Liberal and conservative Catholics alike would prefer not to discuss how the Catholic Church, here and abroad, functions like a liberal/left-wing political lobby.
Some pro-life Catholics are acting shocked that the Vatican warmly greeted the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama, who is pro-abortion. They don't seem to understand that the Vatican and Obama agree on most major international issues.
This is the untold story-how Obama and the Vatican accept major ingredients of what has been called a New World Order.
Another untold story is how, despite a disagreement over abortion, the U.S. Catholic Bishops and the Obama Administration agree on major aspects of so-called health care reform.

Yes.
I'm also aware what many paranoid anti-Catholic bigots have tried to do with it.

*That is a rhetorical question since the encyclical would sail too far over your grape for you to comprehend it.
“personal”
IS NOT REALLY that difficult a concept.
It comes from the word “person.”
A “PERSON” is
DIFFERENT from
1. A GROUP
2. THEY
3. Y’ALL
4. THEM
5. SOME OF THEM
6. CADRE
7. A COLLECTION OF
WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM [i.e. NOT the SAME as]:
A “PERSON” IS directly associated with
1. YOU
2. HE
3. SHE
I realize that the more chronic naysayers tend to have a dreadfully difficult time distinguishing between
DIFFERENT
VS
SAME
but it does make it a lot easier when some of them try.
AND, I realize that the more chronic naysayers have this THING about
OBSESSIVE, ADDICTIVE EXTRAPOLATING, ASSUMING, INFERRING . . .
however, as I understand things . . .
EXTRAPOLATING, ASSUMING, INFERRING . . . THAT A personal insult, attack has occurred . . .
[accurately or not]
. . . INFERRING, EXTRAPOLATING
A PERSONAL “INSULT” DOES NOT COUNT.
The rules have to do with plainly written PERSONAL insult.
We will return screens to regularly scheduled programming after the following freebie additional refresher lesson:
This English Comprehension lesson has concluded.
DISTINCTIONS REALLY ARE IMPORTANT.
DISTINGUISHING
THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN
THE CHURCH AGE
VS THE MILLENNIAL AGE
IS IMPORTANT IN SCRIPTURE. It could rationally be considered important in life.
DISTINGUISHING
THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN
AN INDIVIDUAL
VS
A GROUP
IS IMPORTANT.
DISTINGUISHING
THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN
calling even a group idiotic vs a belief, perspective, idea, doctrine idiotic
IS IMPORTANT.
I’m beginning to wonder if it’s something in the holy water that REPLACEMENTARIAN, preterist, amil’s might drink that renders them incapable of making important distinctions.
Of course, the awake, aware and alert need no such lessons and the otherwise will not heed them but . . . just for the record, there they are! LOL.
Some folks
fling epithets at folks not their identical twins
with about the same frequency as their breathing.
SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCHHHHHHHHHHH A MORTAL SIN!

Are you calling me a naysayer (personal) or simply reading minds?
Naw . . .
just articulating the usual list of self-evident to obvious facts is quite sufficient, usually.
There’s plenty of fodder for that.
Your particular judgment is going to be a real hoot, for the audience.
Neither.
I’m providing some background information for lurkers to make their own determinations.
I guess I should have included the RM’s bit about those with thin skins should steer clear of open threads.
Neither a sin nor what you did.
I gather some folks are in for some startling surprises on that score.
But that’s got to be a grant example of rule violation.
What’s that Lassie? There’s been an explosion down at the Hanna-Barbera font factory? Timmy fell down a well?
I’ll go get help!
If the author had anything worthwhile to say, he wouldn't have to make heavy use of attention-grabbers.
It’s always fascinating . . .
as a psychologist and sociologist . . .
to observe folks who’s identity is so ENMESHED . . . to use a technical term . . .
soooooooooooooooo ENMESHED with an organization . . .
as to be INCAPABLE of distinguishing between
their person-hood and the organization . . .
between SAME vs DIFFERENT
between me vs other
between group vs me
between an insitution vs its members
between the garden and a single rose
between a symphony and a single note
My experience would suggest that folks who have a significant degree of ATTACHMENT problems the first 6-8 years of life . . . grow up with such serious self-worth, insecurity etc. deficits that this
ENMESHMENT—OVERWHELMING IDENTIFICATION with the INSTITUTION, GROUP such that there’s no clear BOUNDARIES where the INSTITUTIION starts and stops and the individual begins. It’s all an intensely emotionally construed amorphous mass. The Individual is lost in the group in very telling and emphatic ways and degrees.
Sometimes I think the RELIGIOUS rulers 2000 years ago had a bad dose of the same or a similar problem. Their arrogance presumed that THEY WERE THE GROUP—or, at least, such an important part of it that further distinctions were unimportant. Cheek to the max, for sure.
It’s kind of a sort of confabulation.
Seems to me they ought to develop a diagnostic category for that.
Disagreeing with Quix is a sign of mental illness, donchaknow.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
what a sweet exhortation.
Goodness no!
Though it does sometimes appear that many cohorts seem to be energetically trying to prove that assertion correct.
