Crappy choice of heroes. I knew this guy was a heretic before I even converted to the RC Church.
If Ratziner does what he should do, this self-absorbed modernist feminazi Catholic woman won't have to leave the Church--she'll be thrown out!
It's like a kid who is whining because his mother won't let him eat ice cream for dinner - they demand that the church affirm their depravities.
As a Protestant, I can tell you that we don't want her type in our churches either. We've got too many of them too.
The liturgists, the catechists, the church architects, the academic theologians, the diocesan bureaucrats, the church music publishers, that's where the trouble lies. The worst sin most of the bishops committed was to let these folks infiltrate the church, occupy positions of influence, miseducate our children, and trivialize the liturgy.
These folks all heard Gramsci's advice about seizing the levers of power back around 1968, and that's just what they did. They take salaries paid for by church donations to corrupt the Church.
After a long-needed purge to take the ecclesiastical scalps of those currently running such dioceses and archdioceses as Rochester, Los Angeles, Fort Worth, Baltimore, DC, Seattle, San Francisco, Palm Beach, Johnstown-Altoona, Atlanta, and other current bastions of AmChurch and their enthusiastic clerical and lay co-conspirators, how long, O Lord, will it be before those places are cleansed so as to be reliable and safe for the practice of actual Catholicism.

Right on! My first remark when I heard Ratzinger was elected Pope was, "Thank you, Lord! It's time to take out the trash, and this man will do it!!"
My sympathy on your afflictions.
You saw it here on FR first:
"Every time a liberal squeals, an angel gets his wings!"
You gotta admit, this is a heckuva way to legitimize dope-smoking.
If they can't take control of the establishment they will do as much damage as they can on the way out. Can you say AmChurch schism? It is a likely last resort.
I think the Episcopal Church is tailored to your wants.
Sounds like this person would be more comfortable in the United Church of Christ or some similar denomination that isn't so intent on silly things like truth and the Scriptures.
Hers, perhaps.
Definitely not mine :o)
This lady doesn't want a church; she wants the DNC -- could someone direct her please?
Those Corpus Christi people were out there, weren't they? They're 'chapel' is right across the street from where I work. They rent space from a Presbyterian Church. Defunct, I think, in that no services are practiced there anymore, and it was turned into a day care center. The laicized Callan (sp?) still calls it Corpus Christi tough.
[Middle English, from Medieval Latin indultum, from Late Latin, concession, gift, from Latin indultum, neuter past participle of indulgêre, to be kind.]
Sorry, I meant her.
I haven't been in Rochester for long enough a period of time since I graduated high school to know what happened. I remember when Corpus Christi split - I was a senior in high school, and it was a big deal in the local paper.
Gee... Spiritus Christi. That brings back memories.
Funny how, in the end, it all comes down to sex?
The church does a major change every few centuries or so. I don't know why these people expect a 180 on their impulse.
A satire posted in another thread referred to a "Professor of Applied Autolatry" -- seems to sum up a lot of this!
