It's a shame- but it went off the tracks in the 1960's, and I don't know if it can ever really recover.

Indeed it did. It was infiltrated by Communists. A FReeper named Polycarp can refer you to the documented facts of these events. Communists hate the Catholic Church as much or more than they hate America. They have infiltrated both and seek to destroy us from within.

After many years of disillusionment, many other Conservatives and I have returned to the Church to fight a battle against this evil.

We need your prayers.

Excellent. I've never shut up at church, always voted for the pro-life candidate and told everyone why. A bunch of us have "I'm pro-life and I vote" bumper stickers on our cars.

Pelosi needs to be drummed out of the church, if not by the bishop, then by the parishioners. She gives Catholics a bad name--as do the Kennedys, and other political figures who claim they are Catholic and vote for abortions.

I agree about the infiltration of the Church by Marxists. That whole movement dismayed a bunch of us Catholics, for those here on the forum who don't know.

I beleive that the commies have been after our church since at least the 1850s through what Leo XIII called nihilism.

There is a good thread earlier about how PC can replace earlier so called ethics.
