The Catholic Church does no one any favors by trying to lower her standards.
The final exam that all of us will face at the end of this life promises to be a difficult one.
"How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few" Mt 7:14.

To be clear, no one "very Catholic" supports any "right" to murder one's offspring.
A rising group of right-wing U.S. Catholic bishops is colliding with a very Catholic president who supports abortion rights.

Catholicism is Biblical,
and the Bible is Catholic.
Catholicism is not Biblical.
Mormonism is not Biblical.
Buddha, Krishna and Muhammad are false gods who cannot save anyone.
Being religious cannot save you.
The ONLY way to be made right with God and enter Heaven is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Back in seminary I didn't realize just how much of being a Roman Catholic priest today consists of navigating which Protestantizing elements must be tolerated
while trying to gently lead parishes away from the most grievous ones.

For the record, no one forced me to become a priest.
No one forced me to make a promise of celibacy.
These were what we normally refer to as "voluntary" actions.
Anyone speaking of celibacy as compulsory in the Roman Rite is being duplicitous.

The only real "weaponizing of the Eucharist" I am aware of

If you have a hard time believing Jesus fed 5000+ with five loaves and two fish,
it's not surprising that you'll also doubt His Real Presence in the Eucharist.
But Christianity proclaims a God who created all that exists out of nothing.
"Do not be unbelieving, but believe."

How are there so many Catholics who do not seem to understand that sacramental absolution in Confession does not have the same purpose as indulgences, even plenary ones?
And that no one who is not already in the state of grace can gain any indulgences?

Interesting how she talks about wanting to be like God, to be the author of her own destiny, but against the natural consequences of human biology.
There is choice, and there is slavery to the idea of self-determination, for which one might be willing even to commit murder.

I've grown very tired of Catholics who insist on seeing everything through the lens of culture wars between right & left, progressive or conservative.

Most will probably disagree, but every year it wearies me.

In fact, transferring so many of the other holy days to Sundays has only exacerbated the “demanding corporate culture that puts profits and productivity over workers health and safety.”
Instead, the Church should restore all of them to their proper days and work against slavery.

And I could explain why professing things contrary to de fide statements makes you a heretic, based on my education by a pontifical faculty at the University having roots going back to St Dominic, whether anyone ignores you or calls you a heretic or not.

I'm not sure what I stumbled upon yesterday on C-Span, but a couple reminders for us:
1. Celibacy is already Completely Voluntary. No one is conscripted into the celibate priesthood.
2. The Catholic Church has no authority whatsoever to ordain women as priests.
