And a proper dialogue partner is a church whose views are of the sort that you would like to see your own church adopt.<br /><br />Mainstream Anglicans make ideal ecumenical partners, because they generally have all the right views. The ilk that came tromping in through the Ordinariates, you see, are the sort that have all the wrong views, especially on sexual stuff. Can't have that, can we?Athelstanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07346012062816580296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-87146274764004146162015-02-28T19:25:55.130+00:002015-02-28T19:25:55.130+00:00A very good question indeed...over to you, "C...A very good question indeed...over to you, "Catholic" Times!Jonathan Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955408376728340845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-73500706216785005502015-02-28T18:18:27.256+00:002015-02-28T18:18:27.256+00:00Understood!Understood!Jacobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743062941733814176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-79508313141643530432015-02-28T17:44:38.852+00:002015-02-28T17:44:38.852+00:00Why is Loftus given a platform in a 'major'...Why is Loftus given a platform in a 'major' Catholic publication to spout his heresy every week?Christendom Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319342331304986787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-39737192807283704152015-02-28T17:38:12.429+00:002015-02-28T17:38:12.429+00:00Jacobi: well perhaps I do.

My defence is that he isn't just spouting off to his mates in the pub; he isn't even just spouting off on a solipsistic blog; he is writing a weekly column in a newspaper sold in churches and operating with ecclesiastical approval, with 'Catholic' in its title.<br /><br />I also think that regular examination of the liberal virus as it affects different topics is a valuable exercise; it helps to clarify what we are up against and it gives intellectual weapons to the orthodox to oppose it. I critique other writers too with the same end in view.Joseph Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587987442560784792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-69673912574438979412015-02-28T17:26:24.858+00:002015-02-28T17:26:24.858+00:00Joseph,

Is it supposed to be a sort of humorous column, parodying the craziest ideas of 1960s hippies? I suppose that, as with the old Telegraph "Peter Simple" column, there is no need to flag it up as satire.Eccleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357168852208499013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-58561782016779820702015-02-28T10:53:16.924+00:002015-02-28T10:53:16.924+00:00Is Loftus a real person?
