Clearly you didn't get much of an education, but that's likely more your own fault than that of the school you chose given your propensity of making claims without backing them up. Are you the same brave anon that posted to Jeremy Stanbury's blog? <BR/><BR/>Given your chosen terminology and claims of "my" schools, then I'm guessing you and that anon are one and the same.<BR/><BR/>So I'll refer you back to Jeremy's comments to you. Please learn to support your opinions as I did in the post that followed this one. <BR/><BR/>You would learn a great deal by reading John Paul II's writings - further, you'd learn that the teachings of the Catholic Church actually utilize both faith AND reason, neither of which, it appears through your ignorant comment, that you have. <BR/><BR/>If you're interested in true dialogue, then stop posting such tripe, get a backbone, identify yourself, and back up your claims with solid facts rather than just "I'm a whiner and I don't like you" types of comments. <BR/><BR/>Get a life anon, or at least get a backbone.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-1129318360413242312007-03-09T17:45:00.000-06:002007-03-09T17:45:00.000-06:00If only your schools were as equal and open as the...If only your schools were as equal and open as the University of Minnesota you might actually have a case. Yet your elementary schools do not admit the disabled (yet you clamor for money in Milwaukee - like the welfare whores your conservative henchmen deride) Your universities like Notre Dame shirk discussion when confronted with alternative faith ideas. Where is the dialouge on a catholic campus? I don't see it. As a former student of a catholic college in the midwest I found it uniquely oppressive and more of a mommy-state than a liberal-arts institution. This appears to be what you think the legacy of PJPII is. Thats really sad. I don't know much about him, but I do know that to use one man as an excuse for your oppressive ideas, let alone a dead guy is pretty low... hey, at least you didn't use Jesus (that would be really ironic).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-10183706240627987472007-03-07T06:46:00.000-06:002007-03-07T06:46:00.000-06:00Oh so brave Anonymous. You have indeed proven your...Oh so brave Anonymous. <BR/><BR/>You have indeed proven yourself to be a product of the U of M's school of human dignity through your personal attach in which you both identify yourself as "Catholic" and yet call real practicing Catholics a "fringe group." And you likely don't even understand that such derision is in fact a personal attack. <BR/><BR/>The scary thing is that your dignity is undermined far more than those of us you so malign as a "fringe group." <BR/><BR/>Go back to that school and get your money back; you don't know the meaning of "intellectual discourse".<BR/><BR/>WHERE, exactly, is the intellectual discourse in this play? Anyone versed in civil conversation, debate, and discussion knows that you do not open a topic by ridiculing that which is so clearly not understood. <BR/><BR/><BR/>My friend, right-hand Muslims would not sing praises and pray; they would blow up the U using dirty bombs. <BR/><BR/>It is not easy to be a real, practicing Catholic in our time; in fact, it has never been easy to live this life. Although your snide comment that we are a "fringe group" is meant from the bottom of your heart to be cruel, I take it as a compliment on behalf of all of us; Jesus and his disciples were a fringe group, too. <BR/><BR/>Go back and study your catechism and why don't you go read some of what Pope John Paul II said about Faith, Reason, and the Redeemer of Man. <BR/><BR/>Then maybe you can actually see what real discourse is all about.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-26398110321069715512007-03-07T00:07:00.000-06:002007-03-07T00:07:00.000-06:00That the catholics plead to be heard, and even fun...That the catholics plead to be heard, and even funded with tax dollars in the case of the Milwaukee public schools case is quite funny because right now your asking for the defunding of a university based on intellectual discourse. This seeems more like the tactics of a hard-right muslim group upon hearing an "Allah" joke than a catholic group upon hearing about (but not seeing) a play about the church.

That play sounds like blasphemous poppycock -- sad that people would pay money to see it, and sad to see it was written by a Nobel laureate. You're right -- Catholics would never riot, burn the theatre down, etc. We have the most powerful weapon ever -- prayer -- and that will bring about true change more than any programs or "initiatives" or committee meetings!

That must have been the group that came from St Thomas that she knew from her year in Rome, etc. <BR/><BR/>I was kinda surprised that nobody objected to the SJV men setting up where they had on Friday night right next to the stairs to Rarig.<BR/><BR/> Now it makes sense that those weren't seminarians in the smaller group.

Our offering of reparation was all the more powerful tonight in God's eyes, as well as the eyes of those who passed by, because of the bitter cold. Yet the joy & fervor with which the 100 strong sang and prayed was inspiring.<BR/><BR/>We did not shout. We did not curse or show violence. We simply "prayed for those who hate us and persecute us," as Jesus taught. The Church is young, the Church is strong, and dang if we can't sing a Latin hymn!<BR/><BR/>Nice meeting you tonight, Adoro. Keep up the good work.<BR/><BR/>And another way to protest anti-Catholic theater is to support good Catholic theater! THE SCRUTINY PASSION is my latest play through Epiphany Studio Productions, which will debut at St. Olaf Catholic Church in downtown Minneapolis later this month, March 29 & 30.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/><BR/>J.
