The Lady in the Pew has an excellent column on the attitude “it’s all about me” and how it is infecting some Masses.

“The Lady” has hit the nail on the head. We are the Narcissistic Church.
I also noted on the Boston College conference web site this opening line, a standard for the Narcissistic Church:
“The Church in the 21st Century Project explores the issues underlying the clerical sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church by providing a forum and resources to assist the Catholic community in transforming the current situation into an opportunity for renewal.”
Renewal? How about repentance? Oops, I forgot, repentance implies sin, which is sooooo medieval.
The Atheists are infecting every aspect of your reality with the absurd notion (i.e. a meme) that Individuals are not responsible for their actions. You can see it everywhere around you; poisoning the very fabric of your universe.
This attitude is becoming so pervasive that soon it will be common to the point it is overlooked � unperceived � invisible.
The banality of evil.
What remains startling, at the very least, to me, is that back in 1999, the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith permanently banned Sister Gramick from “any pastoral work involving homosexual persons.” And yet, plain as day, she’s identified in 2004 by Boston College — and, no doubt, herself — as “Consultant, Lesbian and Gay Ministry. “
What’s wrong with this picture?
Thanks, Jeff, for the plug.
hmmm… Richard Simmons creating church…well he is catholic and attended seminary for a year or two in the 60’s. Better not give him any ideas, or we may find ourselves at “Massercise” some Sunday. I know some sisters that already have leotards…
Now, there’s a nightmare!! Fr. Richard Simmons. Wonder if he was too pink for the pink crowd!? LOL.
