That doesn't seem to be as true anymore. However, we cannot forget that England gave us Shakespeare, Dickens, and Winston Churchill.

Let's see, what has Europe given us recently...Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, the Euro, Socialism/Communism, a Church (for the most part)dominated by modernists/secularists, and...don't forget Vatican II. So called European culture is what the populace uses to distract themselves from the dismal state of their government and economy. And, God help us, the US cannot get over this insane Europhilia.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-46376168848845371852012-07-13T10:05:37.650-04:002012-07-13T10:05:37.650-04:00@Gene W

Beattie and MacCulloch, obviously miffed at the resounding success of the Pope's visit, proceeded to put the boot into ++Vincent over the Church's alleged hostility to women and gays. Vin was visibly rattled by this ambush and I have to say didn't acquit himself very well; instead of defending Church teachings he tried to change the subject.<br /><br />You don't have to look far to discern the roots of MacCulloch's attitude to the Roman Church. That said, his TV series was not bad, especially when he was dealing with the ancient Syriac Churches. I learned a lot I didn't know before.John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-53124892918238334342012-07-11T18:21:47.644-04:002012-07-11T18:21:47.644-04:00He could be right about ONE thing: There already ...He could be right about ONE thing: There already IS a sort of schism over moral teaching. Vatican II has been sold in such a dishonest manner for so many decades now that many Catholics honestly believe that V2 was the great permission given to dive head first into moral relativism. To actually demand that Catholics follow the Church's teachings as they once did causes a knee-jerk outcry among these types that the "Dogmatic Dictatorship of the Pre-Conciliar Church" is over. Why do you think there are so many EFaphobes? There is a large body of Catholics who are self-hating inasmuch as they deny their patrimony and rebuke the authoritative teachings that we are called to follow. They are terrified that the Church might be ANYTHING at all like it was in the past. They talk about the past like it is a cuss word.Robert Kumpelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567786012498143419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-29234084650515035552012-07-11T17:53:21.466-04:002012-07-11T17:53:21.466-04:00"The Vatican's failure to listen to Europ..."The Vatican's failure to listen to European Catholics"?<br /><br />He should have written about the European Catholics failure to listen to the Vatican.Carol H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02475843499648488542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-50486104127914131002012-07-11T17:53:03.062-04:002012-07-11T17:53:03.062-04:00Nonsense on stilts.

How often, and how many will laugh him to scorn!" (Ecclesiasticus). But Samuel L. Jackson might have this to say: "And my hand shall be upon the prophets that see vain things, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, nor shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord God."<br /><br />They may deserve derision, but they are dangerous old fools, too.rcghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131930849106490711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-55360825867341763142012-07-11T17:25:09.335-04:002012-07-11T17:25:09.335-04:00He can join the long list of dilletantes who can k...He can join the long list of dilletantes who can kiss...well, never mind.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-1079183323694982772012-07-11T11:41:34.044-04:002012-07-11T11:41:34.044-04:00He can join the long list of other visionaries str...He can join the long list of other visionaries stretching back 2000 odd years who have made the same type predictions.Templarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204866760862707908noreply@blogger.com
