Pope St. Pius X "Do not allow yourselves to be deceived by the cunning statements of those who persistently claim to wish to be with the Church, to love the Church, to fight so that people do not leave Her... But judge them by their works. If they despise the shepherds of the Church and even the Pope, if they attempt all means of evading their authority in order to elude their directives and judgments..., then about which Church do these men mean to speak? Certainly not about that established on the foundations of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone." (Eph. 2:20)

Just curious. Are you accusing me of trying to "elude" the directives and judgments of the Church? If you have something in mind, you just let me know. But you don't see me asking to dispense with the Church's perrenial teachings on abortion, birth-control, fornication, marriage. I got no problems with the Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception, the Trinity or the Resurrection of Christ. I believe in the real presence in the Eucharist , the forgiveness of sins and the resurection of the body. I am also a big supporter of the novel idea that Catholics have an obligation to spread the Gospel and convert sinners to the faith. (But I am not entirely sure this is Bishop Levada's take on the subject.) What exactely are you accusing me of trying to "evade"?
