We Are A Church Divided!

We are a Church Divided!
In pursuit of the truth- www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, May 20, 2010

The U.S. Catholic Church faces heretical challenges from dissident Catholic intellectuals and theologians. Ordinary American Catholics folks can help by crushing their CINOP disciples at the polls in 2010. The Cardinal Newman Society’s letter of May 6th, 2010 discusses this very serious matter.

It is shocking that leading Catholic colleges have been breeding ground for every destructive effort to undermine the foundations of our Catholic faith: They dissent on contraception and abortion. They promote gay marriage, desecration of the sacred liturgy, and reject papal authority and doctrine.

We have a betrayal of the Church from within. Catholic colleges are also serving as willful accomplices in the assault on religious liberty. Consider this: While the U.S. Bishops denounced Obama care because of abortion funding and insufficient conscience protection for Catholic doctors and nurses, theologians at Catholic Colleges directly undermined the Bishops. {This will not stand and we have a duty to act.} “In March, 25 leading “theologians” – 11 of them citing CATHOLIC COLLEGE CREDENTIALS – sent a letter to members of Congress urging them to reject arguments that Obama care expands abortion funding … in other words ignore the Catholic Bishops! The signers included:

• Terrence Tilley, chairman of Fordham University’s theology department
• David DeCosse, Director of Campus Ethics Programs at Santa Clara University
• Sandra Yocum, religious studies chair at the University of Dayton: and
• Bryan Massingale, at Marquette University theology professor and President of the Catholic Theological Society of America.

According to the Associated Press, Father Hesburgh lobbied a pro-life congressman to support Obama care at the request of Nancy Pelosi! How could a highly esteemed Catholic college leader betray the Bishops like that?

Father Hesburgh organized the 1967 “Land O’ Lakes Conference,” at which Catholic college leaders brazenly declared independence from the Church. Father Hesburgh has publicly defended last year’s honor to pro-abortion President Obama by current Notre Dame President Father John Jenkins – ignoring vocal opposition from the nation’s Bishops. Pundits have noted that Notre Dame’s fawning over President Obama gave him just the credibility he needed to divide Catholics and conquer the Bishops on healthcare.

Also, the “Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities” responded shamefully to last year’s Notre Dame scandal by calling on the Bishops to back off their policy of banning Catholic honors to pro-abortion politicians. The Jesuit University of San Francisco will honor at its commencement this month 1) Notre Dame’s Father John Jenkins; 2) Lloyd Dean, president of Catholic Healthcare West, who advocated and celebrated Congress’ approval of Obama care, and 3) Dale Minami, an attorney and outspoken advocate for same-sex “marriage.” … ref.
