The Cardinal Egan interview: yicch
From the MCJ. Another reason not to expect jack socially from the institutional church. (I’m not talking about church-run charities/social services.) Just take in the Mass, office, rule book and sacraments and be on your way: ite, missa est. Catholics don’t do coffee hour (except in the ordinariates: Anglicanism’s eighth sacrament; can be upgraded to drinks). That’s OK.

Catholicism is not clericalism: throw the book at the jerks. Partly for the sake of the many priests who are good.
