[Jim from C-Town]

The more Orthodox Conservative the Roman Church becomes, the more they will grow. Look to the protestant churches and their secularism and see what becomes of churches with fluctuating opinions about sin.

The Roman Church must become more conservative. More Hell Fire and Brimstone, less Love and Peace. More Hate the Sin, More CONVERT the sinner. Tell me they last time you heard a sermon that dealt with the idea of eternal hellfire as rewards for your earthly sins? When was the last time you heard a sermon explaining the sin of artificial contraception, Abortion, lying to achieve your professional goals, theft of time from your employer, or the sin of pornography and how it saps the soul? Never?

If they adhered to the natural order and eliminated the homosexuals that invaded the Church during the post Vatican II era they would expand beyond belief.

I know several men in their forties and early fifties who left the Seminary because of the Homosexual activity while they where there. They where disgusted by it and could not get the hierarchy to address the problem. Solve the root causes and the Church will grow quicker and stronger. Attempt to poke around the periphery as they have for forty years, and continue to suffer the rewards of the sins of omission.

We need more St. Jean-Marie Vianney’s and far fewer scripture scholars and liturgists.
