Yeah, What the Rabbit Said

Yesterday I posted about Fr Newman and my admiration for his actions. Today, I got an email from tchadwick6@cox.net who had these words of love for me
This un-holiest of human excrement is going to burn in hell! How dare anyone in the Catholic Church EVER judge any other human after the thousands of children the church has molested and the millions they have slaughtered! May you burn for eternity in the depths of hell!

I get physically sick just approaching a catholic church! Many happy abortions to you and yours~


Perhaps he needs to listen to Thumper for a moment, he says it better than I could.



Here is my response:
Dear tchadwick6,

Thank you for your input concerning the content on my blog. I always welcome constructive criticism from my readers and will certainly take yours under advisement. At the present time; however, I must agree to disagree with you as I choose to stay ever faithful to the Magisterium.

It is obvious to me that you are in some sort of personal/spiritual torment regarding the actions of Fr Newman and of the Catholic Church as a whole. It has been my experience that we often fear that which we need most. While I can not pretend to understand what would drive you to the point of such vitriol, rest assured that I will be praying for you to find peace.

As for your generous wishes regarding "many happy abortions", I must respectfully decline at this time.

Thanks for reading and God bless you,
+JMJ+

Wow, the Mom. You showed so much patience and fortitude for such a one as this. I hope that I can keep such a Christian witness in the face of this kind of hatred. Well done, sister. Hope to see you soon.

Good job, the Mom, well done. I got cyber-jumped a few weeks back on my blog too, but nothing this vitriolic.

Keep the faith.

Go, Mom! You Rock!
And so THIS is what happens when I let one day go by without reading your blog?! I missed a lot of action I see!

I will keep this person in my prayers. You are a kind and gentle woman - no wonder you're The Mom!

Kim!
What do you mean you didn't read my blog for one day? I'm not revoking your "Wonder Twin" status yet, Missy, but you're on thin ice.

Cassie,
Thanks, but I'm not so sure about the "kind and gentle" part, but I'm continually striving for it. It would seem I have a ways to go since I published his/her email address an, truth be told, hoped for at least one reader to send a "How dare you treat The Mom that way..." email. I still have a long way to go.

My main reason for posting it is that I have a thing about not letting people be slime in the dark. If you throw some light on them they tend to rethink their nastiness once the world can see it. I have a no slime rule, perhaps I should warn people about that.

Good work!
Great response, I don't know if I would of been so kind.
Shows you must be close to Jesus, as he would of given a kind but firm response like you I'm guessing.
Keep up the good work.
