I remember when the Catholic church excommunicated people for all kinds of stuff... It's gone too far in the other direction of "tolerance". I seriously think you have been infiltrated in some of the top positions. ND is a prime example.

I agree that the Church has gotten too tolerant. The new pope seems to be reversing the trend, albeit slowly. You'll notice, though, that with ND situation, there is a rather large outcry by Catholics, including some high profile bishops, so all is not lost. Don't be fooled into hoping for a collapse of the Catholic Church, though. When the Church goes, its the end for everyone.

Trust me...no one is hoping for a collapse of any church here. We need all the help we can get. I'm just saying a different approach is in order. Why don't some people write to the Pope and have the word Catholic removed from ND and start a new Catholic University?

Radical? Yes, but I beleive something radical is called for.

I hope you don’t count me among those hoping for such a collapse. I don’t. Papering over certain things doesn’t lead to strength, though. It makes any church that does so a party to that particular sin, imho.
