Right-wing Catholicism

Headlines and words in the current issue of The Irish Catholic.

Combat

Primate fires first shot in abortion debate

Collusion

The Church needs to hold its principles and pick its battles

A bunker mentality...........

Twilight Catholics.

The words and headlines remind one of an army bulletin.

Page after page of "I know best'. It's patronising and pompous.

Is how one genuflects really a marker of one's faith?

And what exactly is a 'twilight Catholic'?

It quotes three Kazakh bishops, including Athanasius Schneider, in support of no communion for remarried Catholics.

Schneider appears on a large number of blogposts, that are virulently opposed to Pope Francis.
