Merely SAYING Liberal Christianity is a corpse that can now be autopsied does NOT make it so. Hippie “spirit” of Vatican II clergy may be dying off but they are being replaced by a faux conservatism. The proof of Liberal Christianity’s continuing influence is evident. Look no further than the USCCB.

Both the CCHD and CRS are outreach arms of the USCCB who support organizations engaging in activities antithetical to Church Teaching. Instead of de-funding these organizations, the USCCB continues with the status quo. If there are only a few “rogue” bishops why the stalemate?

I know of a bishop who was ordained to the Episcopacy under JPII and recently elevated under our present Pontiff. This Ordinary restructured the Respect Life Office in his diocese to include many other social issues that do not rise to the intrinsic evils of abortion and euthanasia. Cardinal Bernardin’s legacy continues to pay disruptive dividends, thwarting true gains toward a culture of life.

The Catholic Church does not preach "justification by faith alone", so I fail to see what relevance your comments have to the Church. See the relevant sections of the Catechism and the Catholic Encyclopedia. As for the bigoted and ignorant remarks about sex abuse, I invoke Anderson's Law.

“Our real Church is rich and fecund, and will always bear fruit.”

Your church will always bear lawsuits for molesting children anyway.

What is liberal Christianity? In the church I grew up in it was those who teach justification by faith alone instead of that you have to live morally (in addition to believing in Jesus and being baptized as believers by immersion and attending church every Sunday) to be saved. You can call yourself ‘orthodox’ with respect to the Deity of Christ, the Trinity, and whatever else, all you like, but so long as you teach justification by faith alone you are not one whit different from the churches that have fallen to the homosexual moffia — you are liberal. Oh, so instead of accepting homosexuality you say “Homosexuality is a sin, but it can’t damn anyone who believes in Jesus because we are justified by faith alone” — how does that position at all differ from the Episcopalians? Justification by faith alone is what lead them to accept homosexuality! Duh. Only those churches who reject faith-onlyism (i.e. justification by faith alone) will stand, because only they are standing now. The rest already fell long ago!

But the Catholic church is as bad as liberal Christianity. Nobody would dare raise children in it, lest they be molested.
