[QUOTE=Drolefille;1932271] Raised Roman Catholic, attended Catholic grade school, High School, and attended a Jesuit University. My Catholic cred is solid, yo. But most people here know that at least to some extent so I don't mind sharing.
==============================
You have very solid cred.
In my case I was raised, still practicing, and convinced RC, Catholic Parochial School, Jesuit High School (except for two years at Eton), Jesuit University,
active with Jesuit community at Campion Hall when I was doing an MA in comparative law at Oxford, and still an active parishoner and usher at Farm Street Jesuit Church when I am in London. While I was in Law School I was active in a Jesuit parish attached to another Jesuit University. Oro pro Societas!
While moderately conservative I tend to think that God the Father, who we have been urged by Christ to address as 'Abba', which is the Aramaic diminuative form of Father, better translated as 'Daddy', is not terribly preoccupied with condemning his children. I suspect that one would have to be ESSENTIALLY negative to face serious sanction. I use 'Essentially' in the Thomistic sense here.
I suggest we might kick this around a bit as I would like to hear your take on not only this but broader related issues as well.
