That's a very suburban mentality.
It's become very obvious that a lot of people who have more recently moved to Jersey City, really aren't City Folk. Their suburbanites wanting to feel like City slickers and the SUVs and Trucks evidence that. Quote:

I understand that. But again the integral component of my point is that one of the main reason why many people move to urban areas is the convenience and the reduced reliance on cars. I honestly think people persuade themselves to believe that they NEED these huge SUVs. But in reality they don't. It's a trendy thing. It's not at all necessary for people living in JC. I'm entirely uninspired by all of the responses to my original post. People are just making excuses to have huge SUVs. I'm ok with the smaller SUVs, but these larger ones are just stupid. There are also quite a few utility trucks around. It's nonesense. Quote:

The SUV Phenomenon

When I first moved into my downtown home, there weren't too many cars parked on the streets. Certainly, parking was ample. From around 2006 that started to change with new construction and wealthier people moving into the neighborhood and JC in general. The most confounding phenomenon for me is the huge SUV phenomenon. I am not sure why so many people who have moved into a City area feel a need to have huge SUVs. One of the major benefits of living in an urban area as opposed to a suburban area is that you don't need to rely on a car so much. While I don't begrudge anyone a car to make special trips and all, I just can't comprehend the need for huge SUV's. I'm some how suspicious of the actual need. It seems the suburban mentality has set in our City. Certainly, it only unnecessarily exacerbates an already difficult parking crises.

For some inexplicable reason I don't imagine myself going to the Ashford too much, but still I sorta like the dress code. I am so sick of people mostly men wearing hats while in doors.

These priest did not spent their entire career in NJ. Many of them were in NJ briefly and went on to other places. In most instances either the priest was dead long after the allegation was made, or the the allegations were about acts that happened when the priest wasn't in NJ. This article is a little bit of a hype piece. There is little tie to NJ and these people, and the instances were so far in the past.
While there is a problem. But there should be attention drawn to the problem. Not to media sensationalism. This article is a fair example of bad journalism.

You blatantly lied when you said that I admitted that do not have sympathy. In fact I said just the opposite. You're not only sick and hateful, but now it's apparent that you're also a liar.
Again, as I've mentioned before, I was in the seminary during McCarrick's first year as Archbishop of Newark. The media has overly exaggerated what actually happened. SOME of the former seminarians and priests are out right lying. Of course, I never went to his beach house nor was I a victim in any way of any of McCarrick's alleged abuse.

My priority in life is to protect and advance the civil liberties of the LGBQT community here in the US and globally. Abuse is offensive. You're desperately trying to associate homosexuality to abuse is offensive, lacks compassion, demonstrates intellectual inability. Your statement that I have no sympathy for victims is unsupported. I do have sympathy for them. The fact that I don't equate homosexuality to abuse in no way suggests I have no sympathy. You're hateful and sick. Your right to vote should be taken away.

Fortunately for the rest of the world, Yvonne will never have any influence in Church or State. She is full of hate and lacks any intellectual heft what so ever.

I don't know who you are or what you do for a living, but I'm ready to conclude that you're a strange human being with a modicum of intelligence but are off either emotionally or socially.
I am not sure of why you would randomly and gratuitously share your experience of sleeping in a rectory. No one cares, but . . . well . . . like i said it was gratuitous. Nothing in ESP's comment suggested he was bitter about the Latin mass. However, your assertion that somehow a Latin Mass elevates your spirituality is inexplicable. While I was in the seminary, because of my academic performance I was invited to study New Testament Greek. Still, I don't waive that around to suggest I have a better command of the Gospels than other people. It seems you're just posting for the sake of showing off your spirituality. That's neither charitable, Christian nor sincere. Quote:

Being interested in the Church is hardly an obsession. I was an alter boy, went to an all boys Catholic HS, a Catholic College (where i spent three years in the seminary) and then ultimately a Catholic Law School. My interests in the Church are based upon both the history of my relationship with the Church and my curiosity as an attorney. Reading Yvonne and Mao's blatant comments about hate some how triggers in me a sense of defensiveness of the Church and myself.
Your suggestion that my attendance at service, specifically at my home parish would some how cast a darkness on the church is offensive. Still it's typical of the small minded who think their relationship with Christ and the Church is unique and should be protected for only people similarly positioned. Today's Gospel reading talked about how people, very much like you, Mao and Yvonne tried to keep Jesus away from Bartimaeus. But Jesus had no tolerance for these naysayers, and went direct to Bartimaeus. Quote:

