Friday, November 4, 2011. Shoring Up the Purple Culture: The Church Turns Away From Equality. Oday, we deal with the Bishops’ response to the question of equality. Within the Church. Have we returned as a Church to the egalitarian quality of the gospel and the first four centuries of church history? Is the tinseled clerical aristocracy defunct as is the secular aristocracy? Do the laity have a voice that is heard by the clerical aristocracy? With its Declaration of Papal Infallibility. Established a new ...

Friday, October 21, 2011. The Tide Begins to Turn: The Advance of Liberty, Equality and Democracy. Nder the mantle of the French and American revolutions, the spirit of democracy, liberty, and equality captured the hearts and minds of the western world, never again to be smothered for long. Never again in the western world would the subjection of the masses be greeted with an apathetic acceptance. Never again would it have long-term staying power. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.

Friday, October 28, 2011. Equality and the Church: Post-Revolutionary U-turns. Ow did the Church react to the ousting of the secular aristocracy? First, when asked to support the French revolution, Pope Pius VI roundly condemned it in 1791 in the ironically titled encyclical, Caritas. The condemnation was the opening move by the Vatican against the emerging liberalism, liberty, and equality. Felicité Robert de Lamennais. Lamennais and his followers started a daily newspaper, L’Avenir. It subscribed to th...

Friday, September 9, 2011. The Way We Were: The Lost Partnership Between the Laity and Church Leaders. 1 In Chapter 15 of the Acts of the Apostles. The Church- those Gentile Christians- sent. Paul and Barnabas to Jerusalem (the Vatican of that time) with their complaint and their wisdom, and their voice prevailed. It is worth noting here that Church Leaders in these early centuries worked full time jobs to support themselves. 2 The Council of Nicaea. 8220;The people would not even go to the public baths ...

Friday, December 2, 2011. Mirror, Mirror": Narcissism and the Church Hierarchy. Narcissists have a fantasy life loaded with self-images that possess the heights of beauty, wisdom, love, power, success, etc. They believe themselves so special that only persons of equal grandeur can understand them. We all begin life as narcissists. Most of us grow out of it in the daily give-and-. Take of family and school life. It is only lately that psychotherapists have realized that narcissism can be re-acquired&#...

Friday, December 9, 2011. Catholic Church Hierarchy as Cult. Oday we take a look at a more serious implication of the monarchical structure of our Roman Catholic Church: the relation of monarchy to cult, and the consequent relation of cult to its members. An example of marginalization toward a member bishop is the case of Archbishop Hunthausen. A cult presents itself as special and elitist. We saw this when we presented the narcissism. The cult structure of the episcopacy, and the cultural addiction.

Friday, December 23, 2011. Jesus' Love: A Standard for the Purple Culture. E need to establish a standard before we go further, a standard by which we can measure the purple culture and the dictates that emanate from that culture. But how does a person look through the everyday tragedies that surround us and find a loving God? Jesus was an intimate of God. He called God Abba. Daddy). He said to his apostle, Phillip, “If you see me, Phillip, you see the Father.”. What God is revealed when we study Jesus?
