Catholic bloggers aim to expose dissenters
Pressure is on to change the Roman Catholic Church in America, but it's not coming from the usual liberal suspects. A new breed of theological conservatives has taken to blogs and YouTube to say the church isn't Catholic enough.

Enraged by dissent that they believe has gone unchecked for decades, and unafraid to say so in the starkest language, these activists are naming names and unsettling the church.

4. I don't know about a website
But, if you plug "Michael Voris" into YouTube, you can meet the Grand Wizard.

3. When times get tough
religions get harder. It seems the most hardscrabble places on earth have the meanest religions. I don't get that. I can't imagine thinking: My life thoroughly sucks. What I really need now are oppressive doctrinaire blowhards policing my thoughts and actions.

5. "Taliban Catholicism."
John Allen, Vatican analyst for the National Catholic Reporter, dubbed this trend "Taliban Catholicism."

Here you go---- Read all about the Good Father Feeney and his Sodomy

http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news2008/01_02/20071231133934034.pdf

I especially Love the part about how Feeney was allowed to have unfettered access to "Alter Boys"

LOL

8. The RCC is not only older than the Taliban, the RCC has been responsible
for much more horror in the world.

The Taliban is a Middle Eastern RCC wannabe.

7. "...the church isn't Catholic enough." Doesn't catholic mean "universal?"
Wouldn't a more "catholic" church be even more open to dissent?

Nutjobs are fun. Conservative ones are even more fun!
