I'm surprised it took 3-yrs to settle out of court.

Major Obama Donor "F--k You Catholics! "

Interesting, she calls herself a spiritual leader.

Homosexuality as a key factor in the sex-abuse scandal

I have read many of these articles and presented similar findings to my professors. They reject any connection between homosexuality and child abuse.

Obama Ad Panders to Catholics, Ignores His Abortion Record

Catholics follow the teachings of the Church. I pray that our bishops become more vocal in publically denouncing those who present themselves as Catholics in favor of proChoice.

Priests for Life voter guide

I have become disheartened with voters who claim to be Christian, but make dishonest excuses for candidates who do not support their values. TY for the post. I'm sharing.

An Open Letter to Cardinal Dolan

I too think the President's word's will be well crafted and the media's coverage biased.

ACLU Compares Catholics to Racists

I'm trying to understand why the HHS mandate supports 100% reimbursement for birth control instead of maintenence for diabetes or heart disease. Even if we are willing to throw morals aside to save tax dollars, focusing on a single aspect of healtcare is a poor financial investment. Providing greater coverage for any particular area of care discriminates against those who require a different …More

Receiving Communion in the Hand

I miss the Communion rail because it gave me an uninterupted moment to reflect and pray. Standing in line as we do, lends to the feeling that I need to hurry up.

Growing Up With Two Moms: The Untold Children’s View

I've saved this article, and will use it as referrence for my college classes. Our textbooks are socially correct, and deny any study that is detrimental to the GLBT political agenda. I will also look for additional articles from this author. TY.

Fr. Pavone opposes Obama appearance at NY Catholic Charities dinner

I'm not sure that Cardinal Dolan invited the President in an effort to put differences aside. Diplomacy does not occur without stategic considerations. I have great respect for Fr. Pavone's opinion. I am curious to see how this plays out.

"Abortionist in Chief" to Speak at Catholic Charities Fundraiser

I trust Cardinal Dolan. Inviting the President to speak doesn't condone his politcal positions. It may provide the President the opportunity to readdress his positions in a more charitable or practical manner.

The Mandate Kicks In

Americans would be far better served if mandates provided for dental care, vision care, or any other specific healthcare. The administrations choice to focus on artificial contraception is clearly not routed in any examination of medical priority. I fear the motive behind the mandate is to limit the influence of the Church in America.

Thanks guys. I think the silliest jokes might be the best ones.

A still very serious problem in the Catholic Church

The Church is still recovering from sex abuse scandals decades ago. If we tolerate homosexuality in leadership, we will not regain the trust of those lost when we failed to act decisively. I love my Church.
