Thank you for that-I suppose the brownies are just something to make those who buy into them feel as though they are doing something “right” by promoting social justice-I don’t think they really believe it, but having confirmation of it by the priest, who won’t call sin what it is relieves their guilt for not personally assisting those in REAL need. I believe social justice is just plain theft, and it deprives those in real need of charitable assistance.
They are just selfish, probably well-off dilettantes CINOs. If something was a sin 30 years ago, unless God appeared to the Pope and told him it no longer was, it is still a sin as far as I’m concerned...
I hate to be so uncharitable, but I’m more appalled each day at most of this disgusting society that punishes the honest and rewards anything else. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I’ll stick to the Catholic way I was taught by church and family as a child. Part of my bad mood is the fact that I’m reading that book, and the similarities just make my blood boil hotter ...
SJ is legitimate, but its become disproportionate.
See the writing about Zacchaeus.
Thats where XS is correct, that it is disproportionate among SOME parishes.
But my point is, thats a management issue. And The Pope a tually mentioned that.
There are 3 churches close to me, one TLM, and 2 Amchurches. All affiliated with the Diocese.
2 conservative., 1, Slap happy.
The reluctance to preach sin isn’t peculiar to Catholics. My bro and SIL are baptist and even the evangelicals are soft pedaling sin.
