I’ve often wondered if some well-known leftist at a place like the NYT was to write an article entitled “The Evils of Catholicism” what the reaction would be.

The article could go through a whole litany of things, but conclude by saying that the real evil is in the opposition to abortion, pre-marital sex and homosexuality. Would the anti-Catholics even read it or would they just jump on board?

Do the anti-Catholics realize that they are playing into the left’s hand? The left DOES NOT CARE what the Church believes about the Blessed Mother, Baptism, the Eucharist or anything else that gets discussed on these threads. The left doesn’t actually even care about any clerical abuse that happened in the past. The left wants to destroy the Church because of its stand on moral issues (moral issues that evangelical Protestants claim to agree on) and nothing else.

true — that’s why the left first picked off the smaller groups — the ECUSA, ELCA,PCUSA, Methodists and now they want to hit the Mother Church. We won’t let them — let’s fight for kicking out the pinkos from the ELCA. The battle ends there on Lutheran turf — being “Lutheran” should not become “oh, you belong to that gay church”, like what’s happened to the Episcopalians.

I agree, which is why I question the motives and even the claims of religious denomination by at least some of that group.