Mao's intentional misuse of hagiography was intended to thwart any observation that gays and lesbians are no less welcome and loved by Christ than straights and no less deserving of Christian rites, and intended to further his campaign to further alienate gays and lesbians from the Church. All to further his campaign to keep his world as comfortably homogenous as possible. The reality is that Mao is struggling with the reality that the Church and the world are changing in ways that he can't tolerate because it's only illuminating his discriminatory leanings and isolating him and Yvonne from what is quickly becoming the new main stream, while people like them are growing quickly irrelevant and extinct.

As #Synod2018 delegates debate whether even to mention LGBT people in their final document, Matthew Shepard, who was beaten and killed for being gay, is laid to rest at Washington National Cathedral. In today's Gospel, Jesus asks, "Why can you not read the signs of the times?" James Martin, SJS

This is not a JC based topic. It should be deleted for that reason alone. Furthermore, Yvonne needs a lot of help. She is clearly very homophobic and digging around the internet to find any piece of information about any homosexual who has walked into the doors of any Catholic church anywhere and just trash that individual all to advance her crusade to rid the free planet of any homosexual. It is clear that Yvonne, believes that homosexuals have absolutely no business inside a church or probably anywhere else, like teaching, sitting on the bench as a Judge, working as a physician etc. This evidences she is a very sick and hateful individual.

I don't know where Fr. Gerry Sudol is actually living nor why his name is still on the bulletin as being in residence. I could only suspect that it would take awhile to remove it if he has been moved. Again, I don't know why he is still on the bulletin. Still, if he is not in ministry and not proven guilty of anything, certainly not of an allegation of something that may or may not have happened awhile ago, he does get to live somewhere. There are prosecuted sex offenders who live through our neighborhoods. I would be less concerned with where he is living and more focused on what any investigation will entail.
But again, I no longer actually practice Catholicism and I don't go to services, unless I absolutely have to like an immediately family member's funeral or nuptials. Quote:

Mao,
I suspect that you are a self loathing latent homosexual. You're holding onto an institution that has self destructed despite having done many good works. Your justification for the reestablishment of a church that could no longer be productive in my opinion is just your way of looking for shelter so you could remain in denial about key aspects of your self. I find it sad. And I mean that sincerely. You seem intellectually capable with some capacity for intellectual curiosity. But you're so emotionally immature that you cannot realize your potential or find happiness. This is not a personal attack on you, but only my theory and opinion. Which candidly is based only on a few of your posts that I've read. Well that in conjunction with my spending several years in the seminary and knowing other people who very much seem to be like you. Incidentally, when I was in the seminary McCarrick leaned towards many of the same conservative positions that you espouse. It's an observation I find particularly interesting. Candidly, I believe or perhaps hope that this entire ordeal is going to be very transformative for the Catholic. Unfortunately for you, the result will not be the institution you hope for. For your sake, I hope you can find peace in that and make a place for yourself in it.

Because it's not at all consistent with the vast collection of material on the topic that I've read by more renowned authorities. Also, anecdotally, there are plenty of gay men in the world in positions as teachers, police officers, professional athletes, coaches, physicians, attorneys, plumbers who are not running around sexually assaulting people. The information Fitzgibbons published is skewed based upon the population of the study that he chose. He's entirely full of bologna. There is absolutely no integrity to his study.
For an educated guy with a law degree, you're making weak arguments. You're hoping that your reader is uneducated and will sheepishly adopt your position based upon unsubstantiated materials. You're free to enjoy older liturgy. I do as well. However, you're not going to get too many people to subscribe to your offensive and antiquated notions. Quote:

Transparency is a relatively new phenomena. Until recently, most institutions, including government, schools, politics, corporations were immune from transparency and scrutiny. Consequently, many people have suffered. The additional focus on the Catholic Church is a result of it's unique global reach and belief that religious organizations were better behaved and beyond human flaw. That in conjunction with the Church's role in disbursing judgment and penance cultivated a sense of anger.
