The fact that this is the NEWS, shows how far our culture has drifted away from Christ. Even the Bishops seem heroic or "controversial" when they tell simple truths of the Catholic Faith. We need profound and fundamental conversion.

Whooo, don't let that idea get around. It will make people uncomfortable.
