Open To What?

I've often wondered about their motto myself. The "open minds" part worried me most. An open mind is like an open trap. It isn't useful unless it closes on something.

This is taking the "I love you. You love me." fuzzy liberal relativist sexual crusade a little too far.

When it’s right-thinking (that’s what orthodox means) Episcopalians fighting heterodox
brethren who seem to think open-minded means empty-headed.

Good Catholics or Poor Historians?

The Church has NEVER supported contraception. A quick glance at early documents, like the Didache, makes that obvious. So how do these idiots figure good Catholics should use condoms? Good Catholics should keep Captain Winky in the pants until marriage.

"We believe in God. We believe that sex is sacred. We believe in caring for each other. We believe in using condoms."

How about this shorter version? "We believe in heresy."

Catholic Group Says Good Catholics Use Condoms

"WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 /U.S. Newswire/ — 'Good Catholics Use Condoms' is the message of a new global public education effort to counter Vatican misinformation on condoms, beginning December 1, 2003, World AIDS Day. The campaign, a new phase in the Condoms4Life campaign, kicks off in Washington, D.C., with provocative and eye-catching ads appearing in dioramas in the most highly traveled Metro stations throughout the United States capital. Then, on a rolling basis, the campaign will move worldwide throughout 2004 with newspaper and billboard ads, Internet action alerts, and educational materials all geared to reach Catholics at risk of HIV/AIDS with the truth about condoms."

Vatican eggs on Anglican split in US
Cardinal praises conference planning break over gay bishop
By Stephen Bates

“The Vatican has publicly endorsed US Episcopalian hardliners gathered in Dallas to plan the breakup of their liberal national church. In a surprise letter from Rome on behalf of Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the Catholic enforcer of doctrinal purity, wrote to the organisers praising their stand. Support has also come from one of Britain’s most respected evangelicals.”

I hope and pray that orthodoxy will prevail in the Catholic Church. We are supposed to be in the world, but not of it. Just because secular society approves of homosexuality, doesn’t mean the Church should. Doctrine isn’t about what makes us feel good or what’s easiest. It’s about following when the Holy Spirit leads and obeying God’s commandments as set forth in scripture.
