Catholic obsession with good deeds is one of our differences and has led at times to progressive quasi Catholics I see and hear
In my life of almost 60 year old southerner who lived in New Yawk 8 years and Latino Catholic nations
I found Catholics more socially moderate to liberal than my own peers and more likely to leave or ignore their faith
Personally I think Catholics have been watered down
This is something I noticed all my life
My mom who was half Catholic at birth always explained they have confessional.....we don’t
In any event .....the most conservative devout Catholics I’ve ever known have been here on free republic
Not in my real world experience
My upbringing religious creed was more about obedience than good works once one had accepted Christ as his savior
Non of this Jewish style leave the world in a better place that some Catholics adopted I guess who knows when
We were taught Christian charity like Samaritans purse but were taught a life for Christ was more about the hereafter and like I said....in laymans terms .....obedience
Not near the focus on good deeds
Yet another striking divergence....for what it’s worth
I applaud muscular Catholicism....,they kept Islam at bay and preserved traditions and knowledge and history....hat tip for that
"Who else WAS there?" as they are wont to say over and over again.
They'd best be putting on their big boy pants once again; instead of going around sniffing the Koran.
(Did that last statement please those that say we was NOT kissing it?)
