Catholic Sin
by Wiseman ~ February 16th, 2004
“I have always believed that there is a certain kind of Catholic (mostly male and mostly heterosexual), acutely aware of his own sinfulness, for whom AmChurch will just never get the job done. If there had been no old rite to come back to I think Gibson would have jumped out that window he talked about. There should be much to ponder in this phenomenon for the leaders of our Church. The kind of Catholicism that brought a Hollywood superstar to his knees does not include Fr. Bob and his Eucharistic harem.”
- David Kubiak, commenting at Open Book here.
I’m about a week behind in my correspondence and really don’t have time for this, but Mr. Kubiak’s statement was too good to pass up. Your Excellencies: are you listening? Give us the militant, heroic, ascetic Catholicism of the saints — or watch your paper church fade into oblivion.
