Sheesh! Any thread about something good the Church is doing brings out the Catholic haters in droves. Why don’t you all take a deep breath and go back to Westboro Baptist Church (which, btw, is not truly Baptist but uses the name only because anybody can call themselves Baptist)?
“Gay marriage” is going to be the thing that will be used to silence and illegalize the Church in both Europe and the US. The Obamacare oppression doesn’t really need to get going. Now that all these countries have legalized gay marriage, becuase most people (Catholic, Protestant or agnostic) think that if something is legal under Caesar, it’s moral and legitimate, when Caesar comes after the Church on this issue, there will be no support.
And I think many people on FR, I hate to say it, would be cheering on the destruction of the Church. But we’re your only hope, so don’t be too hasty.
Throwing a cup of water on a house fire would be something good as well but will still bring criticism for its ineffectiveness.

That s a funny thing to read having just returned from Mass.
"Why don’t you all take a deep breath...
Sitting back and taking deep breaths, issuing meaningless papers about "concerns" are what got us here.
"and go back to Westboro Baptist Church (which, btw, is not truly Baptist but uses the name only because anybody can call themselves Baptist)?
Not a fan of those whackjobs, sorry to disappoint.

Which is exactly why yet another article in some Italian newspaper "expressing concern" is a joke.
"And I think many people on FR, I hate to say it, would be cheering on the destruction of the Church."
Some might, along the lines of wanting the GOP destroyed to be replaced with a real conservative organization, but not me. I prefer that both go on and succeed and will criticize both for milk toast responses and leftward leanings.

Yes, we are. (In case you are missing my points, I yelled at Joe Flacco today as well-but to say I'm a Pittsburgh fan because of it is silly. Its about wanting your team to win-which we did today!)
