(AoftheANews) TAMPA BAY – For engaged couple Marty Loomis and Paula Cargensteim, the motu proprio issued by Pope Francis on Tuesday, in which several aspects of the annulment process have been changed, couldn’t have come at a better time. “We’re so excited!” Paula told AoftheA News. “Knowing that an annulment will be so easy to get once our marriage fails has made Marty and me very happy.

Quotes From The Crazy Right Wing Catholic Bible, No. 1

Last updated on: February 21, 2016 at 9:37 am By Larry D

You can’t be Christian and a xenophobe. I’m seeing on Twitter where some people – allegedly Christians – are categorically calling the refugee crisis an “infiltration” and ascribing evil motives to these desperate people. And I understand the need for governments to exercise prudence and right judgment and all, but seriously – if we, as Christian individuals, don’t welcome the stranger and refugee because we *suspect* there might be ties to terrorism…God will hold us responsible for our sin of omission....

“Christ Came to Justify, And Not To Render Justice…”

Last updated on: February 21, 2016 at 9:37 am By Larry D

Servant of God Madeleine Delbrel continues to rock my spiritual world. I’ve written previously about her here. I saw this in the September issue of Magnificat – taken from the 9/2 “Meditation of the Day” – The Gospel is the proclamation to people that they have the possibility of being justified in Christ. It is not the proclamation of the establishment of human justice. Christ came to justify, and not to render justice… […] Preach the Gospel – the Good... Read more

RCWP Response To Attack On “Woman Priest” Fails Mercy Acid Test

Last updated on: February 21, 2016 at 9:37 am By Larry D

Long time readers of Acts of the Apostasy know I’m no fan of “women priests” in the Catholic Church. I’ve written about them and against them many times over the years. That being said, the attack against one of their members the other day was a horrible, despicable act, and deserves condemnation. From The NYPost: The man who attacked and seriously burned a Queens woman Wednesday night — splashing her in the face with a Drano-like substance — snuck up and ambushed... Read more

Bishop-elect Barron’s “Reasonable Hope” Isn’t Unreasonable At All

Last updated on: February 21, 2016 at 9:37 am By Larry D

Back in 2011, then-Father Barron released the following video via his Word On Fire ministry, titled “Whether Hell Is Crowded Or Empty”. It’s about 10 minutes long, but if you haven’t seen it before, take the time to watch it. I’ll wait. Welcome back. Barron professes a “reasonable hope” that Hell is empty, and at the time, his belief caused a bit of a tempest in a teapot, primarily with more traditionally-minded Catholics, who accused Bishop-elect Barron of advocating absolute “Universal Salvation”. A recent criticism of this... Read more
