Some Catholic bloggers are calling out other Catholics on their actions (or should I say faith)

[Denise1957]

Is this the gospel according to Denise?

No, I don’t think so, at least I hope not.

Maybe this will help. Its from a recent posting from the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer (formerly Transalpine Redemptorists) website, concerning charity on the internet:

“Whatever happened to charity in our speech? “Learn of me, because I am meek and humble” says our Lord. [St. MT Xl:19].
Do we really think there are no consequesnces to what we say on the internet? But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgement [St.MT Xll:36]. Do we really think that we are really helping anyone or converting souls by the use of bitter sarcasm and malicious words that are designed to wound rather than to edify? Charge them before the Lord to avoid disputing about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers [2Tim:11:14]. Are we really proud of our words? Rejoicing that we have “won” the argument? He is proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and strifes from words; from which arrives envies, contentions, blasphemies, evil suspisions [1Tim:Vl:4]. But shun the profane and vain babblings: for they grow much toward ungodliness. And their speech speaketh like a canker [2Tim: ll:16,17].”

There’s more to this posting on the Redemptorist site, and I can provide a link, if needed.

These are the top 200 most subscribed with Google Reader. Not completely scientific, I’m sure but probably a good survey of what’s out there and what’s popular. Of course, the inimitable Fr Z takes 1st place.

While I would agree that some of CMatts views are not what the Church teaches…such as about abortion. However, what he has listed in the post that you quoted are not protestant. Otherwise most of the Catholics who attend the NO…are protestant views. CITH, in English, and towards the people is not against current Church teaching. You may not like them but they are within current Church teaching. Now people are free to debate them…but to say someone who takes CITH and attends the NO has a protestant view is wrong…and proves my very point about the bloggers. It’s hard to undo the damage. Much like some of the priest that have been falsly accused of abuse. Even though its proven they did nothing…by that time it’s too late…the damage has been done.

But I am going to assume that you were talking about CMatt’s view on concrete church teaching like abortion and failed to mention it.

I see nothing wrong with those who advocate for all things noble, true, and reverent in the Church. i am talking about all of it and not just few things here and there. some people are just trying to mix the unholy with what is holy. it wont work. i remember what Jesus said, my mother and my brothers are those who hear and do what the Word of God says. I dont think Jesus meant for us to follow few things only. the danger of those who dont believe what all that the Church is saying in Truth as that those can lead others into the abyss also. Jesus also spoke of those who do not enter Heaven and do not let others enter either. I think the biggest problem with us today is that we dont seem to take the Word of God seriously enough. we have become very wise and knowlegeable that we dont believe in submission to noone specially someone we cannot see.

I think that the holy father sees what we dont see. he says that the Church will be small, she will start again as a mustard seed. i think he knows what he is talking about. we have to read in between the lines and pay attention to what the holy father is saying. Not everything has to be openly said to be understood.

There is a great concern among those who truly understand the Faith. they intend to protect it so lies within the Church stop spreading more and more causing scandals to the Church. this obligation is to our Lord and not to individuals.
I think we have forgotten the Spiritual battle within the Faith. what are the battles? one may ask.

So are you saying the NO…CITH…and English Mass are unholy? Because that is what it sounds like. Those were the things that CMatt25 was talking about on this forumn.
