That is fascinating. And disturbing. And sadly consistent. No wonder 54% of U.S. Roman Catholics voted for Obama. They like him.

INDEED.

Of course, OThuga et al flatter the flesh.

That’s evidently a pretty easy slide for folks focused on, obsessed with pseudo-flesh as a religious ritual.

It's ironic that a conservative website would have a forum dominated by a liberal church. We can only hope that the conservatives in it will change the organization's culture, but I'm not hopeful. They reject the absolute authority of Scripture and instead believe their hierarchy has that power, not unlike liberals wanting govt to have absolute power.

I'm reminded of this authors beautiful testimony and the response to it.

Bible in hand, I proclaimed that "the absolute and final authority in all matters of faith and morals is the Bible, God's own Word."

Three days later, the archbishop of Vancouver, B.C., James Carney, called me to his office. I was then officially silenced and forbidden to preach in his archdiocese.
