Michael;

As a 'fighter", I am delighted, impressed, and proud, of your first punch. Now, if I may suggest, a follow-up, so to speak. Lead in with "the right of knowledge", then quickly follow-up with the move of imitating the actions of Jesus, and how He defined His Way as only doing what He s...

Why not just go to the pastor, and ask him not to have the NCR placed in the church? Or better yet; have a representative of the Knights of Columbus, Alter Society, or any other parish organization to set an appointment with the pastor or parish team and say no to this "manure"?

In some cultures the bride and groom give presents to their guests; in my family my brother and sisters were "encouraged" by my father to give mom a gift; after all she bore 4 children in 33 months. I, for one would like to see the Church today, reflect and share with all this facet of the Chris...

To paraphrase a "a recent" cultural hero";

"Ask not what your Church can do for the world, but what you can do for our Church in the world today". And hey, doesn't it say somewhere that the Church should be "as yeast to the dough(of the world ...) ?

Peace

Ah, Michael,

I can hear the blare of the trumpets now, and or' yonder I espy the flowing, multi-colored banners of the various clans a' gathering. "Onward Soldiers of Christ....."

Peace, Tom

Hello Michael;

Good, the gauntlet has now been thrown down. I have discovered that the best weapon I can use in confronting these "rebels" is to calmly look at the individual and say quietly, yet firmly "You have separated yourself from the truth that the Church teaches, get out of my way, hypo...

Michael;

In my experience(s) with the Catholic Church structure in the last 30 years or so, I feel that the "coward", whether bishop, cleric, or seminarian is the most potent force, or factor in this pseudo-Anglican movement in our country today.

Michael;

In a manner, I feel that this present situation is healthier for the individual, and in the long run, for the Church in general. The individual who is desireous to become a stronger, better Catholic, seeks out the opportunities to streghten this resolve. This now becomes a goal worthy o...

Michael;

This 'social equivocation', as proclaimed in many schools of Theological Studies during the late '70's and early '80's was described by the term 'following the third way." In short, this was just Vatican ll speak for establishing one's own personal code of sexual morality.

Walk with Jesus and all of His followers Brother,

"the gauntlet has now been thrown down. Count me in!

Michael,

Your call to positive action is outstanding. For me, to embrace these very, specific, concrete steps; I need the strength and nourishment provided by daily Mass and frequent prayer and Scriptural study. Minor "accidentals", such as in what direction the celebrant faces, or the reception...

Michael,

Excellent presentation. I, too, agree, with your sentiment, that Our Good Lord speaks privately to the individual happens to find themselves a 'victim soul'.

But, I believe, and have experienced, that no matter what cross an individual carries; Jesus is with us. Not with a specific ans...

Well said Michael;

Hey, if you need a place for a truely, secular house of prayer, come on out to Circleville, Ks., Pop. 100 strong. And, you won't have to drop one, small dime.

peace frater

Keep 'blocking" away Michael; I've got your back in constant prayer, and reflection.

Oh, as an "old, liberal, hippie", this is how I continue to fight---by supporting you younger guys.
