However, we were told that they had ALL been burned, since they were from the olden days, and therefore not applicable anymore. This priest who said that is now a bishop in a different diocese. Figures, doesn't it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17464356899920702471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-22510394139679792772014-05-12T10:24:25.953-04:002014-05-12T10:24:25.953-04:00I've cheerfully told people that I don't r...I've cheerfully told people that I don't read anything post VatII because most of it is pap for babies.

I have always thought to distinguish Commonweal Catholics -- liberals -- from neo-Catholics, who in my mind have always been the go-along get-along, never think about what you are doing, kneejerkingly obedient types -- and therefore the useful idiots of liberals. But perhaps that has become a distinction without a real difference. <br /><br />After a year of leadership by Francis the Synodocrat and the liberal Kasper, who seems to have his ear as much as anyone, the liberals and the kneejerks are indistinguishable. And one day Stephen Colbert will be on the fast track to canonization. <br /><br />How The Poor will rejoice!

You won't want that!" <br /><br />Having had the exact same experience (Mine said of the CCC, "Oh, that is way to complicated for most of us!," before giving me William Anderson's atrocious "In His Light" ), I think it is telling that many converts end up having the attitude that most nuns are more likely to be fools or lesss-than-useful idiots than faithful sisters. Not good, or right, but symptomatic of the state of play (or conflict).JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06684142528414196410noreply@blogger.com
