The Cardinal is saying that people can live in an illicit homosexual lifestyle, defy Church teaching, and that their children can still attend Catholic schools.<br /><br />Honestly, if this is what passes as Catholicism in Boston, God help that confused and troubled Archdiocese. Because it lacks a true shepherd.Wendynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-42412421363915823542010-05-22T05:24:32.149-07:002010-05-22T05:24:32.149-07:00Cardinal O'Malley says, "We need to prese...Cardinal O'Malley says, "We need to present the Church’s teachings courageously and yet in a way that is compassionate and persuasive." And yet, he hasn't spoken one word against the illicit homosexual relationship at the enter of this controversy. Just as he said nothing about Senator Kennedy's promotion of the culture of death during his televised funeral Mass.<br /><br />Where is the courage? I see only a troubled "shepherd" who continues to capitulate to the forces of child-killing and militant sodomy.Dereknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-89455760080335587272010-05-22T02:16:43.674-07:002010-05-22T02:16:43.674-07:00This isn't the first time Cardinal O'Malle...This isn't the first time Cardinal O'Malley has advanced false compassion. Remember the public funeral for Senator Edward Kennedy? Not only did he advance a false compassion, the Cardinal issued an ad hominem attack against those who stand with the Magisterium against abortion, homosexuality and same-sex "marriage." Read this article from Les Femmes:<br /><br /><br />http://lesfemmes-thetruth.blogspot.com/2009/09/open-letter-to-cardinal-sean-omalley.html<br /><br />Note how a Catholic woman named Jane attempted - along with others - to leave a omment at the Cardinal's blog but these comments were censored. Likewise, the Cardinal won't publish a comment including a link to your blog post dealing with the subject of false compassion. I guess the Cardinal's notion of "tolerance" doesn't include tolerance for Catholics who adhere to Magisterial truth.Ellen Wironkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037753678014941848noreply@blogger.com
