Opinion: Margaret Carlson, Anti-Catholic Catholic Seizing the Abuse Crisis to Change the Church?

Catholic Online ^ | 4/22/10 | Deacon Keith Fournier

....Margaret Carlson appears to be following Rahm Emanuel's advice to "never let a good crisis go to waste". She used this crisis to attack her own Church. She also set the stage for Joe Scarborough, her Protestant enabler, to again display his ignorance of the Catholic Church. ...

I have used this expression "anti-Catholic Catholics" in the past in reference to those Catholics in public life who take positions at odds with the teaching of the Church and the Natural Law. The most obvious example is those who reject the fundamental Right to Life and endorse the killing of our first neighbors in the womb through voluntary abortion as some kind of "right". Another example is those who reject the truth concerning the structure of a true marriage and the family and society founded upon it. Barnacle and Carlson exhibit another face of the problem. They reject the Catholic teaching on the nature of the Church...

...The Church is not some-thing but "Some-One", the Risen Body of Jesus Christ who continues His redemptive mission THROUGH the Church which He founded. The Head and the Body cannot be separated. ...

....People like Mike Barnacle and Margaret Carlson either do not understand Catholic ecclesiology (the theology of the Church) or they just plain out reject it. In short, they embrace what Joe Scarborough seems to believe. They want to replace the Catholic vision of the Church with a notion which sees it as merely a human organization which they can then restructure as they will. If so, they are anti-Catholic Catholics with an agenda quite different then what they claim. They cannot go unanswered.

Margaret Carlson appears to be following Rahm Emanuel's advice to "never let a good crisis go to waste". Her appearance on 'Morning Joe' was an example of some in the media promoting dissenting Catholics. She tried to use the founder of the Catholic Worker movement to justify her pet peeves with the very Church which Dorothy Day loved. Her goal was to promote her agenda to change the Church.

Pro-Abortion Catholic says it all.

I think this entire recent jihad against the Catholic church was a coordinated effort to force liberal changes on it. The Church came close to scuttling the left’s cherished health care baill over the issue of abortion. The entire left got the message and is trying to destroy the Church so they can remake it in their image. They don’t want it interfering with their future plans.

Given the unending cases of teachers sexually abusing their students I wonder if ole Margaret would care to take on the NEA and demand their leader be arrested and charged with sex crimes.

The Bible warns of these occurrences.

I can’t stand Margaret Carlson - I have a Bloomberg terminal and a column from her regularly appears. I told my rep a few months ago -

Your Bloomberg columnist Margaret Carlson has to be your worst writer by far. I can’t believe you guys actually put out her trash! She is awful.

We all know very well exactly WHO (at the base) is leading the attacks on the Catholic Church. We also know that the gates of his domicile will not prevail.

[DemonDeac]

There are some people who are trying to use the scandal for their own gain but the Church has handled it exceptionally poorly and the fact that some people I don’t like are also against their handling doesn’t make the Church any less complicit or culpable.

It would be more correct to refer to her as a self -hating Catholic. These types are fueled by a burning desire to please their peers who are secular humanistic agnostics. Their protests against Catholic doctrine ignores the salient fact that Protestantism already exists.
