Lapsed Catholics explain why they leave church – USATODAY.com




Lapsed Catholics explain why they leave church – USATODAY.com: "Their reasons ranged from the personal ("the pastor who crowned himself king and looks down on all") to the political ("eliminate the extreme conservative haranguing") to the doctrinal ("don't spend so much time on issues like homosexuality and birth control").

In addition, they said, they didn't like the church's handling of the clergy sex abuse scandal and were upset that divorced and remarried Catholics are unwelcome at Mass.
The findings, based on responses to a survey in the Diocese of Trenton, N.J., are included in a report presented March 22 at the "Lapsed Catholics" conference at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C."

Well, if you object to fundamental Catholic doctrine and dogma:  Good bye and farewell, comeback when you convert and repent.

Vitrearum's Church Art

Vitrearum's Church Art:

This a great blog about Church Art in England.  It has many magnificent pictures of Churches in that country from before the destruction by Henry VIII, Edward and Elizabeth.  It remind us that England was Catholic at one time and the pictures show the remnants of that Catholic art.   While the blog is  not updated often, the archive of images is stunning.
