God Bless Archbishop Chaput! - "If they don't believe what the church teaches, they're not really Catholic"

In an interview with the Associated Press Archbishop Chaput states that "If they don't believe what the church teaches, they're not really Catholic". He says that it's not the place for so-called "cafeteria Catholics" who don't accept all of its teachings.


Archbishop Chaput is spot on!  The Archbishop has also made it crystal clear that those Catholyc politicians who are pro-choice should not receive Holy Communion.  I agree with him. There are too many pro-abortion so-called Catholic politicians who have been allowed by their bishops to cause scandal to the Church publicly.  That has got to stop! Bishops need to start doing their jobs, reign in the lost sheep and if those lost sheep refuse to change their ways and refuse to follow the precepts of the Church then they need to suffer the consequences. 

Athanasius Moment?

I posted this on my other blog earlier this year, but since my husband was impressed at my philosophical idea or ponderings I thought that I would share it here.

Cafeteria Catholics (Liberals!) dissent on basic Church teachings such as those on abortion, contraception, euthanasia, the all-male priesthood, and even the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Liberalism is so rampant in the Church today that it threatens to overwhelm its traditions, much as the Arian heresy threatened the Church in the 4th century. Does the Church need another Athanasius moment?
