Seems its not just the Scottish Episcopal clergy that's a bit restive these days...
(Just kidding, just kidding.) ;-)
It's a landslide.
Then these ARE NOT CATHOLIC. It means something to be Catholic, it doesn't mean our Faith should be watered down, degraded and well everyone use the title Catholic and do as they please...Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever..don't degrade the deaths of the Millons of Martyrs who died for the Catholic Faith throughout the beginning, of the Catholic Faith.
In 1864,the Blessed Mother Mary, told Melanie,one whom she appeared to..and this is an official vision of Mary, long approved by the Catholic Church, and quoted.." In 1864, Lucifer together with a large number of demons will be unloosed from hell,they will put an end to the Faith little by little,even in those dedicated to God,They will blind them in such a way,that unless they are blessed with a special grace,these people will take on the spirit of the angels of hell;several religious institutions will lose ALL faith and will lose many souls...." and she warned the people of what would become of the Cathoilc Faith..and this is part of a long explanation.....Yes, to be Catholic has a meaning and has a purpose and no one can just do or say as they please and remain a TRUE CATHOLIC>> God help us all.
I'd like to see the demographic break down on that supposed "Poll". I would venture a guess that the older post Vatican II dissenters would be a large part of the "Yes" men.
The seminaries are full of JJPII inspired young men who seek to be married to the church! The goodness of this Pope is still yet to be realized, there is a quiet revolution going on out here in the hinterlands and the gates of Hell will not prevail!

How about if they remain celibate every other Tuesday? I mean, if we're going to start something, let's look and see where it's going. (And anywhere the Church of England is still lingering on, that should not be tough to do.)
That still leaves 60% that have a different opinion, as if this was a popular referendum. 40% need to look for other work.
"Following the death of Pope John Paul II last weekend, a Sunday Times survey has revealed widespread support for a more liberal line to be taken by his successor."
This statement is sheer BS and is not even supported by their own statistics. Clearly from the figures presented here, the majority do not want any change on these doctrines and disciplines.
I am amazed that only 1 in 5 of those responding (or selected) for the poll wanted to change the Church's teaching on contraception. If around 80% of the priests in one of the most liberal hierarchies in the Catholic Church support the Church's teaching on contraception and 100% of them on abortion, then this is very good news indeed.
It goes to show how unrepresentative our liberal episcopates are of the clergy generally.
It is also very good news that only 1 in 5 support women's ordination, and only 1 in 4 support homosexual ordination. Things are in much better shape than I thought, and, in the priesthood at least, the liberals are very much in the minority.
Gentlemen, can you say abortafacient? Do you now what it means? If you purport to be rational human beings, please keep your line of thought consistent.
