@RyanJMarotta Oh! I just remembered Bill Maher said the same thing about his family, ironically enough. Imagine if his family had kept going to church how he might have turned out 😂
@RyanJMarotta I forget exactly how Greeley's data laid it out but it was similar to what you said. Essentially he found that Catholics really liked the new changes and expected more changes to bring the church into line with their reality and when that didn't happen they walked.
@Chris_SmithsJ I agree he's probably a decent person most of the time. I do think he let the "spirit of the age" get the best of him and was intentionally controversial to boost book sales and speaker fees. Hopefully he reimmerses himself in his parish ministry
Received a letter from the bishop's office today. Instead of addressing it to St Name Parish, they sent it to St Name Pariah.
I emailed and asked if that was a typo, a Freudian slip, or my new title? 🤣😇
@Apocaloptimist5 I agree the Russians have been there all along but till now they've been hiding behind a laughably thin veil of plausible deniability.
@Apocaloptimist5 dont think Putin would have pulled this stunt if his guy was in WH. Trump was perfectly good at driving wedges between NATO allies all on his own.
As to ur specific point: w/o US commitment to funneling weapons, Euro allies wouldnt have been able to agree on much of anything IMO
