This Ode thread was pretty odious. Fr. Cekada deserves an apology. I just read his Motu letter from last year. Here is one of the few peple on the planet who had the guts to tell the truth.
http://www.dailycatholic.org/issue/09Jul/jul7.htm Also the great moaner accused me of smoking crack. (bad joke)
Also I keep hearing the word "cult" being applied to SGG.There might be some truth to that but I believe the real cult feel originates with the Club Infallible theology that was enshrined in 1870. That alone causes schizophrenia. Just like the wizard of Oz, when you elevate the papal office to that of an infallible wizard, you are lowering the status of all Christians.
These words from the Ode thead are haunting
"Letting go and moving on does not necessarily equate with leaving the wolves to ravage the flock at will. Doing the former in a certain way ENABLES the latter to continue unabated. The wolves thrive because the sheepdogs do not bark. "
Good question - wrong situation. Where are the sheepdogs when Pope Benedict recently said it was no longer necessary to preach Jesus to the Jєωs ? For the last 139 years Catholics have been beaten down with this abuse of power. IF you listen to the protestants, it has been going on a lot longer than that.
Anyway I just wish the sheepdogs would go after the known mass murderers of the faith (Pope Benedict), rather than someone who may have bruised the head of someone's ego.
