You are so right GSC but you and I live with this mind disease here. It’s all about abortion.
My “Catholic” siblings and relatives bow to the Democrats
They have no idea why, they just do it.
I haven’t been able to take myself to Church in 14 months,
I live my religion, I don’t attend it.
Between the Boston Arch Diocese and all of the dead friends and relatives I have.. I cannot support a Church that surreptitiously supports Child Predators, Abortionists, and Illegal Immigrants.
Benedict gave me some hope with his visit.
I’ll leave it at that.
You’ve committed what St. Francis de Sales called spiritual suicide.
I am in a similar quandry. Yesterday after mass the pastor and an illegal immigration 'activist' had a little symposium on how most of the negative stuff we have been hearing over the last couple of years is simple the 'unchristian' ravings of xenophobes. Surprisingly, when I asked about Jesus' teaching to 'render unto Caesar what is Caesars, and unto God what is God's', he had no answer. Just 'compassion, justice, etc. etc. blah blah blah'...I have 'retired' from Catholicism in the past for these same reasons (their defense of illegals and pedophile priests, their refusal to take doctrine seriously)...when I got married again in 2006 we resolved to resume going. But how (and why) should I continue when the American Catholic church is so out of touch with my beliefs? Any suggestions?
