Liberal US catholics dismayed at choice of Pope

I hope we see a "smack down" of these jerks, in the likes of a "loud silence" of what he (and the rest of The Church) thinks about their so called "action plan."

Didn't you see the smoke coming from St. Peter's? That was the Vatican's response to their "action plan".

I'm watching the replay on EWTN right now!

AND doing the happy dance!

Don't you see what is happening ? how the MSM is manipulation everyone into believing that all the NUNS are lesbian ? by showing all of these lesbian nuns on TV ?
I like your quote " The Churches are empty where Liberalism is practiced ".
Just like Liberal Talk Radio, most everyone here in America does not want to hear their drivel, and spew out their verbal diarrhea.
The liberals are really delusional, in the last election, during the situation of Terry and their bogus skewed polls, and them thinking that main steam America hold their ideas and values.
Homosexuality and Feminism is purely demonic and satanic.

Exactly!

Love the tag line.

Just got back from a wake. One of my fellow CCD teacher's mom passed away, so I went to pay my respects.

Here's a shocker... I am thinking of entering the deaconite program in a few years. My CCD teacher and I spent some time talking about this, as he is thinking along the same lines.

There is a crowd of angels clamoring for their wings today! And backlogged for the forseeable future!

[Northern Yankee]

As I mentioned to Karen, am thinking very seriously about the deaconite program in the future.

So many things have happened over the past few years that seem to be driving me in that direction.

I think we all, at least most of us, have come to a more devout approach to our faith, don't you think?

[SuziQ]

Just goes to show that he's the PERFECT choice!

[sinkspur]

Good for you!!!

[Northern Yankee]

Thanks...

Still lots of thought and prayer contine.

I am heartened, and inspired by our new Holy Father. I think Pope JPII has left the legacy that will continue for years to come.

[Miss Marple]

Well, here's a shocker for you. I am calling the local parish tomorrow to inquire about instruction for joining the Roman Catholic Church.

[Victoria Delsoul]

I think we all, at least most of us, have come to a more devout approach to our faith, don't you think?

Agree. At least we've learned to see beyond shallowness and as a consequence we've become more mature.

[sinkspur]

Good for you, too!!! You have an exciting time ahead of you!

[Miss Marple]

Well, this will be a test for me, as the hardest thing I will have to learn is obedience. However, I think this is my worst character trait, and I think the Lord wants me to learn it.

I have been feeling this call for quite a while, but the last month has convinced me I should make this effort.

[sinkspur]

Still lots of thought and prayer contine

Well, don't wait too long!! Most dioceses have a 3-4 year preparation program. Lots of weekends, and your wife will be asked to attend several weekends with you.

Keep us informed of your journey so we can pray for you along the way.

[Petronski]

The best obedience grows from love. All of Catholicism grows from and points back to Christ. As you pray and thus as your love for Him grows, obedience will turn from a command to a delight.

Keep praying!

Here's my take - liberal Boomers who grew up Catholic now are getting their AARP memberships, and have one foot in the grave.

They haven't been Catholic for decades, but are starting to panic, because they want a priest to say the old words over them at their funerals.

Being liberal Boomers, however, they HAVE to do it on their own terms.

Bummer of a day for them, then - I guess that they'll all have have their ashes shot out of a cannon, like Hunter S. Thompson.

Now for a discussion of the Latin roots of the phrase "neener neener"

I have been feeling this call for quite a while, but the last month has convinced me I should make this effort.

If you have a trusted and close Catholic friend or relative, you should honor them by asking him/her to sponsor you. The Church does not want you to make this journey of faith alone.

And, keep us informed, so that we can pray and be with you as you join this wonderful Body of Christ!
