    The Bishops and Health Care

    It is now clear to me that this site is no longer a place for liberal minded Catholics, but rather a forum for Pharisee-like religion in which the Catechism is twisted in such a way as to beccome an idolatrous idol that stands as an enemy to the true and living Christ. I bid you all farwell.

    Catholic heroes/role models?

    Hans Küng is awesome! I was first introduced to him in college when we used his On Being A Christian as our textbook for Introduction to Theology.

    Am I?

    Prayer for a Bishop: God bless the bishop and keep him far away from us. But all jesting aside, we are without a bishop here in Denver and have been for almost 6 months now. I'm hoping our next bishop is more progressive than Charles Chaput (although I like a couple of his books...

    Am I?

    There is always room for discussion. While I am pro-life, my priest is pro-choice. While I may disagree with his position, I respect him as a fellow Catholic.

    Am I?

    The phrase "liberal Catholic" can mean many different things to people. The notion of a liberal Catholic emerged in many ways after the French Revolution and was used to designate Catholics who believed in championing the individual liberties of citizens with notions of freedom of education...

    Catholic heroes/role models?

    Romero is definitely a hero of mine, and now after reading Chapter 2 of this book, so is Hugues Felicite Robert de Lamennais. I did not realize how the notion of a "liberal Catholic" did not exist until Lamennais whose work thrived just after the French Revolution. It is fascinating because it...

    Catholic heroes/role models?

    So, as a part of my Lenten discipline, I decided to read the book "Church and Revolution: Catholics in the Struggle for Democracy and Social Justice" by Thomas Bokenkotter. So far, an amazing book. Each chapter is on a different personality, starting with the period of the French Revolution...

    needing a guide to liberal christianity

    A wonderful quote from the Catechism that I just ran across, speaking as it does about the ecumenical relationship between Catholics and other Christians outside of communion with the Catholic Church... 818 "However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are...

    needing a guide to liberal christianity

    I love this post of yours! It really has me thinking of the difference between the use of the word "sin" and the use of the word "sins." Perhaps this is my nerdy linguistic approach to things, but I often feel that using "sins" is not quite as Biblically accurate as saying "sin." We have many...

    What is your main disagreement with the Catholic Church?

    I think you could equally look at the Biblical notion that Christ is in all things and all things are in Christ. I think pretty much since the Enlightenment and the introduction of the scientific worldview, people have struggled with concepts such as sacramentality and mediation. It is...

    What is your main disagreement with the Catholic Church?

    Here is how my great-grandmother always explained prayer and the Saints. She always said that we don't pray "to" saints so much as we pray "through" them. Mediation is an important principle here, and the sacramentality of Catholicism points in the direction of mediation which we often...

    Render Unto Caesar

    What Bible is Santorum Reading? | Crooks and Liars I just wanted to share the link to this really great article. It is a good look at some of the Biblical themes that so often get lost (especially when politicians attempt to use the Good Book).

    Considering going home to Rome.

    As with any group of people, there is a great variety of opinion on how to approach the topic. First of all, you are correct, that a great majority of American Catholics support gay rights at some level, especially if you are speaking specifically of the issue of marriage equality. You...
