\Amazing!  I again find this to be Protestant bashing.  Is there something
\wrong with protestant prayer meetings?  Are they not good people trying
\their best to know God?

Certanily they could be good people. I never said that they weren't.
I do believe, however, that the Catholic Church is inspired by
God, and so all other faiths merely have reflections of the truth.
For people in the Curch to try to be more protestant and less
Catholic is extremely sad. We should cling to what makes the RCC
unique, rather than bowing to the winds of PC.

\This is not what I think Catholicism is, nor should be, all about.  Here is
\somebody trying to be more loving toward women, and he gets criticised for
\it -- and protestants take a shot in the process.

\Amazing.  Can't you see what is happening here?  The church is moving, and
\that change apparently has a lot of you very upset.  I see it as the Holy
\Spirit at work.

I do *not* see these changes (which descend from America, not from Rome) to
be the work of the Holy SPirit. Before the so-called advances of the last
thirty years, the RCC had more members, vocations, and attendance at Mass.
If in fact these changes were inspired, wouldn't you think that the RCC
would be thriving in America?


\You are fighting about words, and words are not what we are going to be

\It's not "see how they never changed the liturgy" but "see how they love
\one another".  The Mass is there to support us, not the other way around.

The Mass is not a "support group." It is a re-enactment of Christ's sacrifice
of his life for our sins. A complete re-enactment, not just a memoriam, with
Jesus' body and blood actually present.

We can't really know what we will be judged on, but I would rather
accept the Tradition and teaching of the RCC than the modified
theology and doctrine taught without approval at places like the Newman
center. In the effort not to offend anyone (to appease the gods of PC)
they have gutted the doctrine of the Church. "There is no original sin,
people have no inclination to evil, there are no absolute standards for
morality, if you have pre-marital sex we 'understand'," etc. ad nauseam.

About protestant "bashing", if someone really believes in the teachings
of the Catholic Church, one *must* think that it is more right
than the various flavors of protestantism. Otherwise, why be Catholic?

By the way, how is the Mars observer doing?    :)
