I had done that all my wife from a strong protestant faith. I never forced her. She was converted last years to Catholic at her own request after 15 years of marriage.

it sounds like you are judging the entire Church by one man’s actions… Does it make you wonder if people ever judge your entire country, or your entire religion, based on your actions? That’s an awful lot of responsibility to put on one person, don’t you think? Kind of paves the way for prejudice.

I know that there are a lot of not so holy priests out there… yet, there are also a lot of very holy priests out there, as well.

The Catholic Church was instituted by Christ, and as such it has protections against certain things – but still, its members are human and as such, are subject to the fallen nature of humanity. We are sinners striving to become saints, not saints by association.

Of course Rome wouldn’t respond condemning or supporting the actions of one parish priest, do you think that all they have to do up there is respond to your – or my – letters? Their lack of response could simply mean that your letter wasn’t read by the right person – perhaps you ignored the normal format for protesting something within the Church, but is that their fault or yours? If you send a letter to the president of the United States, do you expect a personal response or assume that he disagrees with your letter? Rome is even busier than Washington, trust me.

I used to be a reader at mass at Emmaus and since that tower went up several years ago my family and I quit the Catholic Church because it did a sleazy thing because it was desperate to make money.

So lets see if you have the courage to respond to me email. I recall that Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple, so why is this OK?

The most disturbing part of this is that the church is in Lakeway and my neighborhood is in The Village of The Hills. This vile priest put the cell phone tower on the last inches of land in Lakeway and the neighbors had no notice it was coming and came home one day to find this in their backyard.

Is this something your WWJD would approve of?

Do you feel proud about this?

BTW I went to Catholic elementary school, high school and college and this vile act by Emmaus Catholic Church made me so mad. I reported it to the Nuncio in Rome and he did nit give one hoot about me . That leads me to believe that Rome also supports doing whatever you can to gee t money for your parish.

I really want to see if you have what it takes to respond to me.

I am also forwarding this email to the national media.

I would like for you to respond to me so that i can email the photos of this vile act.

Did Jesus die on the cross so that a priest could whore himself for money??????

NSF, please keep those prayers coming. I’ll be praying that you help many people discover the faith, if they don’t already know it, or appreciate it and live it better, if they do.

Today, as the pope returns to Rome, is a great day to pray especially for the Holy Father and the Church in Latin America.

I am a new convert to the RC Faith and receive spiritual formation from OD in San Francisco. It’s great to see you taking to the web! I pray for the Work every day — y’all have helped me become a faithful Catholic (the “norms”) and I in turn am helping others. Thanks so much!
