Wow, a Cardinal that isn't interested in saving souls.

[Arthur McGowan]

In the last few days I saw Fr. Richard McBrien declare on the "O'Reilly Factor" the same thing he teaches in his execrable book Catholicism: That abortion should NOT be illegal. And I saw Fr. Andrew Greeley smirk along with Chris Matthews over the fact that Catholics in America simply approve of abortion and do not care what the Pope teaches. Both priests should be LAICIZED and excommunicated for the scandal they have given. Greeley also reported that more than one bishop he has talked to says that Roe should NOT be reversed, because if that happens, there will be "contention" in our society, as the issue is debated state-by-state.

The absolute shambles that is the Catholic Church in America is being revealed for all to see. And the so-called "orthodox" bishops are NOT speaking up or acting decisively, while the sellouts like McCarrick, Egan, O'Malley, etc., are misstating Canon Law, making excuses for Kerry and his ilk, and dithering.

AAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHHH!!!

McCarrick doesn't care about the fate of his own soul, why should he care about anyone else's.

Well . . .

"Going to Heaven instead of hell USED to be the business of the Catholic Church, the ONLY business!"

This reminds me of some ad slogan from years gone bye. "Our only business" I can't remember what it was a slogan for, but whatever it was, maybe they can step in here and give the church some much needed direction.

It's really a shame what happens when left/lib/homos take over the whole enterprise.

That was interesting, wasn't it? O'Reilly was actually correcting him on matters on doctrine, and the shameful thing was, in this case, O'Reilly was right.

That's who O'Brien is!

I saw him on O'Reilly, too, and couldn't place him.

So, pray tell, just WHY are these so-called "priests" so reluctant to renounce "sin, Satan, and all he stands for" - as we just so reverently repeated at Mass this morning?

WHY are they worshiping the idols and lies of the democrat party at the expense of truth, justice, morality, honesty, international freedom (vice international socialism) and union thuggery as opposed to free-enterprise workers, businessmen and employers?

Going to Heaven instead of hell USED to be the business of the Catholic Church, the ONLY business!

That time, if it ever existed, was exceedingly brief. From what I can tell, that time existed only between the crucifixion of Christ and the first Indulgences. After that, the Catholic Church became just another tool of political powerbrokers. Saving souls became secondary after that. Now I don't even believe it's tertiary.

No offense to any Catholics intended. I'm just calling it the way I see it.

Anyone, of interest. When a politician is elected to represent a district if the district is pro-abortion - should he resign, recuse himself from life-legislation, or vote his conscience and take his chances on getting re-elected? What think ye?

appalled, speechless, sad bump for life, our Creator's breath.

I believe this post's topic is why: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1119897/posts

Kerry is a Catholic for the votes he hopes it will garner him.
For the Church, MY Church to indulge him, is beyond offensive.
Just think how the Church will look should this PRO-DEATH
man be elected president.
Why are they so short-sighted and afraid?

[Petronski]

Why are they so short-sighted and afraid?

I've narrowed it to two reasons for Catholic Church official timidity:

(1) Tax-exempt status
(2) Indifference

1 & 2 are certian - see below for #3
