A sort of exclusive inclusivity, if that isn't a contradiction in terms.<br /><br />I hope this makes sense, as having just read through it, I'm not sure I understand it haha!!mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06962374096401238994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-8746810732678369262010-07-18T02:51:38.798+01:002010-07-18T02:51:38.798+01:00I agree.

Sadly my woolly Catholic experience pre lapse just undermined all that. <br />Once those pieces were firmly in place the RC Church made much more sense. So you could say the protestants made a proper catholic out of me.

It was riddled with errors as were her subsequent clarifications. It was an attempt to "swim with the tide" on the question of clerical abuse for ulterior purposes. The tone of the article was very unfortunateAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216619732353177072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-71615288658025092052010-07-17T23:24:29.385+01:002010-07-17T23:24:29.385+01:00I had a similar "Road to Damascus" momen...I had a similar "Road to Damascus" moment that brought me back to the Church.<br /><br />I <b>do</b> have problems agreeing with the Church on one issue. I think the Church is wrong, but am willing to concede that she has had thousands of wiser men than I run her for 2000 years with a lot more help from the Holy Spirit than I in my sinful life.<br /><br />So <b>I</b> wouldn't start campaigning or shouting from the rooftops, because these things aren't and can not be "grassroots" movements. The real truth is the truth that comes from God alone, and that is the only method the Church can use to set her rules, opinions and beliefs.<br /><br />Yours @worldofnic / Nic Doye.nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08171287466268391184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-6237041484032818582010-07-17T23:15:56.232+01:002010-07-17T23:15:56.232+01:00Amen to you, Mac . . . and Amen to Miss Sayers as ...Amen to you, Mac . . . and Amen to Miss Sayers as well !Dominic Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514722976964423091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-68411358323709436212010-07-17T23:05:39.413+01:002010-07-17T23:05:39.413+01:00This sort of thing has always been with us - Dorot...This sort of thing has always been with us - Dorothy L Sayers (1893 – 1957) said “Surely it is not the business of the Church to adapt Christ to men, but to adapt men to Christ.”Londiniensishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310965192661014230noreply@blogger.com
