It’s an independent source that isn’t official affiliated with The Church.
The sources weren’t faithful to Church teaching which she repeatedly mentioned.
There is no bullying or false witness. Rather, some people who claimed to be Catholic, and don’t follow official Church teaching.
…because they taught against Church teaching, and didn’t want the faithful lead astray…,that’s why they were told to stop using the name “Catholic” in their title. That’s all.
She didn’t. She’s only defending her faith on a thread that has comments on her faith that is being constantly attacked from people that are (mostly) non-Christian.
We’re in total agreement, here.
We disagree, on a debate board!?
It is a false witness to claim Catholic and represent as such while pushing out a false narrative. NCR has done it on the regular. Thats why the Church asked they remove ‘Catholic’ from the publication.
Nobody is attacking her or her faith. They’re pointing out what they’ve seen and experienced with Catholicism, and how her behavior and comments reinforce what we’ve been saying. She doesn’t like it, but we need to stop acting like being told something you don’t like is an attack.
Do they claim to speak for the church? Do they put "endorsed by the Pope" in their masthead?
I know what the "problem" is, I just think it is nuts.
They write about Catholic issues to undermine Catholic teaching which has been proven over and over again. They use the word Catholic to do so. That’s why they were asked not to use the title. As it gives a false impression of what the Church teaches and believes. But I have said this throughout the thread repeatedly. It would be like a divorced person deciding to keep their ex-spouse’s name to sow untruths and confusion while acting as someone qualified to speak for the family after the family has asked them to cease from doing so. But I’ve made myself clear. If people want to be obtuse then there is nothing more I can do about it.
Uhuh, sure.
If it is so obviously against the teachings of your church, why would it matter at all what word is in the title.
I know. You think the church is special and so do they. I don't. It's just a church.
I posted here because the op in no way reflects Church teaching. Neither does the magazine it was published in. Not so sure why it should concern you because you obviously do not care. I do. I do not want people thinking that’s a legitimate source representing what the Church teaches and believes. Pretty simple.Uhuh, sure.
