Gay Irish could always march, just not under their own banner. They could march under the County banners or whichever civil organization that they marched with. By giving in to black mail from NBC, Guiness and the Mayor, Cardinal Dolan surrendered what was left of the political power of the remnants of the Irish Catholic community. It was a naked show of power and nothing else. The same Cardinal Dolan actively works for amnesty & open borders in order to fill his pews and Church coffers.I realize the last thing the Catholic Church needs is more factionalism but the Churches' pews have been emptying for years for good reasons. It is not that everyone is suddenly too lazy to go on Sunday mornings, but no one wants to go and be asked to aid in their own communities destruction,and being asked to donate. The Cardinals and bishops betrayed the trust of their flocks by covering up pedophilia and paying hush money for decades. On top of all of that they pushed heavily for Obamacare and endorse politicians such as the Cuomos, Kennedys, and Pelosis, who force abortion on this country. This appalling lack of moral leadership is why the Churches are empty.Fatebekindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340488997945408697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-65059958283922208882014-09-22T17:29:40.176-04:002014-09-22T17:29:40.176-04:00If youthink she's acerbic, you should read Bar...If youthink she's acerbic, you should read Barnhardt's thoughts on the good bishop.0007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-4299111186940262722014-09-22T05:30:59.782-04:002014-09-22T05:30:59.782-04:00Which, had Luther or any Lutheran authority figure...Which, had Luther or any Lutheran authority figure said it, would be a black mark against Lutheranism. Do <b><i>you</i></b> like seeing fellow Christians set at one another's throats, "Anonymous?" Would you be pleased about that attitude among Catholics, were we to bray at a schism among <b><i>your</i></b> fellows?<br /><br />Reread the Sermon on the Mount, and spend some time in prayer. Maybe God will make the depth of your <i>Schadenfreude</i> manifest to you -- and what it might cost you.Francis W.

That is not prudent.<br /><br />Throwing rocks at the snakebit was never the deal.<br />Just fixing stuff, and trying not to buy into the consensus that getting bit meant some have it coming.<br /><br />My Lord has the scars to prove it. Mostly hangs out with misfits, and those who trade cheap hope for true Grace.<br /><br />Mostly walks off into the wasted lands, no politics of compression, except the personal.<br /><br />Purity control means getting the hands dirty. Probably not real if that involves the elevated pretending that the dynamic is subject to legal justification.nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10632021240126981592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-75319668469636779072014-09-21T11:11:20.857-04:002014-09-21T11:11:20.857-04:00There's a reason I avoid most "Catholic&q...There's a reason I avoid most "Catholic" blogs.
