To all the Catholics on my f-list - Non-Catholics, stay the Hell away or you WILL be offended

[fpb]

There is a priest in Boulder, Colorado, who is under vicious, systematic, directed attack because he is keeping the teachings of the Church and the orders of his Bishop. I have some experience of how it feels like to be at the wrong (or is it?) end of the kind of vile hatred that is being directed at this man. So I tell the Catholics and Christians on my f-list: follow this link and do what it says - http://wdtprs.com/blog/2010/03/to-arms-denver-priest-attacked-for-being-obedient-poll-alert/ - and then go to the priest's own blog and register a personal message of support. While a good man has enough in himself to stand up for the Church even to martyrdom - and to be fair, that does not yet seem to be the case here - anyone who is subjected to hundreds of direct sexually explicit threats can do with kind words from a distant country.

ummm, these 22 as far as i could count, people and their one or two placards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U-hOM2p4r4 don't seem to be particularly vicious or demonically ferocious really, do they?

nope, try as i might to convince myself that it's a problem, this is a whimper of a protest, no matter how what you write about it and in spite of your own comment: 'and to be fair, that does not yet seem to be the case here' - though i'll grant the guy in the hat certainly looks a bit shady'... of much greater concern, surely to you also, is the vatican attempting to poke it's face into domestic legislative matters in the uk.

If you think that is what happened, you are beyond hope.
