Good news bump! We must be doing a good job to be so hated and despised.

[massmike]

-On Monday, James Carroll in the Boston Globe called the outreach to Anglicans “a cruel assault,” “an insult to loyal Catholic liberals” and “a slap at women and homosexuals.”-

Well,seeing how “good” letting homosexuals become priests worked out.......

We could pray for poor Dawkins, you know. Just a thought. I know someone who hated the Church and had ab adversarial relationship with the Lord just as bad as his—another overeducated scientist—and he too came to acknowledge the Lord by getting a blast of His love. So miracles happen. Other aetheists have admitted their error, and Dawkins might, too.

and the newspapers wonder why they're going broke...

anti-Catholicism...the last “safe” bigotry in America.

I understand their frustration, imagine wanting to control the thoughts and actions of Christians who believe in an all-powerful God. Imagine a supernatural organization on earth with beliefs as unchangable as God and you can understand their feelings of powerlessness. I imagine they feel about as frustrated as Satan, they have some power over those who will follow them but the ultimate power will always be out of their reach.

I for one am glad of these attacks for several reasons;

1) It means we are right on target, they never waste ammo on those that are not doing the job.

2) It keeps the CINO's out. You have to really believe to suffer att he hands of the enemy.

3) Eventually their irrationality will show through and people will recognize them for the wack jobs they really are.

Before the persecution, first comes the demonization.

Let's list the sins against the secular god for which the Church is responsible.

1. AIDS in Africa

2. The Holocaust.

3. The persecution of homosexuals.

4. Attempting to wreck the Anglican Church.

5. Raping children.

6. The degradation of women.

7. Hording stacks of money and art treasures while people starve.

Any others?

So what would you have is do with this organization? And all the people cried with one voice......"crucify it, crucify it....."

If these critics threw islam into the mix their otherwise anti-religious rants might - and I stress, "might" - have some modicum of credibility therein.

But they don't, and won't, perhaps with some concern as to the loss of their own heads when what they seem to want eventually comes to pass.

[sten]

didn’t they just pass something that made any religion bashing a federal or international crime?

this would be a perfect test

It is interesting that the very people who scream about tolerance and inclusiveness are the least tolerant and inclusive of anyone who is not like them. For Dawkins it is not just enough that he doesn't believe in God; he must assail anyone who does; he finds no room in his liberal heart to include and tolerate those who do.

It never amazes me to watch MSNBC's Rachel Maddow bemoan poor late-term abortion doctors as 'victims' of anti abortion activists and never even entertain the though of having any compassion for the murdered late umborn, who are butchered into pieces like stew meat by these "doctors," or that these "doctors" might be nothing short of Mengele type murders.

Show me one religion that hasn't evolved over time, that hasn't changed its mind on some issues. Why assail only the Catholic Chyurch and not all of them? How come there is no stoning of adulterers in Israel? Or slavery? Or polygamy? It's all in the Old Testament. So, should we now mock Judaism for changing its mind on these issues? Oh, the JDL would be out there accusing someone of anti-Semitism and hate-speech.

Rabid feminist halfwits for example have no problems with discriminatory laws such as the Draft Law because in the case of a declared war, only men get drafted. But if it were the other way around they would be screaming their heads off.

They don't mind when young men are charged more for car insurance then young women, but they complain that older women, who use their health benefits more than men, get charged more for medical insurance.

It is the ultimate hypocricy for intolerant liberals and angry feminists to complain about sexism, and intolerance.

I am having a hard time trying to understand why I should care what this type of person thinks...

Dawkins is in his third marriage.

“”MAJOR NEWSPAPERS BLAST CATHOLICISM””

All any of this stuff does is verifies the fact we belong to the one True Church

From the words of the late Blessed Fulton Sheen......

“If I were not a Catholic, and were looking for the true Church in the world today, I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world; in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hated. My reason for doing this would be, that if Christ is in any one of the churches of the world today, He must still be hated as He was when He was on earth in the flesh. If you would find Christ today, then find the Church that does not get along with the world. Look for the Church that is hated by the world as Christ was hated by the world. Look for the Church that is accused of being behind the times, as our Lord was accused of being ignorant and never having learned. Look for the Church which men sneer at as socially inferior, as they sneered at Our Lord because He came from Nazareth. Look for the Church which is accused of having a devil, as Our Lord was accused of being possessed by Beelzebub, the Prince of Devils. Look for the Church which, in seasons of bigotry, men say must be destroyed in the name of God as men crucified Christ and thought they had done a service to God. Look for the Church which the world rejects because it claims it is infallible, as Pilate rejected Christ because He called Himself the Truth. Look for the Church which is rejected by the world as Our Lord was rejected by men. Look for the Church which amid the confusions of conflicting opinions, its members love as they love Christ, and respect its Voice as the very voice of its Founder, and the suspicion will grow, that if the Church is unpopular with the spirit of the world, then it is unworldly, and if it is unworldly it is other worldly. Since it is other-worldly, it is infinitely loved and infinitely hated as was Christ Himself. But only that which is Divine can be infinitely hated and infinitely loved. Therefore the Church is Divine.”
—Fulton Sheen

These people are worthy of nothing more than pity and prayer.

I never understood why these gay rights/pro-abortion/”social justice” CINO’s just don’t be come Episcopalian.
