Further...Awake

I thought this was an interesting and unsurprising article. This source is a Catholic website, and I found the candor of the author refreshing.

Article: "Further Adrift"

Excerpt: In February 2008, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life’s U.S. Religious Landscape Survey, based on interviews with a representative sample of thirty-five thousand adult Americans, reported that one out of every three adult Americans who were raised Catholic have left the church. If these ex-Catholics were to form a single church, they would constitute the second largest church in the nation.

Why stop with a mere schism? It's time to kick all the bums into the light and heat...

I have prepared a special surprise for the folks in the Vatican. Read my recent press releases. They have lied about what they are up to and now you have proof. They are meeting to discuss me and what I have published. The Vatican's long expected demise is now imminent.

The head in sand pose may temporarily hide danger from the ostrich, but the hungry lion has no misconceptions about the truly dire nature of that bird's predicament. The truth has escaped its cage, and gone on a rampage, seeking long overdue justice.

Peace and Wisdom...
