Which book would that be?
The book was unread like so many on my shelf. Thankfully, I never read. It is gone and that is all that matters to me.
Welcome to the forum.
Terms like Right and Left are from the political arena, and not really applicable to the Church. Catholics are orthodox, or not orthodox, in terms of their doctrine, and unity with the current pope and their own bishop.BrandtWall:
Welcome to the forum.
What church do you mean?
I don’t believe I would call it ultra right, but rather traditional Catholicism, though many Catholics live on the right.
I respect your decision not to identify the cardinal.JimmyDFG:

No
That is a mischaracterization of what the pope actually said – as happens so often. He was speaking of people who think that the number of children one has is some proof of being a good Catholic. Specifically, he was talking about a woman who was pregnant with her eighth child, having had 7 C-sections – he was pointing out that humans are not rabbits, but should exercise responsible parenthood. In this case, the woman was risking leaving seven children without a mother.
Oh I see, so he was saying women can’t have more a certain number of children or risk be branded irresponsible. Yes that sounds much better.
Patrick Coffin is a cradle Catholic. He was a “revert” back to the faith from agnosticism. The local Catholic university in Canada that he attended turned him agnostic, not protestant.
Except that she survived seven prior c-sections and likely had talked to her doctor about the risks. Moreover, she isn’t free to use ABC (no one on earth is) and perhaps NFP didn’t work for her and thus she isn’t irresponsible at all, even according to the strained reasoning of His Holiness. Finally, as seems to be typical for him, his apparent animus toward those who practice a more traditional Catholic life bears out in his uncharitable comment. If only she had been an atheist or pagan he might have praised her dedication to life and said gently that she needn’t put herself at so much (presumed by him) risk rather than compare her to an irresponsible rodent.
So to me a protestant Catholic would be one who doesn’t accept the 2000 year old traditions of the Church but rather adheres to modernism.Another fantastic example of a former protestant who is now a protestant-Catholic.

As someone who has listened to Dr. Marshall long before he started “red pilling” hard, he doesn’t have a problem with people who attend the Novus Ordo. Tim Gordon attends the Novus Ordo.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. I still hold on to some of my heretical theology books (the ones that are from influential authors), but I just keep them in a separate section where no one can see them.
Good point, as Catholics all have been waiting for the McCarrick scandal to be addressed and never has.
