Traditional Catholicism Is Winning

Wall Street Journal ^ | 12 April 2012 | ANNE HENDERSHOTT AND CHRISTOPHER WHITE

[Cronos]

progressive Catholics were predicting the end of the celibate male priesthood in books like "Full Pews and Empty Altars" and "The Death of Priesthood." Yet today the number of priestly ordinations is steadily increasing

Time for "progressive Catholics" to either become "libtars" (aka progressives) or "Catholics"

It is a good title.

Fight, Fight, Fight, fight.

So they have queers standing in line to get into the priesthood. Hardly a sign of a healthy church.

Every day all of those new priests and all the faithful Catholics in the world and I pray for your soul.

Where does it say that these men are gay? The whole point of the piece is that it’s about a return to conservative Catholic values.

[RPTMS]

You’re holding that dog a little too closely.

[Rashputin]

Don't worry about it. It's just flame bait from someone who's ticked off because it's so obvious that all the faggots have moved to Protestant churches where they're praised, openly ordained, married to one another, and otherwise celebrated as special people.

Perhaps rather than spending your valuable time hating Catholics, try reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Once you are fully informed about that which you purport to hate, you can at least hate from an INFORMED position, rather than from ignorance which so ill-suits you.

[Cronos]

nope, normal, devout men. the queers head to be non-Catholic pastors..

[Cronos]

yes, after the ecusa, pcusa etc. accept gay marriage, everything is open in that strange world where faith is democratic voting

[Montana_Sam]

Not so. Take a look at this: http://osbnorcia.org/2012/02/28/quaereredeum

IMHO the Catholic church AND American Catholics are starting to realize what is happening. They've been tricked by Liberals but now see they have to stand up against the rise of tyranny as they did when they stood against Fascism in WWII. Catholics are big on tradition, and resistance against a hostile government goes back to the origins of the church. The rebellion will not be violent, the rebellion will not be noisy, but it will be unstoppable. My 2 cents.

You’re right - I shouldn’t mind. Off topic, but on Easter Sunday while walking my dog past our tiny, pretty Methodist church in town, I actually saw people carrying coffee into the 10am service. At least I’ve never seen THAT at a Catholic Mass.

[miss marmelstein]

This gives me an opportunity to promote one of the finest French-language movies I have ever seen: Of Gods and Men. About Trappist monks in Algeria. Beautiful and terribly sad. Not one of those monks were gay!

[karnage]

CLASSIC!

[karnage]

Celebrate the good news!

[sayuncledave]

Excellent news, cronos. Thank you.

Shouldn’t you be out cruising a singles bar looking to hook up?
