Vitriol is defined as, "Cruel and bitter criticism." And no one here engages in that.<br /><br />Either that or anonymous is supportive of the homosexual and or abortion agendas and perceives the Church's teaching as "vitriol."<br /><br />Either way, this person is confused.Ted Loiseaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-44837678462802535052011-01-01T11:44:23.830-08:002011-01-01T11:44:23.830-08:00And while your chewing on that anonymous, you migh...And while your chewing on that anonymous, you might wish to reflect on what Pope John XXIII had to say about the Church's authentic peace, a peace which Pope John XXIII taught: "is not completely untroubled and serene; it is active, not calm and motionless. In short, this is a peace that is ever at war. It wars with every sort of error, including that which falsely wears the face of truth; it struggles against the enticements of vice, against those enemies of the soul, of whatever description, who can weaken, blemish, or destroy our innocence or Catholic faith." (Ad Petri cathedram, AAS 51 (1959) 517, PE, 263.93).<br /><br />You migt also wish to ask yourself these two questions: 1. "If I really find this Blog to be so obnoxious as well as the people who comment here, why do I visit it time and again?"<br /><br />And 2. "If I really have peace myself, why am I visiting this Blog to castigate people I don't even know"?Paul Anthony Melansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455719838570381999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-66877084838211349242011-01-01T11:36:00.055-08:002011-01-01T11:36:00.055-08:00Anonymous, you write, "The reason why I choos...Anonymous, you write, "The reason why I choose to stay anonymous, and why I won't name the blogs I'm referring to, is because I don't want my inbox or their comboxes overflowing with the vitriol that comes from those that follow Paul.

In one sentence you demonize readers of this Blog as "vitriolic" and as being incapable of thinking for themselves, referring to these good Catholics as "followers."<br /><br /><br />If anyone is lacking in charity, it is yourself.

What "good" are you referring to? Millions of abortions? Sodomite "marriage" being promoted across society? An ever-increasing divorce rate? The spread of pornography across our culture? Empty churches and the bland preaching which is largely responsible for it? The loss of the sense of sin? Empty confessionals? Homosexual clergy who abuse children and minors or who otherwise engage in illicit activities? Liturgical wreckovation? rampant crime? Teen suicides? Teen drug use? Terrorism?<br /><br />You need to get your head out of the sand.Stewartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-89745619491269170302011-01-01T09:54:16.816-08:002011-01-01T09:54:16.816-08:00Wow.

The individual IS NOT the basic unit of human existence, as our founders and now all the acolytes of Rand from Beck to Limbaugh would have us believe. It IS the family. That's why every action taken by all the anti-Christs that surround us have focused on the family's destruction.<br /><br />While many of the beliefs and principles of the founders are worthwhile, the truth is that this foundational principle of individualism is so wrong, such a lie, that it corrupts everything built on it.<br /><br />Our country was built around this lie because the evil one knew it would appeal to so many and then cause them to fall.<br /><br />All we can do now is pray and buckle up. It's going to be one hell of a ride.Catawissa Gazetteerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939761313614220536noreply@blogger.com
