And Fulton Sheen has a wonderful quote about how the problem with the modern world isn't that it's intolerant,but that it's too tolerant of sin. So keep fighting the good fight! You never know when some of these misguided souls will have a conversion like William Coulson who helped Carl Rogers destroy the IHM order. Keep fighting the good fight. I blogged on this at lesfemmes-thetruth.blogspot.com after watching Fr. James Martin's dishonest video thanking the nuns. God certainly won't thank somee of Fr.

Can you give me specific examples of scandal, keeping in mind that "giving scandal" doesn't mean "you hurt my feelings"?; 2). Could you sign your comment? Anonymous criticism is largely pointless b/c it often means that the critic has an agenda other than the truth. I sign all my posts. If you prefer, I will not publish your comment.<br /><br />God bless, Fr Philip Neri, OPFr.

There is not one paragraph in your article or in the comments that follow that is not sarcastic, insulting, mean-spirited, judgmental, and at times outright vicious and vitriolic. Why would you, Fr. Powell, write an article that would encourage such scandalous rhetoric? "Te Deum Laudamus?" I don't think so.

I'm not saying that they aren't, but that's the question in dispute. Are the women who run the LCWR actually followers of Christ in the Catholic tradition? Do they claim to be followers of Christ? <br /><br />The evidence suggests that they follow trendy New Age gurus, eco-feminism, leftist political ideology, and various warmed-over heresies from the first few centuries of the Church.<br /><br />The whole of the CDF investigation is to answer the question at hand. They found that the LCWR tends to follow any and every goofy idea that comes along. . .instead of following Christ and his Church. This is a significant problem given that these women have taken vows and run a Church-approved institution. The Church has a right and a duty to ensure that those who represent her publicly do so in way that reflects her identity.Fr.

So why are we brothers and sisters in Christ fighting, some with statements that are quite cruel, and sometimes ignorant of facts. If Christ is among us, can we let go of our condemnations of others as Jesus taught? Can we open ourselves to the Holy Spirit and consider that the "other" person might just have some insight too? This situation breaks my heart. Let us return to the Gospel and look to Jesus.<br /><br />I promise to do this right now and from now on.Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609173450576055443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-90143740107119718152012-04-28T09:19:25.459-05:002012-04-28T09:19:25.459-05:00I thought this would be something that would happe...I thought this would be something that would happen now. What is being reported, not so, or at least they are going on with the show in Aug. <br />"When the Vatican put the largest organization representing U.S. women religious into church receivership, saying it needed to submit to the control of an archbishop and reform its statutes, a major criticism cited was the group’s annual assemblies, which were said to have presented viewpoints that were “a serious source of scandal.”<br /><br />Despite that concern, this year’s assembly of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, planned for August, is to go forward with Vatican acknowledgement, NCR has learned."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-35612408655113752712012-04-27T21:37:32.370-05:002012-04-27T21:37:32.370-05:00Anon., if I had a dime for every Catholic who'...Anon., if I had a dime for every Catholic who's told me about a family member or friend who's left the Church b/c of some goofy sister-nonsense, I'd never have to beg for books again!<br /><br />The Wiccan influence comes from an obsession with Native American spiritualities, or rather, what I call "Epcot Center Native American Spirituality." No substance, all decoration. Bunch of white women throw up a dream catcher and put a big rock near a bowl of water and pretend they're being all tolerant and diverse. It's embarrassing and insulting.Fr.

One such liturgy I observed during a Catholic teacher's retreat involved everyone "bowing to the Crone", the oldest sister. The concept and action were lifted directly from Wicca. The whole thing was so absurd that it was difficult not to giggle. Intellectual and spiritual mediocrity gives rise to this kind of tackiness, along with an underdeveloped sense of the ridiculous and an over-developed sense of self-importance. It's no surprise that these congregations are aging rapidly, since they're totally stuck in the 1970s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-72635321152101929962012-04-27T17:44:54.969-05:002012-04-27T17:44:54.969-05:00You bring to mind one of the many stomach-churning...You bring to mind one of the many stomach-churning happenings at the Catholic girls high school where I teach and from which my daughters graduated. While discussing the ethics of new genetics technology, one of my science students asked my opinion. I told her I didn't know what to think, yet, as I still had to read what Fr. Pacholczyk(sp?)had to say on it from the Catholic Bioethics Center. The response was heart-breaking: "You're going to let someone else do your thinking for you?!?!" "They're just a bunch of old white men!" I did my best to enlighten them on the narrowness of their views, but, sadly, that is what the "sisters" at this school have passed on for the past 30 years. Two of my three daughters lost their Catholic faith because of the direction their theology classes sent them. Just today, one of my students expressed absolute shock that the Catechism of the Catholic CHurch even exists. She had never heard of it!<br />I am so angry about the damage these "sisters" have done that I'm damaging my own soul!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-11520899242490975962012-04-25T16:59:20.203-05:002012-04-25T16:59:20.203-05:00Good work, Friar.Good work, Friar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
