Happily I don’t belong to a “new church.”

That’s why I go to an Independent Fundamental Baptist church. IFB churches are run by men.

My mother; may she rest in peace, even refused to go to any of the lay people giving communion. She would only go to the priest. She is fortunately that she is not here today to see what has become of the traditional churches.

Sadly, not just a Catholic problem.

Visited a UMC service recently. I was sickened by the effeminate pastor and his all girl eldership.

Gee, you think the massive destruction of Vatican II had anything to do with the conditions in the Church? Now they are prepared to double down with “new” theology. Suddenly, divorce is OK, homosexuality is OK, Mohammedanism is OK. Only those who maintain the faith of our fathers are condemmed.
Why should anyone join a religion that believes nothing?

The bishops are failing to hold the line on religious education. We are Catholic but we homeschool. Until the bishops get their collective acts together, that won’t change.

This reminds me of the story about the woman who attended a Greek Orthodox service one Sunday. After it was over she cornered the priest and after complimenting the chanting, she asked why she as a woman could not be ordained a priest in their church. The priest stood in stony silence for more than a minute staring at her, and then replied...
"Can you grow a beard?"

It is not just the church, it is our whole country. Take a walk down any large city’s streets, college campus, or a mall and tell me what you see.

Well stated. This is a society problem, not a Catholic one.

Because I had the audacity to stand up to several women at a parish in Baldwinville, Massachusetts who were disrespecting Our Eucharistic Lord by talking loudly and laughing before the tabernacle as people attempted to prepare for Holy Mass, I was told by the priest that I am a "large man" who is scary and that I would be "ostracized." There's the problem - the protection of abusive females by the church. American Catholicism is filled with some of the most abusive, caustic, aggressive, hypocritical feminists in this country. Yes, that's a generalization. IMO, however, it's also true. And so it's not hard to see why Catholic men who have to put up with these females in the rest of their lives choose to walk away from a Church that not only protects their arrogance, but empowers it as well.
Flame away, but that's my experience many times over.

The new blogpimps. Highly unmasculine. It's a good post and a good thread, except for your metrosexual snark. Get a life and stay out of the way of the adults.

My evangelical church is filled with ex catholic family men who don’t want to expose their children —especially their sons — to catholic priests.

I think statistically they are now more likely to be abused than in a Catholic Church. Mrs. Don-o has the stats on that.
