USCCB President Warns: "Don't Be Mislead"

USCCB President Cardinal Francis George has reminded that a dissenting group's support of gay 'marriage' is not authentic Church teaching. He reiterated that "No one should be misled by the claim that New Ways Ministry provides an authentic interpretation of Catholic teaching and an authentic Catholic pastoral practice" and noted that "Like other groups that claim to be Catholic but deny central aspects of church teaching, New Ways Ministry has no approval or recognition from the Catholic Church and...cannot speak on behalf of the Catholic faithful"

Risk of becoming 'insipid'

An "interesting tidbit" from a recent CNA article regarding Cardinal Francis George's new book...

"In the second treatise highlighted by the Vatican paper, 'The Crisis of Liberal Catholicism,' Cardinal George provides a definition of theologically, not politically, 'liberal' Catholicism. He talks about the 'creative' attempt of 'liberal Catholics' to live in the contemporary culture, albeit 'running the risk of progressively permitting the values of the culture to take priority over those of the Gospel' and thereby becoming 'insipid.'"
