Why ...My first thought was, this can't be true. Why isn't this bishop happy to have ANYONE attending mass? Those people are families, singles, men and women just like everybody else, and they want to live their lives as Christians, and Catholic Christians at that, so why can't he let them? Over here,(I'm in Germany) Catholic parishes die everywhere from lack of "sheep". I think most urban priests here would be thrilled to have anyone at all coming to their churches and fill them, let alone integrate the church into their lives. No wonder churches stand empty if the Catholic church can't overcome their outdated ways, rather hurting people than welcoming them in all their variety like Jesus did.Felizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08792310191812763947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021364414249897766.post-77469266742161339962010-10-30T11:52:46.942-07:002010-10-30T11:52:46.942-07:00Christ would be appalled.

My father-in-law is a deacon and refused to attend our wedding because I was previously divorced, and my sister-in-law's partner (who used to be a nun, btw) was not allowed in the home until hey adopted a child together and had her baptized. My friend's sister was denied a Catholic burial because she chose to be cremated, even though she made a large donation to the church shortly before her passing...the list goes on.Elisabeth Staabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12361225919396887310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021364414249897766.post-44089664401746120532010-10-24T18:29:39.146-07:002010-10-24T18:29:39.146-07:00"Love one another as I have loved you"

I was raised in a stritct irish catholic household and over the years I have become so fed up with the church. I hope the clergy realised that the bible was written not for modern man and modern times. But was written for the times is was concieved in. <br /><br />The catholic church needs to wake up as the old saying goes "he who is wothout sin cast the first stone" . My dear bishop you are not without sin when you cast out more of God's children like lambs to the slaughter.Lupa Padmaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11681177662102943989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021364414249897766.post-39140870969202918232010-10-24T17:04:52.533-07:002010-10-24T17:04:52.533-07:00Are you really surprised.

It relies for its authority on<br />1) An apostolic succession that includes the Borgias, the Inquisition, licensed terrorists (even as recently as 20 years ago), kidnapped children and castrated young boys, let alone buggering them right up to the present day;<br />2) The "Donation of Constantine" — a notorious and clumsy medieval forgery;<br />3) A concept of papal infallibility that was only promulgated in the 19th century;<br />4) Threats of hellfire and damnation used to extract every penny from a poor populace; and<br />5) Shaky biblical quotes taken out of context similar to those that supported black slavery.<br />I think that the "outcasts" have a lot to thank Bishop Cantu for and they should encourage their friends and relatives still within the pale to migrate as soon as possible.<br />I'm proud to be "catholic" as an Anglican (Episcopalian) and object to the "so-called Bishop of Rome" hi-jacking that word.<br /><br />We must also appreciate that the Roman Church has basically abandoned the USA for the greener pastures of South America. It is that audience that the hierarchy is addressing, not liberal North America.Cambridge Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07517004462108624561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021364414249897766.post-25235128711117436472010-10-24T07:03:59.137-07:002010-10-24T07:03:59.137-07:00Take the 'a' out of Cantu rearrange the ot...Take the 'a' out of Cantu rearrange the other letters and there the Bishop stands exposed for what he is, a mean spirited, small minded un-Christian c**t!<br /><br />Sorry, Rick, I sincerely apologise for leaving my very rude profanity on your blog,but this kind of thing makes my blood boil, it also makes me want to weep with despair. I personally think Jesus would be deeply disgusted by some of the things done in his name.LBhttp://www.fabianblackromance.comnoreply@blogger.com
