Whoe...Great post.<br /><br />I hate the term "pro abortion". <br />Whoever heard of such a phrase?

It isn't going to come from with in, but it might just come from without when pewsitters get sick of the self appointed media "Catholic voices" and we all say ENOUGH ALREADY!<br /><br />anonymous, as to your first question, the answer is projection projection projection. Or as I like to say reverse truth.<br /><br />I like your analogy of being 'read out of the temple'. That does seem to be the general attitude of the right. It's their temple and they can read us all out of it.<br /><br />Butterfly, I cracked up, he does look like one of he lollipop boys.

The more and more desperate things become for these conservatives the more straws they try to grasp at. That's so obvious in the case of Judge Sotomayor, a woman who is so blatantly OVERqualified for the position in which she was nominated that it makes it even more humerous to watch their pitiful attemtps at "discovering the truth." <br /><br />I hope all of this in the long run contributes to a more inclusive, emphatetic, progressive definiation of Catholicism universally. Although it is naive to think so these events could be the indirect beginnings of a revoultion within the Church, even though they haven't been initiated from inside her walls.Phillip Clarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-11911716729337788682009-05-28T14:48:59.409-06:002009-05-28T14:48:59.409-06:00Realizing I am asking the impossible.......
1. Co...Realizing I am asking the impossible.......<br /><br />1. Could someone please explain to me how an "uneducated, reverse racist Latina"(a bold faced lie if there ever was!)is in any way worse then her overfed, mentally & spiritually lazy (and ignorant) white male counterparts?<br /><br />2. How one who is not a rabid supporter & enabler of the "Pro-Life" machinery is somehow transmutated into a "radical"?<br /><br />Personally I find the ND controvery to be the 'cartoon trailer' to this, the 'feature attraction', in cinema terms O.o<br /><br />This is far worse - were that possible. The dynamics of the political agenda of the Catholic Right is painfully obvious: "if you are not one of us, it's "Open Season" on you". <br /><br />Rather like the Catholic equivalent of being 'read out of the temple' if you are not (Orthodox) Jewish enough! Increasingly, this is the way it seems. <br /><br />As it is, in most US parishes, they are controlled by laity who are members of some 'group' (Opus Dei, Neo-Cat, Miles Christi, LC, LS/MFT or whatever...lol). The virtually brainwashed members of these cults. The average person in the pews is a nominal Theist who is ultimately clueless as to why he/she is still going there........both elements will mindlessly parrot back what the Catholic talking heads say.<br /><br />From my experience, the only ppl in a Catholic church who have verbalized to me anything approaching a real belief in God is the homeless bum sleeping in the back pew! And he is considered 'crazy' & is shooed out of the church by the 'decent folks' above - who if they really believed in Christ, would be caring for him! <br /><br />"...it's a mad house!
