Just because I question infallible authority figures who have hidden corruption does not make one a “Catholic-hating bigot”. I would like a strong Church and Diocese, not a pay-to-play Church that is overrun by influential pro-abortion/theft laity (Which one Church I attended was, even the nun who ran RCIA and passed out Obama pamphlets during the class). Also again, what do you have against Spiritual discernment anyway? In your rush to judge have you forgotten basic Scripture?
I pray your son got a better Catholic education than I have read in your posts.
The only “infallible authority figure” there is in the Catholic Church, is the Pope in matters of Dogma only. Every person in the Catholic Church is human and has faults.
Pope Benedict would like a leaner stronger church. So one has a choice, learn about the Catholic Church and become stronger in one’s faith or find another church and help with the leaner part.
That is the choice. But to sit, moan and complain without finding out what steps ARE being taken, on Vatican time (not anyone else’s) puts one in the same category as those libs you denounce. In protest, so what does that make a person?
Protestant or part of a schism. With all the talk of pre-Vatican II, I suspect the later.
SSPX, SSPV?
So you self-identify with that description?
Interesting.
Do you profess the Catholic faith as set forth in the Catechism of the Catholic Church?
