Oldbrowser, I've had it with this attitude. Had it. Missionary my eye....my Catholic relatives dare present themselves for the sacraments in support of these and other worse heretics, and when I upbraid them, they freaking look at me as if I had two heads...Oh but Francis this....Francis that.
Dang it man, the missionary effort not only has not worked, it's given every phony prelate cover to neglect the faithful in the pews. Francis's goal first and foremost should be to teach the faith to Catholics in its entirety, and THEN reach out. He's freaking out there repainting the mailbox while the house is on fire.
We are starving here for support against this obscene heresy of Sodomism, and we get none from this guy who *should* have used this visit to personally upbraid people like Pelosi and Sotomayor for the disgusting behavior.
I miss the last guy. :-/
I'm hoping that it's diplomacy, first you have to get in the door. Then you start to move them in the right direction gradually. If you go in preaching hell fire and damnation, they will just shut down communications.
