Hate Is A Commodity Of Morons - George Washington Bridge, A Symbol Of American Freedoms

George Washington Bridge NJ/NY Symbol of American Freedoms

I am not a regular viewer of NCR, National Catholic Reporter, a site independent somewhat of direct Catholic control, a so-called centrist POV but one that tows the party line in most instances. I do hear of articles through blogs that I view.

There was some fuss last week over an article over the death of priest in the past who had tried to minister to the LGBT community over the decades.

It was apparently comments on that article that caused NCR to shut down its comments app because of all the gay hate comments masked in anonymous named trolls.

The priest, a maverick in the AD of Philadelphia, Father Robert Nugent, was remembered in this recent article.

Well worth a read above.

But the real point to me is how the hate and threats and force of the Right is what we all have to fear especially when it shuts down civil discourse and true balanced free speech.

In many ways, the bully ways of the right, whether in shutting down traffic on the George Washington Bridge for vendetta or trolling hate of fellow humanity, Gays, is something we have all reason to be afraid of where all this anger and hate will lead this country to.

We ordered our Web editor to suspend the commenting feature and to hide all previously posted comments because of the malicious, abusive nature of the comments that have bombarded our site in recent days.

Comments will be suspended indefinitely. NCR editors will explore options that will allow commenting to return in a way that respects our writers, the subjects of our stories, and our readers. ,,,

Unfortunately, we have reached a point where the good that an open discussion can do is being outpaced by the damage it can cause when commenters do not respect civil discourse.

Comments that have appeared on the website in recent days have been vile and demeaning. We could no longer support hosting a Web feature that allows such despicable comments to appear, and that is why we ordered the suspension of that feature.

We apologize to anyone who was offended by these appalling comments.

Cardinal Timmy Dolan: Like Obama is like “Strangling” my Meal Ticket Fat Cat Catholic Church

Where is my free lunch, I mean tax free religious Lasagna?

Lately, most articles in the media, MSM, are censored on any news of this latest Vatican Banking, Spying or Child Abuse scandals  by having no comments following the articles on the Internet. I had to dig real hard to find comments, honest first amendment comments, against the FAT CAT CATHOLIC CHURCH. Here below is an article and some comments.

Cardinal Dolan and his Fat Cat Catholic Cronies are suppressing my “Secular Liberty” by crowding out the so-called public media space in the Virtual American Town Square with their lazy fast ass religious liberty bullshit.

Another blowhard who's making the Catholic Church incredibly irrelevant to today's modern world.

”We’re like, wait a minute, when did the government get in the business of defining for us the extent of our ministry?”. 

When you agreed to take public financing!

The church's position that marriage and sex must be open to procreation reduces human beings to brood cattle. It demeans marriage and sex. 

The only strangler of the Catholic Church is the Catholic Church. They worry about children not yet conceived while covering up the abuse of thousands of children for centuries.

Dolan is much, much crazier than I was expecting when he was appointed. Should have known, I guess, considering who appointed him.

As a fallen away Catholic who left the Church nearly 30 years ago because I considered its stand on contraception then to be a fraud, I'm glad to see I've been vindicated. 

The Bishops had no Biblical evidence for their stand against birth control then or now...except that it gives women and families control over their own lives and makes faith a more personal thing to seek. It truly helps one to be Born Again as an adult. We are not children. …
It's not the President's fault but their own sin of pride that is the problem.

Scathing condemnation of the sexual abuse of minors by members of the Catholic clergy, and of the inadequacy, negligence, cowardice, and perhaps even criminal inaction of members of the hierarchy in response to the scandal is well deserved, and not evidence of anti-Catholic bigotry.
