Good for the Roman Catholic Church.
All these non-Catholic Catholics (maybe even non-Christian Catholics) can come to my denomination, the Presbyterian Church (USA). You don’t gotta believe nuthin to be in my church! Why heck, we make it up as we go.
(It’s a long story why I’m still in the PC (USA)...)
Attention American Catholic Council .... the Roman Catholic Church is not a democracy.
The Church is not listening? hardihar. They can find Theology by Committee all over town but not in Rome.
Semantics.
It isn’t THEIR CHURCH. It is Christ’s church and he’s spoken already.
Christ reigns - you worship and obey.
That’s the order of things.

Correction: It is the Liberal Catholics who are not listening to the Holy Spirit teaching through the Catholic Church. If they do not believe that the Holy Spirit does indeed preserve Church teaching from error then they should admit that they are not Catholics and leave us in peace.
Last gasp?
I had a theology professor who was a very liberal “Catholic”. She holds a Master’s Degree in theology.
She believed women should be ordained.
She believed all priests should be allowed to marry.
She believed that the Eucharist should be open to all comers, regardless of their beliefs.
She believed that the Eucharist was nothing more than a community meal, no different than a regular meal.
She believed that she could and would be a better priest than any priest she knew.
I was a thorn in her side in that class to say the least.
Near the end, I asked her why she didn’t leave the Catholic church for the Episcopalians.
Her answer....”I love the Catholic Church”
These people are delusional.
The Catholic Church listens to God, not Joan Chittister.
Who’s got one of those pics of a teeny tiny violin playing a sad, sad song?
Regards,
nobody is forcing them to stay. Nondenom churches holds services in local theaters, why don’t they go there?
