Colleen,

I believe you are an "orthodox Catholic" along with most everyone here. But, that last link you posted is to a very whacked out bunch.

p.s. I'm no fan of Merton either. :-)

I agree, they are a whacked out bunch, but when you do a search for "Bella Dodd" that link comes up. I read as much as I can, probably disagree with most of it, and file it away. It's all you can do.

I just noticed how far out that site is too. Still it is good to see the arguments. Since John XXIII there have been many miracles and there have been those extraordinary phenomena for example, St.Pio, Mother Teresa, Betania and the appearance of Our Lady there....and most of all the continual Eucharistic miracles around the world. I think it is safe to say that God is very much with us no matter what the sins of the hierarchy have been.
