Many churches now a days claim to be “all inclusive.” From what I have witnessed, that includes gays who kiss on the lips when showing each other a sign of peace, and new-wave types who sponsor extracurricular classes on meditation and spirituality not in conformity with Catholicism. Prior to the election I had conversations with many who were unconcerned about abortion as an issue.
In an effort to reach out to all people, I’m afraid we have attracted a large population of CINOs - Catholics in Name Only.
I would like to see churches, especially my parish, offer more bible study and Catholic teaching instead of our dinner dances and bus trips to the nearest Indian casino. Now don’t get me wrong, I love being able to socialize with other members of my parish, and I plan on attending our church sponsored class on line-dancing, but at least some religious teaching would be nice to emphasize our core beliefs.
