Brief Scan of the Modern Church

Fr. Dowd proves that he’s a crank who just doesn’t understand modern civilization. We’re not supposed to get rid of the lice-ridden drunk. We’re supposed to spend hours letting him talk to us, invite him to our dinner tables and let him sleep in our childrens’ bedrooms. If we don’t, people will think we won’t reconcile ourselves, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization.

The Mighty Barrister impermissibly attempts to draw parallels between a bishop’s using the Eucharist as a "weapon" to protect the Church during the fight over integrating Catholic schools and more recent controversies.  Poor Barrister; doesn’t he realize that analogies with the civil rights are only allowed to promote same-sex marriages? Obviously, the man won’t reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization.

Dale Price apparently has some sort of problem with strong, independent women who can think and choose for themselves. Really, Dale, don’t you think you’re a bit over the top comparing a woman who can slice up two of her three children to an SS selection officer? If we keep thinking that way, we won’t reconcile ourselves, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization.

Fr. Rob Johansen has been silly enough to trace society’s openness to same-sex marriage back to society’s embrace of contraception and no-fault divorce laws. Good grief! Is there no end to the intellectual anarchy produced by Catholicism? Guess Fr. Rob hasn’t reconciled himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization.

Well, that’s the Catholic Church for you, all topsy-turvey and misguided ever since the modernists took over.
