Catholic Caucus Thread

[Salvation]

One of my favorite topics. Evangelization is just beginning to come of age in the Catholic Church. We are learning how to do it. Ask questions? Contact and invite.

How would you like to go to Mass with me? To Adult Bible Study with Father _________?

I’ll pick you up for Scripture Study next Tuesday morning.

Are you interested in suffering? (Answer Yes or No doesn’t really matter.) That’s great! We’re going to have a presentation on the Catholic way of looking at suffering next _______ evening. How about you being my guest?

I left the Catholic Church, after 12 years of Catholic education & teaching CCD for 3 years. I attended dozens of churches & found them to be more concerned with being politically correct than standing up for what is right.
They don't talk about abortion, premarital sex, gay marriage...IN the chuches. I volunteered at a pro-life pregnancy center & these girls are not hearing what is right & wrong by the church. The pope or bishop might make a public statement, but their are also priest who are very far left & the church does nothing about them. If someone does not hear God's word & how we should live IN CHURCH, they will live as the world does. Many churches let pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage...canidates come and speak at there churches. No one has stopped the evil Nancy Pelosi or the late Kennedy from receiving the sacraments. I can name you over one people who left the church for this reason. These people have found churches who show in God's word how we ought to live & the repercussions when we don't. I still visit A Catholic church on occasion & so far have found nothing has changed.

My impression is that Janet did not listen to the video of Fr. Breen.

These folks need to take a class in logic.

Traditional parishes are thriving.

EWTN and Catholic radio are thriving...

This must be because they have something to offer..

Could that be firm, unambiguous teaching rather then feel good soft puffy rhetoric.

Thanks for this. I really needed it today. My friend, a fallen away Catholic that I’ve been praying for, really frustrated me today. I was saying a decade of the rosary with my 3 year old daughter when he called. I told him what we were doing & he said “sounds like a bunch of hoodie-ha to me”! AAAGGGHHHH!!!!!! I cannot stand the thought of this man being in Satan’s grasp! I prayed so hard this evening for him & will continue to do so. I can be pretty stubborn.....he dosen’t know who he’s messing with ;-)
