You gonna let your mother link to a website that says John Paul II is an illegitimate Pope?

Tell your OCIA class that there is some nasty stuff linked to that website (Jewish Tribal Review

My mom is a big girl, and can think for herself. She is not easily swayed by anything, especially "man made" rules or thoughts.

I also think that the adults in our OCIA can decipher for themselves. This will give them opportunities to ask questions and see a larger picture.

There are some very good things on this site...I'm not "throwing the baby out with the bathwater," so to speak.

Thanks for your concern though. I'm not crazy about the anti semite stuff either, from what you say...however I haven't gotten that far on the link yet to render an objective opinion about what that site says.

I'll let them know about that part too.

That would not be as flagrant as a diocesan bookstore selling books by Hans Kung, Joan Chittester, Elizabeth Schlusser-Fiorenza, and other dissendents not to mention non-Catholics such as Martin Luther King and Bishop Desmond Tutu.

The poor unsuspecting Catholics that go to the bookstore will assume that these books will be "approved" so to speak. While the website may be in gross error, it is not operating under diocesan auspices and thus, let the user beware.
