Hi Conor - What I find is just how many good and true Catholics - who lovingly and patiently showed me the faith by their very lives - think the same thing that this “Prodigal Son” does. We must not be driven from the Sacrament by the deeply flawed leadership, but I will do nothing more to support their material “stuff”.

As a young man, I was foolish and rebellious so coming to this point for me was fraught with self-doubt. The fact that so many whose lives of faith I respect agree is a great comfort and validation. Thank you.

In my neighborhood I am constantly amazed: the VERY SAME HOMES that had Obama/Biden lawn signs on them just a few weeks ago now have NATIVITY SCENES with Baby Jesus on the lawns!!!

Catholics went for Barack Insane Obama by 57%. If THAT isn’t a sign of terrible terrible deep apostacy and hypocrisy I don’t know what is.

Hi Emmet - I, too, am a prodigal son - My wife brought me back into the Church. That parable never made sense to me until a few years ago when I came to the understanding that salvation, like the sacrifice of Christ - is gratuitous.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!
