11/13/2006: "Where have all the Catholics gone..."

America’s Roman Catholic bishops are focusing on the many Catholics who misunderstand or disregard church teaching, instructing them on beliefs about homosexuality, marriage, contraception and Holy Communion. The prelates were also to take up documents on worthiness for receiving Communion and on the church’s widely ignored ban on artificial contraception.The bishops have proposed a new set of priorities for their streamlined conference through 2011, including an initiative supporting marriage, increasing the number of candidates for the priesthood and improving education for Catholics on church teaching.

So no talk of world peace or support for abused (many by priests) we instead talk of "natural birth control", homosexuality and marriage. I want someone to help me make it through crazy times- I want a church who believes in "Love one another- all others"- and they wonder why we have gone elsewhere?
