You are either faithful or heretical. Choose which suffering and which reward you will receive. - Traffic Tue, 03 Jul 2012 14:15:37 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2012/wearing-red.html#comment-12220 I get so tired of hearing people whine about the Council, "liberals" in the Church, and people being accused of not being so called "Catholics faithful to the Magisterium". This is an excellent article. Just like St. Oliver, we should be seeking reconciliation with one another and quit pointing fingers at one another. Everyone - all "sides" need to quit thinking that I'm right and you're wrong and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us. - mlw Tue, 03 Jul 2012 00:27:06 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2012/wearing-red.html#comment-12217 NO! Overwrought fortnighting! The US bishops are looking more and more like a bunch of dramaqueens to me. If you guys need drama in your lives, get cable. - JimD Mon, 02 Jul 2012 19:18:45 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2012/wearing-red.html#comment-12214 I think it was more than just a few weeks ago that Cardinal George made that remark about his successor's successor dying as a martyr in the public square. The quote is at least a year or two old. At any rate, when I was enduring RCIA in a liberal parish 7 years ago, one of the RCIA presenters commented that he didn't think we'd have to worry about violent persecution against Catholics in the USA. I remember thinking, "Can we assume that? Who gave us a free ticket from persecution?" Well, it looks a lot more likely now doesn't it? - Randall Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:27:14 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2012/wearing-red.html#comment-12212 Thank you for a well written and well researched article, Brad. I have often regretted that the Second Vatican Council did not occur in, say, 1450, when so much suffering could have been obviated. We could merely trot out Religious Freedom, hold a few meetings in Assisi, tell everyone that "God loves you just the way you are", and everything would have been smoothed right over. Cdl Dolan admits that sexual morality has not been taught for 44 years, annulments have just about destroyed any Catholic (permanent) sense of marriage, so why would anyone feel any need to die for anything? Love would find a way, as they say. - Manfred Mon, 02 Jul 2012 06:02:57 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2012/wearing-red.html#comment-12211 If martyrdom, or unprecedented harrassment, of Catholics faithful to the Magisterium comes to America, to a what extent will it be joined by cultural Catholics - including clergy, religious, and those who currently run most Catholic insitutions - just as most of the clergy and laity found it all too easy to side with Henry VIII instead of Fisher and More? - Jon S.
