Dave Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Take a gander at this letter Fr. Thomas Euteneuer of Human Life International wrote to Nancy Pelosi! Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer to Congresswoman Nancy Pelossi: "Thank you for clarifying for all U.S. Catholics the meaning of the word "apostasy." 6/26/2004 6:25:00 PM By Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer - www.hli.org June, 2004 Dear Congresswoman Pelosi, Thank you for clarifying for all U.S. Catholics the meaning of the word "apostasy." Your May 10 letter to Cardinal McCarrick qualifies for what the Catechism of the Catholic Church defines as the "total repudiation of the Christian faith" (§2089). That, by the way, is a document you may wish to consult before writing another letter to a prince of Christ's Church. Not only did your letter manifest an utterly infantile understanding of the Catholic Faith-the Blessed Sacrament is properly called the Eucharist, not the "sacrament of holy communion," please-it was intellectually dishonest in the extreme. Your lip service paid to the teaching office of the bishops while knifing their authority in the back is a treachery that deserves the scathing contempt of every honest person, Catholic or otherwise. You have lost your faith. Just admit it. One either accepts the hierarchy of truths and the hierarchy of authority, or she doesn't. You obviously don't. In such case by continuing to call yourself Catholic you are gambling with the most precious of all birthrights, your own soul; and it's yours to lose. I can understand that it is not politically correct to care about your immortal soul-prescription drug benefits are more popular in Washington-but at least have the decency not to make the souls of others "twice as fit for hell" as you. Have you forgotten about the millstone? The Lord delivered that image to another group of sophisticated public officials who scandalized the weak in faith. All those who dare call themselves Catholic while shamelessly advocating the death of Christ's "least brethren" will not have the Supreme Court to appeal to on the Day of Judgment. There is a Supreme Judge that you should be more concerned about. However, He obliges no one to remain in the Catholic Church. Membership is, above all, a free "choice." The door of the Church that opens wide to welcome every repentant sinner swings both ways. In the Name of Jesus, use it and spare the rest of us your perversity. I hold out hope that some day you will see the light and want to reconcile with the Church you have so brazenly betrayed. If so, call me. I will hear your confession. But get ready to do some serious penance. Sincerely, Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President ### [url="http://www.hli.org/letter_apostate_catholics.html"]http://www.hli.org/letter_apostate_catholics.html[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quietfire Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Oh, that was absolutely awesome. It's good to see priests standing up like this. Hopefully it will be a wake up call for her. Though I doubt it. Whenever someone hears something that they dont want to hear, they immediately dismiss it. (usually with some not-so-nice thoughts too) Peace. :peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysologus Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I think Father's letter was rather mean: "You have lost the faith. Just admit it." Ouch. That doesn't help promote pro-life policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I think it's a step in the right direction. Jesus had words for the Pharisees that weren't exactly complimentary for how they were behaving. I think that it is the most Christian policy to speak out and tell others not to persist in their sins. The pro-choice politicians are committing scandal by telling others that it is okay to have an abortion. If we as Catholics tell others that it is okay to be pro-choice and remain a faithful Catholic, we are committing scandal as well. Scandal is always of grave nature and separates us from the body of Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
