Last year I posted an open letter to the Catholic Book Publishers Association concerning their lifetime achievement award being given to a dissident who likes to promote other dissidents.

This year it’s the Episcopalian’s turn. Their speaker at the Religious Book and Trade Expo is Gene Robinson. You know, the homosexual man who ran out on his wife and kids to live in sin who then got elected as bishop? Yep, it seems that a whole lot of Christian groups have a real death wish for their various denominations. You can’t promote people and views antithetical to biblical truths and expect your church to last. You could pick any number of Catholic religious orders such as the Ursulines, the Sisters of Notre Dame or the Christian Brothers to prove that point. You could also note that the average age of the readership of the National “Catholic” Reporter is 68.

When will these people learn that it is the challenge of orthodoxy that draws people, not the ease of relativism.

A few days ago we received a call from an ad rep for the National Catholic Reporter. Considering who they are and who we are, they must be getting pretty desperate for ad revenue.

They recently announced that they were going to a bi-weekly printing schedule and the ad rep said that next year they are going to a magazine format which I assume means monthly.

Considering that the average age of the NCRs readership is 68, they may want to go into the funeral card business instead.
