WHINY CHURCH

from Midwest Conservative Journal by The Editor

Some LibCats complain that the Vatican isn’t listening to them:

Members of a liberal group of U.S. Roman Catholics on Sunday called on Church leaders to open talks with their members on controversies ranging from the ordination of women to allowing priests to marry.

This group went on to say that it was entirely willing to modify or jettison its own views on these issues in favor of those held by the Vatican if it could be shown that…HAW, HAW, HAW, HEE, HEE, HEE, HAW, HAW, HAW, I crack me up.

Members of the American Catholic Council, meeting in Detroit, said they had grown concerned the church’s hierarchy was not listening to its members on issues such as the role of women, married clergy and the treatment of homosexuals.

Translation: Rome steadfastly refuses to get with the Episcopal Organization program.

“When in God’s name are the conversations going to begin?” asked Joan Chittister, a Benedictine nun who addressed the meeting of about 2,000 people — part of a liberal wing that represents a minority in the 1.2 billion-member Church.

Conversations, Joanie? What on Earth have theologians been doing for the last 2,000 years? Playing canasta?
