Again, from the article, direct quote from Fr. Kennedy:

"Most of the people who come here are what we call 'recovering Catholics'.

Hmmmm .... yes. The term refers to those who reject one or more matters of Catholic doctrine, usually regarding sexual morality. A better term for them would be heretics or schismatics. Apostates, even, in some cases.

“Recovering Catholic” is a term used by moral light-weights to proclaim the reason for their bad behavior; usually they blame their parenting as well. You hear it used often at AA meetings by participants not willing to take responsibility for their shortcomings. When I hear someone calling him/hersef that, I customarily walk out and find another meeting.
