Those who like diluted masses and confused doctrine will be the most difficult to convince that something is wrong. They might even accept the Perverts Synod because they are 'modern'.<br />But maybe when the rope gets close to the neck..<br />Like for instance with the 'education' that children are forced to receive in public schools. I noticed that there appear to be some new private Catholic schools now which might take care of the problem in the short run, but I expect it will be challenged. I am willing to bet that what the Empire of Sods would like most is to corrupt the innocent Catholic children - they are the desired ultimate sacrifice for the Moloch. And all the other children, naturally, since they are working hard to decriminalize paedophilia, like that horrendous book of the horrendous Judith Levine suggested.FLOR solitarianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-76383692434372060652015-08-22T19:19:13.283-05:002015-08-22T19:19:13.283-05:00You didn't sound rude at all, Damask Rose.

I think deep down people know you're right, they just don't want it. It's very difficult to penetrate. I criticised an aspect of my kid's First Holy Communion and I became the 'Wicked Witch of the West'. It's this whole lay-leading thing. The Catholics no longer evangelise outside their homes in their daily life, they only seem to do this in the parish through the lay-leading and God forbid if you challenge that. I totally 100% agree with what you've written but, the points you hit upon would, well, make these people redundant in the parish. They can't have that.<br /><br />See, what you've described in your post is what you, me and my husband (and no doubt, others too) are practicing in a kind of parallel Catholic universe. These people don't seem to understand the Catholicism that underpins how we are practicing our faith.<br /><br />"If we approach them with humility and respect and a firm purpose..."<br /><br />I can't do it. I've got a low tolerance of it. I get stressed, my voice starts rising and then I blurt something out...<br /><br />"As for myself I wouldn't necessarily burn any bridges..."<br /><br />I probably have....<br /><br />I say what I think which isn't necessarily helpful to the cause in the long run. I'm not subtle, I just come out with it.<br /><br />I didn't mean to sound rude. I'm sorry.<br />Damask Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903564104733536123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-20277586900208424552015-08-21T19:38:26.758-05:002015-08-21T19:38:26.758-05:00Dear Damask Rose:
