People who leave the Church leave her because she is a pre-medieval institution; and people who love the Church love her because she is a pre-medieval institution.

Isn’t God’s Providence wonderful?

I actually agree with this ad 100%. Anyone who doesn't accept what the Catholic Church stands for should find something else to do with their time. There is no place in any organization for disruptive malcontents.

Those were my first thoughts. LOL

Unwittingly the heathens are doing the Church a favor.

I wonder if the New York Times would have been willing to print an ad encouraging people to quit the Muslim faith?

BINGO!

Now, if the ad would have encouraged Mormons to....oh, never mind.

After I finished laughing out loud, I realized that if there was an "on-the-fence" Catholic in the audience, this might just prick their conscience to make a firmer stand on behalf of the Church, perhaps even return to full participation.

God writes straight with crooked lines, and we never know when something like this, intended for evil against the Church, can be turned to something positive and constructive.

The atheists had better watch out. What's the old saying? "Be careful what you wish for..."

The ad asks "Why are you propping up the pillars of a tyrannical and autocratic, woman-hating, sex-perverting, antediluvian Old Boys Club?" This is going to have the exact opposite effect of the one they desire.

I agree with you 100%. It's almost as if that's what Annie Laurie Gaylor wants...only she is truly so arrogant, I think, that she wouldn't IMAGINE anyone disagreeing with her.

And so it goes. As it was, so it will be. Christ was quite clear.

Is there a link to the ad in the NYT? I’m only finding the 2nd hand link to the Creative Minority Report. I want to send it around to some of my friends, but want to make sure I can prove it was in the NYT.

“Woman hating”? Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!! These people need to quit acting like they are speaking for all women! I am a woman, a Catholic woman, and my husband and I (I guess) are living in the Dark Ages because we are not using any contraception. I guess that means our sex is “perverse”? I disagree. REAL love is opposite of perverse because we are open to life.

Catholic Church and House of Israel will be persecuted
Sunday, March 4th, 2012 @ 03:30 pm

Excerpt:
My dearly beloved daughter the time for the opening of the seals which will result in you opening the seventh seal is almost upon you.

Because of your prayers much upheaval is being averted.

You, My followers are accepting My cross and you will unite with the Immaculate Heart of My Mother as you march towards My Glorious Kingdom.

As the falsities and depravities of the world escalate, so too will the faith of those who lead My army.

The churches will be persecuted namely the Catholic Church and the House of Israel.

Many will be pleased. These two religions will be tormented and every effort , both externally and within, will be made to eradicate any trace of either.

There will be great rejoicing around the world when they have fallen.

Many will consider them to be destroyed. People will then ignore their corpses.

It always does. History proves this.

After 13 years of being away, and almost becoming a Pastor in another denomination, I am coming home to the RCC. Thanks to the care and friendship of my Parish Priest, the care and support of my family and the calling of the Holy Spirit. There are many of us (including my girlfriend who is converting) returning home. Praise God!

Welcome Home!

The Gospel tomorrow in the Maronite Catholic Church is that of the Prodigal Son. I will remember you and your family in my prayers.

May our Lord continue to guide and bless you along this journey.
