When I wrote about the Cafeteria…
I did not want to expose Gerald to this.
(Actually, I’m pretty sure it isn’t my fault - but anyway…) When he returned from Europe, he was surprised by all the negative email as regards his personal positions on gay people. As a result, he is thinking of deleting his blog. NO, no, no Amy Winehouse! You keep going.
In a couple of previous posts here, I pointed out the incongruity of Gerald’s “evolved” thought on gay people in order to demonstrate how easily our emotions, our friendships, even our marriages can affect our thinking. In other words, how the gay agenda has infiltrated Catholic thought.
We are all so immersed in the world that we easily become affected (infected) by worldly thought - which leads to compromise and permissiveness - even in the best of us. This in no way implies Gerald is a bad Catholic - all of us can veer off track. To demonize him is totally wrong. If he holds views in opposition to Church teaching, then let him be admonished, but certainly not tarred and feathered. People - we have bishops in office who are genuine heretics - keep a modicum of perspective.
I just can’t stand uber-Catholics dictating as if they are the new magisterium - which Gerald and other bloggers appeared to have done many times - so when they derail, I may mention it here.
Gerald is thinking of quitting the blog, so go tell him not to be such a puss.
Again, I doubt my posts had much to do with this controversy, RCblog pretty much swept sweeps week with his rather intense expose (treatise) on the evils of CIC and everything queer. Don’t ever tell me ’me thinks she protests too much’, much less ask, ‘what’s with all the gay stuff?’ ever again.
So anyway - just because you disagree with a blogger, don’t demand their execution. You realize blogs are simply the author’s (contributor’s ) opinion, right? I mean, I never heard a Pope say, “Save this or that - save the world” - yet some one with no real job or assignment repeats a similar mantra, and people think it is Church teaching. Another guy tells you the Lord is telling him to do this or that on such and such day - fine - whatever - remember, a lot of these people do not have real jobs, they have nothing else to do! (Just like me! LOL!) So remember what I always say - a blog is a blog is a blog - and Gertrude Stein was a dyke.
