If Catholics want “liberal” go to the Episcopalians. Otherwise known as “Catholic Lite”.

(Not meant to insult other churches). It’s just meant to show that if you want to be a Catholic, perhaps you might want to hold the church views. Not that Notre Dame, Georgetown, and the rest of the (formerly) Catholic universities hold Catholic views, either.

Makes me wonder why the likes of Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, etc. ( most of who support abortion and partial birth abortion, and even gay marriage ), still want to remain Roman Catholic...

Precisely.

I understand what you’re trying to say, but Episcopalian has long since ceased being Catholic-anything. If you want to stay current, you might substitute Anglican. Your problem would be that some Anglicans are extremely low church and hardly have Communion while others look, sound and smell exactly like High Catholic services of 500 years ago. I guess the average probably falls about Catholic-normative.

Just so you know, I’m an Anglican priest of the High Church variety. We have more in common with Orthodoxy than Rome, so calling us Catholic-lite simply won’t fit. Our key argument with Rome is the primacy of the Pope. We hold that all bishops are co-equal vicars of Christ and need no further intermediary sacramentally. We do have Archbishops, but they are Presidents of Councils, not Chairmen of Curia.

“Liberal,” (Latin “liberalus doofus moralus zilchus”) is a short form of the ancient Roman phrase for “we don’t like any rules.”
