That ends the ADW email.  Now that (they think) the Hell Bill is a done deal (not!), the USCCB wants to hypnotize us with more left-wing drivvel.  The plans are underway; the Lenten Carbon Fast was just a warm-up.

The Church exists to save souls, to get them to heaven.  All this other stuff, while not unimportant, is secondary to the Church's first mission.  Right now, the Church, partially because of such dillution of attention, is failing abysmally in that mission.  We need to stop listening to the progressive lemmings who are at the helm of the USCCB and get the Church back on its proper course.
