Everybody in the Chu...Another way to look at it...<br /><br />Everybody in the Church seems to want peace and unity, but only on their terms. Until everybody wants peace and unity more than they want their own way, dialog will continue to equal conflict.<br /><br />We might ask the progressive editors here what they are willing to give up to achieve peace within the Catholic community. From what I've read here and elsewhere, the answer is nothing. <br /><br />Well, that's how traditional Catholics feel too. My way or the highway seems to be the sentiment.<br /><br />Everybody wants total victory, nobody wants to surrender anything, nobody is being convinced of anything, and nothing but self stimulation is being accomplished by the ever growing mountain of talk, talk, talk. <br /><br />Yes, this post too, which is always completely ignored no matter where in Catholic land it's posted. Totally pointless typing.<br /><br />Dialog is the problem, not the solution.<br /><br />We already know what we're supposed to do as Catholics.<br /><br />Love and serve. <br /><br />It's not more talking we need, but more quiet acting.<br /><br />The real scandal in the Church is a billion Catholics endlessly arguing amongst themselves while another billion human beings live on the edge of starvation. <br /><br />Peace will come to the Church when the focus shifts from talking the talk to walking the walk, when the focus shifts from our victim story to somebody else's victim story.<br /><br />The sad fact is that none of us are going to live long enough to see that day come.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Philnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876502085465766394.post-16693724965642993742013-02-22T22:13:01.604-06:002013-02-22T22:13:01.604-06:00OMG, I hope everyone listens to the radio intervie...OMG, I hope everyone listens to the radio interview that Tony Flannery gave Canadian Broadcasting System.
