As foretold in the book of Revelation, God is moving the lampstand of the Gospel from the immoral, anti-God nations to those whom He will save.

The MSM doesn't get it. Catholicism is a belief system; those that accept Catholic teaching are Catholics. Those that oppose it are not. The world is full of alternate belief systems. Everyone has freedom of choice.

LOL! Thanks for the correction! You're correct, they do pick and choose every day, and sometimes it's the "daily special".

another poster said the latin america candidates are very socialist in their ecconomics. Are there any good conservative candidates from Latin America?

Shep Smith was asking about catholic church POLICY!! POLICY mind you, not doctrine! it is going to drive me over the edge before it is over.

Me too. I don't think I can take two weeks of this, although the tribute coverage has been generally very good.

Don't have time to debate the issue now but all the Eastern-Rite Catholics agree in the same Catholic Faith.

yes it has been, and i can tell they are TRYING to be sensitive to this stuff and when they tread into the pedophilia topic, they invariably say something like well to leave it on a better note...and go onto something positive that he accomplished. But i know they are going to work those wedge issues right up to the very end.

When the coverage goes "over the top" or into sheer wacked stupidity on the news nets, I switch over to EWTN.

"they had a woman theology professor on Fox and Friends yesterday AM that made some of the same points you did and made them eloquently. i wish i could recall her name."

 

Her name is Dr. Janet E. Smith, and she's great! I'm so happy she's teaching at a seminary!

"HOPEFULLY, the NEW Pope will come from Africa or Latin America!!!!"

JPII was chosen from Poland and now the Wall has fallen. Maybe the next Pope should be (a non-PRC-affiliated) Catholic Chinese?

I find this so strange...

Pope John Paul II was great...We don't want another one like him.

doesn't compute somewhere.

I just finished listening to her free CD, "Contraception, Why Not?" last week. I highly recommend it.

thank you! she was wonderful! especially likening it to being 5'3" and unlikely to be drafted by the Detroit Pistons! all of her points were valid, how at least 82% of the employees of the Catholic Church are women, that nuns are heads of universities, hospitals, chanceries of dioceses, etc. That there is no shortage of ways for women to serve the church, that they do not NEED to be priests. heck i feel that way about girl altar servers and am glad to live in one of only 2 dioceses in the country that still don't permit them.

well let me tell you, the only ones the matthews family are picking are social justice issues.

I don't know why they bother calling themselves catholics

They obviously don't believe in the foundation of the catholic faith

ED Hill is exposed more and more as a leftist who is not morning worthy. If I want a ditzy leftist blond I will watch katie couric. IOW no morning TV.

They need to replace ED Hill. I find myself watching (shudder) C-Span.
