Can you tell me why this article exists only in your posts and nowhere else? No other source of it can be found. Perhsps its authenticity is accepted by you only because it reinforces a view point that is both contrary to the Catechism of th Catholic Church and unflattering.
IF you follow the link, you'll see that it was originally posted by one of your own...
It’s all over the internet. And I didn’t post it on FR. A Roman Catholic posted it. Did you even go to the link I gave?
This is fascinating. You are not only denying this article's veracity, but you're saying I somehow have made it up?!?
You say this article is "unflattering" and "contrary" to the RCC catechism.
ROTFLOL.
You're actually questioning whether or not this is a legitimate article???
Maybe there's hope yet.
I'm sorry to gloat, but this makes staying up late on a Saturday night posting to a chat room all worthwhile.
For your peace of mind...and because we're such great FRiends, here's Father Baker's "unfalttering" and "contrary to the Catechism" article.
Now if we find this FR thread suddenly pulled years after it was proudly posted by a prominent FR Roman Catholic (apparently Catholic Dossier finds it inconvenient) then we'll know too many strings have been revealed behind the puppet show.
And the curtain drops with a THUD.
I was the one that originally posted the article and fully agree with its contents. Unfortunately, the article is no longer available in the archives of Homiletic and Pastoral Review.
Does that mean I agree with the apparent offense taken by some of our separated brethren because they don't understand and are offended by the Sacraments instituted by Christ? Of course not.
But do read the article, still available on FR, for yourselves.
