Occupy the Catholic Church!

This is a very interesting blog post by Scott P. Richert.
He is commenting on a rather silly opinion piece in the National Catholic Reporter by Tom Beaudoin, a Boston College Ph.D. entitled What If “Occupy Wall Street” Could Be Attempted in the Catholic Church?

From Scott’s post:

Here’s a thought: What if massive numbers of Catholics—faithful, disaffected, fallen-away—did indeed Occupy the Catholic Church, not by imposing their own limited agendas on Her, but by truly treating Her as Mater et Magistra (Mother and Teacher)? What if they began attending Mass faithfully every Sunday, availing themselves of the Sacrament of Confession, and letting the Church do Her duty of informing their consciences, rather than subjecting the Church to the criticism of individual consciences that would better be called malformed than informed?

From Scott’s post:

it would be great to get people back in the pews
every parish and every diocese is looking for a way to draw back lapsed Catholics, lets go for it
I wish I could get my confirmation candidates to occupy the Church

You and me both! I saw this and thought, “Oh no, what kind of nigh-heretical left-wing wack-job is having a hissy fit now??” Instead, it was a breath of fresh air!
