"To Hell With It" - Reducing Religion to Ethics | National Catholic Reporter

"To Hell With It" - Reducing Religion to Ethics | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: I don't agree with the premise, which is why the left fights so bitterly when bishops on the right insist that we be denied Communion for not supporting their political agenda on electing Republicans because they might eventually pay attention to life issues (which, by the way, is still a fraud).  We also bring our leftism into the Church, which is why we fight for the ordination of women and an end to a sexual ethics that is based on the misogynistic idea that priestly continence is necessary in order to celebrate the Eucharist (which is an insult to the married state - and behind much of the faux piety around sexual issues).  Finally, part of the empty tomb was the washing of the feet at the Last Supper - which given how bishops operate the rest of the year, is a bit of an empty ritual.
