your tactics are ineffective, if that is indeed your intent. i am not sensitive at all. i am secure in my faith, i have been a catholic since my baptism 53 years ago. my brother left the Catholic church to marry my sisterinlaw, he’s a Baptist now. we coexist in perfect Christian harmony. he doesn’t badmouth what he left behind, i don’t badmouth that to which he has turned. my husband and i have three children whom we have put through Catholic schools. My oldest, a college junior, attends an authentically catholic university. I have plenty of gripes with the happy slappy catholics who pick and choose what they want to believe. But the church is solid in it’s prolife stance and has done more than any other church, IMO, in promoting the sanctity of life. Bad apples in every bushel or faith. People are human, and no one is without sin.
I have no agenda.

I'm happy for ya. You're still sensitive. Your church isn't beyond tough love and criticism. I'm happy for your harmony.
