Scarily enough, it seems like some people, even those whom you've thought of as good and decent people, seem happy to be brainwashed. The other day, I had a "friend" literally growl at me in public when I said, "The trouble with the Catholic Church is there's too many liberals in it." This "friend" is in my prayers ... it might take a miracle for the friendship to survive though. I'm of the opinion that friends can respectfully disagree and remain friends ... apparently in some circles I'm a vanishing breed. BTW, I think it's horrible how the media has bashed the pro-life Catholic teen. Completely unfair and wrong. In fact, I admire the maturity with which that teen handled the situation. Many of us could learn from him.
