"If it's trouble you're looking for you're going to get it."

Carol McKinley takes a well-aimed blast at self-proclaimed "à la carte Catholics" like Kevin Cullen from the Boston Globe. She hits her mark, as always. Read the whole thing; here's an excerpt:

This is the stupidest caricature of Catholics who reject Church teaching, and consequently their own salvation, I have ever read. All Catholics sit in the pews and struggle with Church teaching.

Some struggle with accepting the teaching. Others accept the teaching but struggle with practice.

That's what we are all doing there.

What Catholics will not accept is when a struggling Catholic uses their presence to encourage others to reject Church teaching, tempt and draw them into celebrating and taking pride in immorality and sin. The Unitarians down the street love that kind of stuff and you are most welcome there. You're not welcome to do it where our families sit to learn how to make choices that affect their salvation. If it's trouble you're looking for you're going to get it.

Thanks, Carol. Reading your stuff is always a breath of fresh air, with just a hint of napalm.

Smells like... victory.
