Catholicism but who dissent on Church teaching just as much or a little less than the pro-abort CINOs.
