and the grace and the forgiveness I have found only through the Catholic Church.

Gee and I thought grace and forgiveness came through Jesus Christ (/sarcasm)

I think it best that I no longer play a role as an adviser in this year's campaign.

The fact that the *poodle* won this smear-campaign-based skirmish ticks me off to no end.

I feel badly for this guy. A lot of people are rotten apples before they convert to the Church. I was a bad Catholic before I started trying to be a good one. And anyone who takes a risk and adopts one of those poor Romanian kids has got to have some heroic virtue.

The next day I received a call from a liberal Catholic publication requesting a comment. In response to the reporter's question I told him that I thought the Conference had done the right thing.

I wonder which one, is it the one supporting John Kerry?

Doesn't that mean they are no longer a Catholic Periodical, but a catholic one now?

Do anyone else understand why it should be a big deal about being in union with Rome?

How about if you're more careful about double posting next time? It really ticks me off when a thread with 30 posts gets pulled because of being a "duplicate," and it turns out that the same guy posted the article twice.

Deal needs to go nuclear and reveal the "journalist."

I know a lot of people don't think a lot of Malcolm X, but I always respected the guy. I understood his disaffection with Whites, that was to be understood in light of both his family and Clan history. His 'either by the ballot or the bullet' was a great statement that I'm sure even the Founding Fathers would have liked.

Anyway (and I'll be paraphrasing here), once when he was being hounded by the Press, a reporter dredged up a skeleton or two, and hit X with them somewhat unexpectedly. Malcolm looked right at the guy, and said so?

He said something to the effect of, I came to terms with my transgressions long ago, you can trot them out from sun-up to sun-down, they, and as a consequence, you, hold no power over me, so be gone.

Good stuff, if you ask me. And more people should reply in such a way, because it totally defangs that particular bunch of vampires.

If his beliefs do not guide his public policy, what would?

His comrades would.

Seriously, I cannot for the life of me understand how devout Catholics could in good faith vote for this man. His disregard for the clear teachings of his Church, the scriptures, and his obvious deceitful life should tell them something about his character.

It's a shame that Hudson was pushed to leave his work in the Campaign. What he is trying to do now is what's important.
