oooohhh…hmmm I don’t pay much attention to these people…it is what they want, actually. Attention at all costs.
Whatevergirl, I am not pointing my comment at you, I am simply using your post to make a point, so please don’t take offense to what I am going to say. There are many posts that are simillar I just happened to borrow yours.
My concern here is that too many of us good Catholics are sitting around doing nothing while the rest of the world is bashing our faith. FWIW, I don’t watch The View either, but I do watch the news so I know about the commnets made by Joy Behar. I worry about the people who do watch this show. Do they have young children who also watch? Do these sort of comments have an effect on Catholics who have strayed from the church? And for that matter, are they appropriate at all?
For those of you who dismiss this as a simple comedy bit, or as something that doesn’t warrant any attention, I am somewhat alarmed. I am concerned when so many Catholics are willing to just let things like this go. How far do we allow this to go? Are we not called to defend our faith? As a member of the Knights of Columbus, I know that I am called to defend the church.
Now don’t get me wrong. I am not surprised by these comments, but they do bother me. They should bother evrery Catholic on the face of the earth. Yes, we should all be sending e-mails to this show and making are complaints. Yes, we should all be standing up and defending our church.
Someone once told me that in order to live a full life, a person must become aware of being unaware. In other words, wake up and look around. Turning the other cheek is not always the correct answer. We can not allow ourselves to fall into this trap of being de-sensitized like the rest of the world. Does anyone ever wonder why pornography and teen sex is so acceptable to the secular world now? It’s the “Oh well it doesn’t bother me, so I don’t care.” attitude. We as Catholics can and should do better.
I’ll get off my soapbox now, but please consider sending an e-mail to The View and sharing your comments with them.
disclaimer If I seem a bit riled up, it’s a combination of the coffee and the conservitive talk radio I’ve been listening to lately!

Elisabeth scared Barely Man-Enough away with her conservative, Christian talk! 
Guess it just goes to show that saying is true: very few people actually hate the Catholic Church, but millions hate what they mistakenly believe to be the Catholic Church.
It’s a real shame because it could be a great show, with a mixture of personalities and commentary. But, it ended up turning into a Bush bashing, Christian bashing lecture by women who look frankly, quite angry about life. The biting, and cutting remarks, and this was before Rosie came there.
