'Big Tent' Catholicism by Joan Frawley Desmond 10/02/08 When a Kennedy scion publishes a book about Catholicism in the final stretch of a hotly contested presidential campaign, skeptics might assume the well-publicized literary event is just a political tactic. Read this motley collection of personal testimonials, and the skepticism deepens. Being Catholic Now includes men and women who reject the existence of God, avoid Mass, and embrace abortion and same-sex marriage. "Cafeteria Catholics" are the rule here, not the exception. Since the formation of the Reagan alliance, Democratic leaders have struggled to reconnect with Catholic voters. In the final months... ... Source: www.moreover.com --- 12 days ago

by mairteenpak (Posted 1 hour ago) Does the State endow the Catholic through the screening of the Angelus on TV every evening and through the Angelus programme on radio? This is in effect the institutionalized observance of a religious ritual inflicted on the masses by the National Broadcaster who collects a licence fee from us to add insult to injury. Again RTE reporters report alleged religious occurrences as fact such as the hallucination at Knock, The Resurrection of Christ, etc Lame excuses are offered that it provides a pause for prayer and reflection. Why is it always at 12.00 pm & 6.00pm then if not simply to facilitate Catholics? It is obvious the purpose of section 2 of article 44 was to prohibit the de facto creation of a State Religion. Buneracht Na hÃireann Religion Article 44 1. The State acknowledges that the homage of public worship is due to Almighty God. It shall hold His Name in reverence, and shall respect and honour religion. 2. 1° Freedom of conscience and the free profession and practice of religion are, subject to public order and morality, guaranteed to every citizen. 2° The State guarantees not to endow any religion. 3° The State shall not impose any disabilities or make any discrimination on the ground of religious profession, belief or status. 4° Legislation providing State aid for schools shall not discriminate between schools under the management of different religious denominations, nor be such ...

In trying to find out differences, I came across this website: http://www.ocf.org/OrthodoxPage/reading/ortho_cath.html Is this fair and accurate? I think the Father sets up a strawman and doesn't accurately portray Catholocism. At times, I read that he seems to think we are Mormons. I want to see if anybody else gets that impression or if it's just me and he does represent the Catholic side truly. ... Source: www.catholic.org --- 20 days ago

The Catholic Church, its leadership if not its flock, seeks common ground with Islam. It has been said that the Church sees in Islam a ray of hope for the re-spiritualization of Europe. Priests see empty churches while mosques are bulging with true believers. They see the secular society addicted to pornography, abortion, and sexual promiscuity, while the Islamic society is tightly controlled. They see the French State divided by "laïcité", while Muslim nations do not recognize separation of Church and State. And they admire Islam to the point where they overlook the dark side and delude themselves into believing that the two religions can not only co-exist, but become strengthened through mutual contacts and understanding. Here are excerpts from the comments of Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, published in the Vatican newpaper L'Osservatore Romano , on the reactions of the Muslims who heard the Pope's speech at the Collège des Bernardins on September 12: The Pope spoke of the Holy Scriptures, of the Christian book which certainly is not the Muslim book. I believe however that the representatives of the Muslim community followed it with much interest. I noticed, for example, that they shared openly the urgings of the Pope to seek God. In that respect, their way of thinking does not differ from our own, and can even constitute a point of contact. And I can say that, when the Pope finished his meeting, and conversed with them, exchang ...

Barcelona’s main annual festival, the Festes de La Mercè , kicks into high gear on September 24, the day of the city’s patron saint, the Virgen de la Merced . Because the holiday falls on a Wednesday this year, the celebrations will be spread out over more than one week. In all, some 600 cultural events have been scheduled from September 19 to September 28. But not a single one of them will make any explicit reference to the religious origin of the event. The title “Virgen de la Merced” (Mary of mercy) has its origins in the founding of the Orden de la Merced , a Roman Catholic religious order, in Barcelona in 1218. At the time, the Iberian Peninsula was under Islamic occupation (711-1492) and the so-called mercedarios (knights of mercy) established the new order with the express purpose of liberating Catholic believers who were being held as prisoners by Muslim captors. (The group is believed to have “redeemed” between 60,000 and 80,000 Catholic prisoners.) Fast-forward some eight centuries to September 2008. Multiculturalism has (temporarily) replaced Islam as the dominant religion in Spain. And multiculturalism’s core doctrine of political correctness says it is now forbidden to honor the memory of faithful Roman Catholics who languished under Muslim captivity. Instead, the Islamic community of Barcelona has been officially invited to hold its very own festivities as part of the La Mercè festival for the first time ever. Nits ...
