Last June Bishop Gabino Zavala, the head of the U.S. bishops’ conference communications committee, said that there is “consistent agreement” between bishops that the orthodox Catholic blogs and websites are “most alarming.”
“We are particularly concerned about blogs that engage in attacks and hurtful, judgmental language. We are very troubled by blogs and other elements of media that assume the role of Magisterium and judge others in the Church. Such actions shatter the communion of the Church that we hold so precious.”
Mmmhmmm. Wonder what communion he's talking about? The kind that they give indiscriminately to pro-abortion politicians?
And how about that hurtful language! This sort of language? "You brood of vipers" "You den of thieves," "You hypocrites!" "You whitewashed sepulchres." I think that guy from the Gospels said all those things.
Or maybe he means language like "Taliban Catholic"... My bad--it was a liberal who made up that one.
The church is in trouble because there hasn't been enough strong language used in the past 40 years. They made out like everything was groovy, but it's not.
Like that guy said, "Do not think that I came to bring peace..." (Matthew 10:14)
