Typical ex-Catholic " I support freedom of religion, and I support freedom from religion. And, at this moment in time, I am also very proud and happy to be an ex-Catholic." -- we have some such sour pusses on FR as well..

Interestingly, most new Catholics who used to be something else rarely say things like: "I am also very proud and happy to be an ex-Baptist."

It wasn't hatred of where they were from but love of where they were going that defined their view of themselves.

Sandy, you were about as Catholic as the Obamadork is Christian. Were you to get mad at the church for bending over to let the Kennedys and their sordid marriages/affairs/etc go without retribution, I’d agree with you.

Were you to get mad at the church for keeping homosexual priests who love to boink boys, I’d agree with you.

But you’ve raise the lib flag (thereby indicating your rather limited intellect).

With all due deference to my upbringing, please shove it up your smelly Obama. Go tweet, enter gobbledegook on facebook, or do some other thing within your capabilities.

I wonder if Sandy feels the same about our country? If she doesn’t like what’s going on, will she become an “EX” American? You don’t fix things by turning your back and walking away.

Being defined by one’s enemies, such as this asshat anti-Christian bigot, makes the Catholic church look pretty good.

This woman does NOT support freedom of religion, as she can’t imagine religion being more than going to Mass.

I’d wager good money that this reprobate never had any faith to begin with.

Dear Sandy,

You’re an ex-Catholic because you do not believe the Catholic Faith to be true. Given that so many people who share your non-belief still claim to be Catholic, I commend you for your honesty.

However, as a non-believer in the Catholic Faith, you really have nothing to say about Catholicism that cannot be summarized as “Blah blah blah,” so why don’t you toddle off and have contraceptive sex and write a fan letter to a Marxist dictator or two.

Sincerely,

Tax-chick

Believe me, the very LAST thing the Church wants to do is take sides in a partisan political battle. They have done so in the course of their history, and it almost never came out well for them.

Their backs are against the wall on this. The courts clearly are giving this a pass. Their only option to maintain freedom is to openly work to defeat Barack Hussein Obama. I am sure this is keeping many of the Bishops up at night and giving them a massive case of heartburn.

But we are out of alternatives, thanks to that self-promoting “great Catholic” John Roberts.

And if I had to guess, Sandy has had at least one abortion, hates men because men are just so damned male as the feminists have so ingrained into the minds of women, smokes pot, plays with her cat while she whines and cries to her lesbian therapist about how there are no good men out there, and basically blames everyone else for her own shortcomings.

You do not believe in the Bill of Rights and you probably have never read them.

Go join the unitarians or scientologists. They love people like you.

Dear Sandy,
Sorry, but you do not erae the Baptismal and Confirmational marks on your soul that indicate you are a Catholic.

You need to sit down with a priest and get your questions answered.

I pray that you do.

That is the same reasoning that makes him a socialist and anti-Constitutional, ex-American.

LOL! We must be making some waves for fish like this to jump out of the water.

Because of politics?? I wonder if the author’s ‘other reasons’ had anything to do with salvation but I doubt it.

Sandy, shouldn't you be out having an abortion or something?

Sandy, if the government can force the largest Christian church in America to violate its conscience, they can do it to any of them, any religious (or irreligious) community even, and one lapsed Catholic in Baltimore is very small potatoes indeed. I’m a Prod and I get that. It’s a bit frightening that you don’t.

...to recently attack nuns in the United States who are at the forefront of what used to be one of the church's primary missions to aid and comfort the poor and needy.

Boy, is this woman ever mixed up. The Catholic Church does not attack those who help the poor and needy. The Church is however, trying to bring those few liberal nuns in leadership roles back into line with Catholic teaching. That is not attacking anyone.

Sandy, you really need to try a little harder to print the truth and not let your hatred speak for you.

I am not a “sour puss”, I keep shouting Heaven has already
revealed it, the Remnant is Roman Catholic.

All the Protestant current prophetic is pointing to the fact, God can’t say it directly yet, you all will say no!

The Protestant prophetic I have posted, the response is
“false prophet.” And these are your own guys/gals? Putting
down your own messengers, do you think God is ignoring
non-Catholic Christians? He is not.

Start reading Catholic writings, a Catholic Bible http://www.drbo.org, the Catechism, lives of the saints to prepare for the Great Tribulation and the new time, the Millennium. #1, I’ll tell you, accept the Holy Eucharist.

Here’s a quote from a former Presbyterian minister, it
shoots one heresy right out of the air. Really, it’s
a major one. Sola Fide messes up every area of the faith.

Revelation 14:13
And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”

“For years, as a Calvinist preacher, I recited this verse in every funeral graveside service. I believed and taught Sola Fide and discounting any place for works in the process of our salvation. But then, after my last funeral service as a minister, a family member of the deceased cornered me. He asked, with a tremble in his voice, “What did you mean that Bill’s deeds follow him?” I don’t remember my response, but this was the first time I became aware of what I had been saying. This began a long study on what the New Testament and then the Early Church Fathers taught about the mysterious but necessary synergistic connection between our faith and our works.”

I want to thank Archbishop William E. Lori for reminding me once again why I'm an ex-Catholic ("Fight for freedom," June 27). With the so-called "Fortnight for Freedom," the church leadership is deliberately and cynically using a mixture of patriotism and religion in a blatant and manipulative attempt to influence the outcome of the upcoming elections.

Where do I sign up?

I can't seem to recall any recent news about Catholic churches being bombed in the United States or attempts to bar American Catholics from attending mass

But that's not what this is about, right?

If you're an ex-Catholic, why do you care? Why are you qualified to discuss the Church?
