Fyi, the Caths, and even prots, on FR mostly do not represent ordinary, typical members of their sects. The Caths here are decidedly “traditionalists” with narrow, right-leaning views. They may reject modern theology and even tenets of Vatican 2. Some even reject the “new” (1969) liturgy. They have alot of good points, but they are a minority. As the pope has often said, they are in general people with rigid and hidebound thinking. No one but they obsess about doctrine, heresy, hell, Fatima, canon law. Your active 80% of Catholics don’t even touch on these topics. Trads are good Catholics, but just from a different viewpoint. So keep in mind when you’re online there are various schools of thought under the umbrella “Catholic.”

Ohh...”narrow, right-leaning views”. You sound almost, dare I say it, progressive!

My sister lives in highly Catholic WNY in the immediate Buffalo area and she says that all the Catholics she knows just LOVE the new pope.

All this (and more; probably) can be said about the Prots who post here.

20% of the folks do 80% of the work.
