Such "links" include speaking at a conference where a reputed extremist once spoke; attending events, even if mainstream, that extremists also attended; and writing articles for publications that at some time also published articles by extremists.<br /><br />No wonder the SPLC sees "extremists" everywhere -- except on the left.Mikehttp://mctuggle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447603865959500290.post-32978279869161146082015-09-20T21:50:45.590-04:002015-09-20T21:50:45.590-04:0039% do not view homosexual behavior as sinful
...<br /> 39% do not view homosexual behavior as sinful<br /> 49% do not think that remarriage without an annulment is a sin<br /> 54% do not regard cohabitation as a sin<br /> 66% do not believe that contraception is a sin. <br /><br />I would suggest that many of these are not "protestant" but poorly educated and informed about the Faith or seem to have the impression that the "spirit of Vatican II" (they never read the actual documents) has liberated us from all that old-fashioned morality stuff. <br /><br />In a way they cannot be blamed. It has been decades since I've heard a parish priest preach about the dangers of Hell or the need for Confession & such unpleasant topics. I HAVE met Directors of Religious Education who refer to the Eucharist as "the bread of life" and basically pooh-pooh the Church's teaching on birth control &c.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909403492050641160noreply@blogger.com
