there is no such thing as a militant Catholic. Militant people who think they’re Catholic, maybe.

Certainly many on this site. I don't know how many time I've been called a heretic by one merely because I'm an evangelical Christian.

Catholics are misled by western leadership and even misguided clergy.

When high-profile "Catholic" politicians can get away with the most evil stances imaginable and still be considered in "good standing" with the Church, it sends a powerful signal. Who's fault is that?

The Church hierarchy does not consider them to be in good standing.

No sale. I’d need to see an example of that.

The Church’s standing is clear to anyone properly formed in the faith. We are all judged by what we know. I’ve been told I’m in trouble by non Catholics, but we are not in the business of telling people they’re going to hell for not converting to Catholicism. UH UH.

Uh, misguided clergy, like I stated.
Or well- meaning clergy with their own judgment/discernment in use. It sends a horrific message, and I regularly voice that idea in letters to them.
