I was researching a trail of information on an interesting issue…that I won’t go into here because it’s long and complicated…and I found this:

population-security.org/index.html

Scroll down and read the short descriptions of each chapter.

Oh, my!

His bio says he’s a U of KY Ag grad. If he’s from rural KY, he’s 99% likely to have imbibed anti-Catholicism from birth, especially if he grew up a church-goer. (I say this, living as a Catholic in rural KY.)

You know he’s a wild conspiracy theorist when he claims that the US Bishops forced Nixon to resign! :eek:

He assumes that all Catholics walk lock-step with their bishops, which is ridiculous. Catholics were contracepting because the media was telling them during the Council that this issue would be considered separately later, but in the “Spirit” of Vatican II, it would probably be decided to be OK!

The promulgation of HV resulted in immediate, same-day open rebellion by theologians who hadn’t even read the document yet.

The spirit of rebellion was in the air, in a firmly secularist and sexually obsessed culture. The Church was feeling its lack of influence over its own much less the world.

If what he says is true (and it’s not), then I shout hooray! Christ’s Church strikes against the ruling cabal that would like to population-control poor and minority and foreign people into oblivion! Hooray! for standing up against government abusive power over and above the dignity of the human person which pre-exists the state and is superior to it! 👍

I bet that author didn’t expect to make a Catholic girl happy about our supposed wins in the culture war.😃

The following is the relationship we should be having with the bishops:
Code:
“You must follow the bishop as Jesus Christ follows the Father, and the presbytery as you would the Apostles. Reverence the deacons as you would the command of God. Let no one do anything of concern to the Church without the bishop. Let that be considered a valid Eucharist which is celebrated by the bishop, or by one whom he appoints. Wherever the bishop appears, let the people be there, just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.”

—St. Ignatius of Antioch
Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8:1-2, AD 107
But, as you point out, many Catholics are in rebellion against the bishops.
