Entry: Theological Cannon Fodder Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/theological_cannon_fodder#18188 Post contents: There were a lot of problems with the traditionalist Church and to deny them is folly. It is not a question of pied pipers luring the faithful away with empty promises but of the laity not finding what they wanted or needed inside the Church, maintained there by the threats of Hell, and made to feel like dirt if they questioned the dicta of the priest or the bishops. It was not that the Chruch had at some time or another unworthy leadership, but that it made a point that all leaders, good, bad, or indifferent were to be obeyed without grumbling. Inflicting poor leadership upon your flock is not the best way to care for them. Is it any surprise when those people when given a chance to escape they did so? The seeds were planted long ago. It is now the harvest time. Sent at: 2009 01 08
