I have been boycotting companies and foundations which support Planned Parenthood and abortion since the early 1980s, when one had to write into the nascent groups keeping track for print outs of lists.
Today, I met two Catholics who bought Girl Scout Cookies. I hardly know what to say to them as they are of a certain age. They had never heard of http://cookiecott.com/
Rarely do I blame the clergy for things, but I must point a finger at priests today.
If these men actually spread the news of the nationwide boycott of GS cookies from the pulpit, people who do not use twitter or facebook would be in the know.
I cannot talk to everyone....
There still is a large group of Catholics who do not regularly use the Net. And, these Catholics have money. They are the ones who do not read LifeSiteNews, or American Life League, or Priest's for Life. They buy things on the pro-life boycott lists.
Sadly, many of these Catholics watch EWTN, which refuses to enter into the real battle which most of us fact in the Church Militant.
I did not know what to say to these people who only read lame magazines, newspapers, watch msm, and EWTN.
We are a divided Church owing to the fact that so many Catholics refuse to use the Net and find out what is really happening in the Church and in the world.
A generation gap? Maybe? But, I am sick at heart seeing GS cookies being bought by local Catholics.
And, to top it off, there will be yet another gay pride float in the St. Patrick's Day parade here in Davenport. I am trying to find out who sponsors the parade.
One cannot bring one's children or grandchildren to such an event, which use to have a Catholic backing form the local Catholic schools and parishes.
Horrors. What would St. Pat do?
