OK, anybody that knows my position on what's happening in the Catholic church,.......TOLD YOU SO! Everybody pooh poohed the majority voting for Obama, allowing his speech at Notre dame, taking democrat positions on illegals, and on an on and on. You all said, calm down, the majority is still conservative. Pelosi, Bidden, Kerry, and the whole Kennedy clan is just an aberration. I said looking at the Church's positions now, we are the minority and the loons are in charge. You came back quoting some obscure bishops magazine article or some other utterance by some lonely conservative and told me to relax.

I can already write what your next response will be. "Well, this is San Francisco, what do you expect?"

I expect heads to roll and some excommunications. I recommend reading Corinthians to see what Paul said to a liberal church. If it steps on some big toes, so be it.

I have held my tongue for months now with story after story of decay in the Church. This just was a straw too heavy for my back. I guess mass will be done by the local Imam next. The Church had better wake up and stop these fools! Take up for them and protect them at your own peril. There is either authority in the church or not. As for me, I don't go along to get along. Call me a Catholic basher if you want to, but it's right there in your face and most are in denial.

WHAT!? This cannot be allowed to happen. How can we stop this? I am going to send this story to TFP, I hope they can get a petition going.

Stop hyperventilating. The Magisterium is the Magisterium regardless of whether discipline is light or heavy, and the Magisterium has not wavered on the moral teachings of the Church. The provisions on homosexuality in the Catechism of the Catholic Church are clear as crystal.

Often, I take signs like these to be The End Days. I think I may start activly praying for them.

We have two Catholic U.S. Senators and one Catholic State Senators. All huge libs, all huge abortion promoters. Why don’t their parishes boot them out of the congregation???

[metmom]

What is most appalling is the excuses and justification we here from Catholics and the almost complete absence of condemnation of this sort of thing or the RCC leadership in not addressing it from all the FRoman Catholics on this board.

[Quix]

Nice to see an RC with some Christianity in his blood.

Please infect the rabid cliques hereon with same.

[Alas Babylon!]

Call me a Catholic basher if you want to, but it's right there in your face and most are in denial.

Are you a Catholic? If so, you are not a basher, and I share you passion and anger.

If you are not a Catholic, then I fail to see how it could or would concern you...

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

That is the one thing I worry about the RCC. The Pope does not seem to have an email account where he can send out the “You are an Ex-Catholic and can no longer administrate or take the sacrament” missiles.
