If the shoe fits ..... Until then, we Catholics will continue to pray for our “on the cusp” brothers and sisters.
Anyone else find it ironic that they use the Biblically-based word antideluvian?
MEanwhile PAnetta is saying the UN mandate overseas the US congress approval for war... against the USA, I suppose.
America is clueless under Obama, battling these provocation and emotional activities for women, while we are about to be invaded or attacked. They say Obama is smart, it means that liberals have given up paying attention to what Zero is doing and they are going to play stupid from here on out.
But so be it, let the liberals quit the CAtholic church and join their moslem friends where they will have no choice between nun or bikini, but only a hijab and forced to have no opportunity but be some sex or reproduction slave of Islam. Islam loves the pill for dhimmi women.
Gee, for a moment, I thought that description was about the Kennedys and Bill Bubba Clinton.
The Democrat Party and the MSM are viciously anti-Catholic and anti-Christian. There is an ugly and brutal struggle ahead. The people Democrats characterize as clinging to their guns and their religion are the going to be destroyed if they refuse to defend themselves.
Why do you think all sincere Christians are vilified by the MSM?
Do they seriously think people care more about politics than God? Not endorsing any particular denomination, but to someone who belongs to denomination X, they do so because they think denomination X best represents their proper role to God. It isn’t trivial to them, they don’t do it for the same reason they would wear a certain color or fashion or trend.
I wonder if the New York Times would have been willing to print an ad encouraging people to quit the Muslim faith?
Liberals use the same argument for killing the unborn. The Democrat party song is "Short people got no reason to live."
"So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth."
Revelation 3:16
Non of this is truly free because it is not sustainable lifestyle, period. THis is why they are revolting and asking the government to dictate the atheist terms in the end. Atheists I know are confused and, aside from the morale giving soundbites from the Nazi media MSM sergeants, they are truly hungry for God.
As a “protestant” evangelical I view this affair from a different angle... I do not want to see anybody stop either believing in Christ (if it is possible to truly stop) or to stop living a godly life. This ad is simply crass — no serious biblical evangelical, no matter the philosophical differences with the Roman Catholic church, would give it the time of day. Not even Martin Luther would have wanted this with its negatively focused approach and advocating for nothing positive but only a miasma of liberal social gospel.
To make what I think is a fair observation, however, the Roman Catholic church invited a lot of this kind of internal agitation when it acquiesced in the way high profile schools using its name thumbed their nose at some of its most fundamental teachings. Oh sure it said that was wicked and wrong, but never yanked the schools’ permission to claim being part of the Roman Catholic big tent. If a church claims to represent the name of Jesus Christ it has some awesome responsibilities to live up to.
The left continues its rather naked assault on Christianity.
This, piled on to their other usual assault on freedom in general.
The requirement that everyone, catholics included, provide contraception in their insurance plan is obviously is an assault on catholic institutions that don’t want to do that, as well as removing from insurers their right to establish their own business plan.
Why not require insurers to provide free groceries? Is the church against eating?

Why are you propping up the pillars of a tyrannical and autocratic, woman-hating, sex-perverting, antediluvian Old Boys Club?
Well . . . if you really want to know . . . it's because we think that good is better than evil, and with God's help we try to follow what He wills.
AS I PASS through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.
We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “Stick to the Devil you know.”
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “If you don’t work you die.”
Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
The premise is correct. Everyone at one time or another must choose which Master they will serve. The Lord himself said no one can serve two masters. Those who put out this ad and those who choose to follow them will choose to serve a Master other than the Lord. As long as they understand they are rejecting God then they are free to make that choice, God allows them that freedom. But they will also have to understand the consequences of that choice. As for me and my house, I choose to serve the one true Master and Lord.
Anyone who doesn't accept what the Catholic Church stands for should find something else to do with their time. There is no place in any organization for disruptive malcontents.
If I was a Boy Scout and I hated the outdoors, nobody would think twice about telling me that I'd be better off doing something else.
