Good will to all men? Not from the grumpy atheists! (Thank God not all atheists are grumpy but there sure seems to be a lot of them)
Why is it that so many in the atheist community cannot bring themselves to get past their anger whenever they engage in discussions? The language of many of their contributions in public debate is laced with invective and dripping with sarcasm and bile. There are exceptions of course, but they tend to fall more into the category of being the 'exception that proves the rule' when compared to the hostility of many of today's atheist posters. Comment offered by the theists in the public square is often depicted as being 'malicious' or 'venomous' and intended to enslave the 'feeble minded and weak' by those who post. Nothing could be further from the truth. Venom is something that is oriented to death. Christians are oriented in a 180 degree different direction. We speak not to the culture of death that grips our world but rather for the culture of life and light which ends with the gift of eternal life. For example, the Catholic Church in its hum...
The News about this matter has been around for many months. The actual move towards legislation is more than 2 days old.

In our diocese it was sent to all the parishes to be distributed this weekend at the behest of our bishop (+Mulhall).

This is even worse than I thought they would do.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of cowards! They issue a statement through a different organization, which very few people even know about.
Outside of themselves, how many News organizations, etc. Even know about COLF, and that they are now the mouthpiece for the cowardly CCCB ?
An old saying applies here very well: When you lead from behind you will only smell the droppings of the horses !
This really is a disgrace. What could be expected of the cowardly AB Smith, and MSGR Pat Powers, except this bunch of crap.
Thank Gog it will be they who answer to God for doing nothing.
The Catholic Church, by these forms of devolution, and hands-off approaches, is disgusting.
But, what else should we expect from a bunch on nobody-Bishops.
