Getting rich off the Lord... novel concept...oh I guess not. At least Bill doesn't "wear the cloth".
But you give us so much ammunition, and so often...
Besides, Jesus said to expose you people and 'Come out from among them'...
So are all the 'bad' Catholics supporting Obama or Hillary???
How many bad Catholics are there in the Body of Christ, Christ's Bride???

I don’t know of any good Catholics who are supporting Obama or Hillary.
“How many bad Catholics are there in the Body of Christ, Christ’s Bride???”
Unknown. How many bad Protestants are there in that whole collection of sects called Protestantism?
You said: expose you people
Using “you”...does that make it personal?
NOTE: posted to the RM “and” Alex just in case “one” or the “other” did not see it.
You wrote:

“you people”? Wow, your hypocrisy is breath taking.
We're all bad...However, only those Protestants that are 'saved' are in the Body of Christ'...Any heathen can be a Protestant, or Catholic...
“you people”? Wow, your hypocrisy is breath taking.
No hypocrisy at all...Although there may be some saved among you, we (and you) are instructed that we have nothing in common with darkness...
Come out from among them...
Alex, er, the moderator didn't respond so I'm safe...
Wasn't personal in my view...
Who copied my post???
Jesus said, "they hated me before they hated you."... and we see that on this web site.
I lived right next to Grant when we were undergrads. When we were Freshmen, he was a paleocon. These days, he is another trendite liberal douchebag.
Donahue's right. They are bad Catholics.
The Rule of Benedict: Pope Benedict XVI and His Battle with the Modern World (Hardcover) by David Gibson (Author)
According to Publisher's Weekly he wants the priesthood opened up to women. Perhaps he should have converted to the Episcopal church. Sound's like a combination of sour grapes and poor catechisis.
From Publishers Weekly When Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger's name was announced as the new leader of the Roman Catholic Church on April 19, 2005, Gibson, a journalist and Catholic convert, was among the throng but not cheering. The author of The Coming Catholic Church considers himself part of "the silent majority of Catholics, who were hoping, praying, for the vibrancy and openness that would herald a new chapter in the history of the church." Instead, he writes, they got a "polarizing figure" with a well-publicized past, a man known for his heavy hand with liberation theologians and others deemed to veer toward heterodoxy. In this detailed examination, Gibson tells how Cardinal Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI, and why his ways of thinking about the church may not bode well for efforts to reform it in such areas as governance and opening the priesthood to women or married men. He paints the new pontiff as someone who is more interested in the personal piety of Catholics than their engagement with the world and issues of social justice. Readers who have been watching the new pope for signals of what his papacy will bring will find this to be absorbing reading. (Oct.)

I like Bill Donohue because he defends not just Catholics, but ALL Christians.
"You" is not "making it personal" when it is speaking collectively, e.g. those of a particular belief.
The post in question is speaking collectively.
It can be hard to tell the difference, so some posters avoid the word altogether.
Thanks...I'll try to avoid the term in the future...
Nah, it’s perfectly ok. I often have used “you” meaning group and have had it misinterpreted as a personal attack on the person I was responding to and been admonished for a personal attack. I understood you were referring to the group “you” but was looking for clarification from the RM on acceptability.
For all of Gibson’s blathering and his personal attack on Donahue, he still can’t refute Donahue’s charges against Obama’s Catholic National Advisory Committee.
