Correcting Fr James Martin….yet again

Fr James Martin SJ has a huge presence on social media, and his tweets (and the positive comments they spark off) reveal a reality that most in the Catholic leadership wish to ignore.

That is the fact that within the Catholic Church today there are two churches. One is the establishment church of the USCCB, the big old “Catholic” universities, the old established religious orders, their mainstream publishing houses, websites and papers. This Catholicism is virtually indistinguishable from. mainstream Protestantism. (which is why they don’t do ecumenism anymore) This establishment church is in bed with the rest of the political, secular establishment and has been ever since the Bishop of Boston lunched with the mayor and the chief of police.

Since this establishment Catholicism settles nicely in Boston, New York, Washington and Los Angeles (with Chicago snapped on for good measure) we might term it “Coastal Catholicism.” The term is apt since this Catholicism is not only located on the coasts…this lukewarm, complacent establishment Catholicism also likes to coast…and if you’re coasting (as the old saying goes) you must be going downhill.

Praise the Lord
