Rev. James V. Schall, S.J., teaches political science at Georgetown University. His latest book, The Mind That Is Catholic, is published by Catholic University of America Press.
Perhaps I should rename the ping list to “Ultra” Catholic ;-) because you all fit this description.
Sniff....what about me???
I guess the definition of an ultra-Catholic is anyone who takes his faith seriously...
“What is dangerous is not some heretical notion of Christianity; it is Christianity itself, especially in its Catholic form.”
CS Lewis likened this idea to his times, too.
Odd really, ultra-Catholic of the 21rst C is simply an observant Catholic from my mother’s time. Not so very long ago and yet a civilization and society removed from sanity and morality and faith.
I have to tell you. All your hard work and sending us pings paid off for me yesterday. I had to explain original sin to my niece who is uneducated in the faith and not a very good Catholic.
Thanks! I think I got her to understand.
You’re new here, right?
The rules are, “Don’t make it personal...”
If you would like to visit with a Mod, we can ask for that.
May God give us some Ultra Catholic Candidates for Political Office in 2010 and 2012 and beyond. AMEN.

No at all.
“Once again, we see the underbelly of Rome.”
So, I’ll be blunt this time: Rome is a city. It has a seamy underworld that I’ve certainly known about.
What the city of Rome has to do with this thread regarding Catholics, well, I have no idea.
Don’t make it personal - because that’s against the rules, right?
But feel free to make foolish comments against an entire faith because that’s what anti-Catholics do - but gee, it’s not “making it personal”.
Ah, what an interesting thing the conscience of an anti-Catholic must be: not hindered by doubt in its aggression, not slowed by thought or reason in its lambasts, and as undeveloped as Protestant assumptions themselves. The perfect kind of conscience to be slaved to bigotry.
Schall forgot, “...he’s a democrat...”
Quotes? Where’s the link or are you quoting yourself?
“ultra-Catholic of the 21rst C is simply an observant Catholic from my mother’s time”
When I was growing up they were people to be looked up to and referred to as devout Catholics.
People have to invent new phrases to make themselves sound important...
So, you oppose being attacked but have no problem violating the RF rules by posting profanity (I believe the RM has stated many times that as far as the RF goes symbols are the same as words)?
Also, do you have a source for this quote are did you make it up yourself?
Has it escaped your notice that Protestants OPENLY EMBRACE abortion and homosexuality?
Ultra-Catholic is being used in a slightly sarcastic tone to denote people who actually follow the faith rather than those CINOs who pick and choose.
I often read the articles.
If you are quoting someone who used potty language, replace the phrase with a "[snip]."
I would prescribe one prayer to St. Michael...okay, maybe more than one.
