I actually read about this a few weeks ago in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,

[quote]We are persons from diverse backgrounds. We are POSITIVE
and not interested in old battles. We too are searching
for more meaning in our lives, in our Interpersonal Relationships.

All Persons are welcome to our Communion Table, and for
those who wish it, we have General Absolution at every Mass.

So come around some Sunday and see what we are all about. We will, at least, give you a cup of coffee and a cookie. [/quote]

Oh yes a cookie.

[MissScripture]

Hooray! I could get a cookie! That's better than recieving the Body of Christ Jesus! [/sarcasm].

Wow, and people actually go for that? Oh, wait, sounds like some of my former highschool teachers *rolls eyes*.

[quote]We do not believe in Dogmatic Statements. There is no absolute knowledge. [/quote]

They follow up the statement "We do not believe in Dogmatic Statements" with, well, a dogmatic statement: "There is no absolute knowledge".

I guess there may be absolute knowledge after all.

Uh, their logo of the chalice and host with people around it looks like a fried egg. Is it just me?

[philothea]

Icky, but laughable, too.

"All who want to see clerical domination ended..."

I want more clerical domination, sorry...

Just one more aspect of clerical domination...

[homeschoolmom]

1. It is orientated to agapic loving. (we care about your waistline)
2. It is always interpersonal. (more talking-- less chewing)
3. It announces there will be suffering in this life. (ONE cookie)

eugh, eugh, EUGH!!!!!!

EUGH

This kills me:

[quote]Therefore we care about:
l. Divorced Persons, especially their remarriage.
2. Persons of all Sexual Orientations.
3. Women who want full stature and equality with men, NOW.
4. Those who want to see Celibacy and Clerical
Domination ended, now.
5. Those who seek Intellectual Integrity, and, at the same time, a real and vibrant Faith.[/quote]

You tell 'em Fr. Bill.....especially #4; and is the NOW a veiled endorsement of the National Association of Women, or am I a just naive????

Sheesh.

[Cam42]

[quote]AGAPIC LOVE
Our Basic Theology and Spirituality is based on the 2000
year tradition of Jesus Christ, that God Is Love.

We believe that every Human Person is capable of loving,
as Jesus loved...unselfishly or agapically. We, therefore,
invite all persons who desire to grow along the lines
of unselfish love in their INTERPERSONAL-RELATIONSHIPS.

SPIRITUALITY, IN OUR COMMUNITY, MEANS SHARING GOD'S LOVE
WITH WHOM EVER WE ENCOUNTER
NOW
IN THIS WORLD
THE BEST WAY WE CAN
IMPERFECT AS THAT MAY BE.
THE WORD "GOD' MEANS LOVING OTHERS AS JESUS LOVED.

Our place of Worship is not fancy, but it is comfortable.[/quote]

This is just gross.....liberalism is so unauthentic...."agapic," I think that a new word has been coined.

NAW!

NOW would be a veiled endorsement of the National Organization of Women.

(we can associate, just not be organized about it. )

What does this mean???

[quote]
Our Ritual is exciting and meaningful. It is modeled in a traditional way, but has been rewritten and adapted for all persons. No one, of any religious background, should be offended. [/quote]

Except those of the religious background you have rewritten. Like myself. :

*writes down yet another prayer intention*.

[quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Aug 2 2005, 09:33 AM']What does this mean???

[/quote]

It means we can rewrite the dictionary! Allow me to demonstrate:

Catholic = Non-denominational
cookie = Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ instantiated in tasty chocolate chip
forgiveness of sins = illicit general absolution whenever you feel like it
divorced = single
crystal = suitable container for fermented grape juice (oh wait, this hasn't changed!)
relativism = absolutely no dogmatic statements

"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian, when *death* is on the line." "

I feel that everyone who decides that words don't mean what they mean deserves this fate:
