Sickening, please don’t do that again.

He doesn’t qualify.

But will her resign from Islam?

I think not.

We should give up Catholicism en masse, if only for a time...

Could this be the dumb@ss that came up with the "boycott gas stations for a day" idea?

Sounds like this “professor” resigned from the faith a long time ago.

He quotes Flannery O’Connor for support? I’m thinking that if she were not rolling in her grave, she would slap him upside the head.

She would ABSOLUTELY slap him upside the head.

"Everywhere I go, I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them."
- Flannery O'Connor

Catholic you aren’t.

Stay away from the pews? It isn’t the priest one meets on Sunday.

It is Christ in the Eucharist.

I must give this professor a scintilla of doubt for charity, but anyone who thinks this way does not believe in the Real Presence.

The new pope could do worse than suppress the order, which has lost its charisma.

The Church will be standing long after all of us.

Anyone remember Joe “How-many-divisions-does-the-pope-have?” Stalin?

I’d love it if all those who truly no longer believe in what the Church teaches would leave. If they want to be part of a religious experience that accepts all the things they now believe in, they can join the Episcopal Church. It has some of the trappings of the Catholic Church without all those inconvenient rules.

Let’s begin with the professor and send him packing.

Not going to happen.
I have a deep and permanent emotional connection to Georgetown. Albeit, as far back as 1993 I saw unsettling trends at the university, where the perverts had gained a foothold at the Jesuit Institution, and gained a certain frightening legitimacy.

This story just disappointingly suggests that things have deteriorated further.

"...he says that Catholics should boycott Mass (a mortal sin) as a way to instigate change, namely selecting a Pope that would introduce radical change."

Here's a prayer to offer up for this guy, and anyone else he manages to "Counsel" or "Provoke" into following his lead:

PRAYER FOR THE CONVERSION OF SINNERS

Lord Jesus Christ, most merciful Saviour of the world, we humbly beseech You, by Your most Sacred Heart, that all the sheep who stray out of Your fold may one day be converted to You, the Shepherd and Bishop of their souls, who lives and reigns with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
