I'm not trying to mollify anybody.
They have their opinions, I have mine. I thought that's what this forum is about, expressing opinions.
Nah, not quite that simple sinky.
The good bishop Helmsing's condemnation of NCR stands, more so today even, than back in 1968.
You are making lame excuse of spewing and endorsing Rat Poison for souls. Be honest about it.
The Roman Catholic Church is the Roman Catholic Church and not subject to the "democracy" or the anarchy of its enemies. Abortion is ALWAYS wrong outside of imminent, physical threat of the death of the mother that can be avoided in no other manner. Homosexual sex is ALWAYS intrinsically wrong and intrinsically disordered. Just two of thousands of examples of why the National antiCatholic Reporter is, well, antiCatholic.
The argument that those who are reasonably outraged at the abuse of the common law trademark of "Catholic" in the fraudulent title: National (anti)Catholic Reporter should simply not read it is quite analogous to the argument that those who do not like Islamofascism as practiced at the World Trade Center and Pentagon on 9/11 should not enter big buildings. Whether the enemies are those who libel Catholicism by calling themselves "Catholic" while promoting abortion, homosexuality, Fr. McBrien, Frances Kissling, Archbishop Weakland, et al., or Islamofascisti who fly airliners into WTC and Pentagon,. the appropriate response is the same: Hang 'em High!!!!
While the Islamofascisti seek to very visibly kill the body, the AmChurchians seek the more stealthy and permanent spiritual death of immortal human souls.
