On the attacks on the Catholic Church

[nadinbrzezinski]

211. And it is those same progressive members of the laity that are demanding change

I guess you'd prefer it if every liberal member of the laity, and the hierarchy left.

Yup, that will make the church that much more responsive.

Mind you, a schism might happen, but not for the reasons you think.

While we are at it, we should also see every social service the church runs closed down (which incidentally some of the most radical right members of the hierarchy would love to do).

I love cartoon images of extremely large organizations with internal conflicts that are...to say the least, Byzantine.

But hey...if all you see is hate (and there is plenty of that) I can't help ya.

Myself I prefer the route of tolerance and understanding and wish that the liberal members of the laity and the hierarchy start to actually make headway. But that is just me. At the very least...don't complaint if anybody makes bigoted statements of something you are deeply attached to.

Don't worry, somebody does. I will stand against it as well. It's a principle I live by.

Oh and dear I am Jewish, before you tell me to go to church or anything like that.
