CNN reporter lies about Dimond brothers

This is really a wild story. Brace yourselves.

This is a complete joke. I highly doubt that this guy is threatening to come to her home.

He was extremely imprudent that is the main point. One cannot use private information obtained in a job in that manner. He should just find a new job in that situation.

This CNN(HLN) reporter completely lies about a (Most Holy Family Monastery) DVD. The DVD simply is talking about the pains of Hell. This news reporter lies about what is on that DVD. The news reporter claims that the DVD is saying "homosexuals should be put to death"

This is the news video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj9Q7tNWBVE

That CNN(HLN) News reporter should be fired. I hope the Dimond brothers of the Most Holy Family Monastery(MHFM) takes CNN to court on this. The Dimond brothers should file a Civil lawsuit against CNN.

If I am not mistaken in that video they just read St. Alphonsus Ligouri's "Preparation for Death," no?

Exactly, that is all that is being read on that DVD from the Dimond brothers

CNN is using this incident as a platform for attacking "Traditional Catholics"
We will all be next. It's inevitable. Only those who knuckle under will be spared.

We, as traditional Catholics, should stand with this traditional Catholic DMV employee and with the Dimond brothers on this particular issue because in this case that DMV worker and the Dimonds were simply stating and teaching Catholic truth.

I think the DMV person was wrong. He/she overstepped boundaries. If you read the story of the North American Martyrs they respected certain customs of the natives that were not immoral. We are living in a post Christian society, this "act of charity" was considered an invasion of privacy and harassment.
Did Jesus tell the woman at the well "You are a heretic on the way to hell! plus your an adulterer!!" ?
No he was kind and won her confidence.
St. Francis de Sales converted many more by his kindness than hostility. He used to say: "you get more with honey than vinegar"

If you want an algorithm for successful evangelization (that I often fail at, to my own regret):
Make a friend
Be a friend
Bring that friend to Christ.

It may sound "liberal" but it is Christian. People are attracted by the reflection of Jesus in ourselves. The only people Jesus was harsh with were the Pharisees and money changers. He show remarkable patients with everyone else.
I know a man who converted at least 4 people from atheism to Catholicism by this method. This doesn't mean you water down doctrine but just be nice and when they ask questions have a good answer.

Pascal once asked what do we love in another person?
Physical Attraction?
Intelligence?
social class?
If you really love that person even if they lost all of those qualities, what do you really love?
He never answered the question but I have thought about it and I think it is the reflection of God in a soul.
Mother Theresa was a pretty ugly woman but people loved her, because she reflected an aspect of God.

Wise way to procede Duckbill.
I feel too many trads think confrontatiion is the one and only way.

BTW, Did you get that quote from Cursillo?

I don't know if the Cursillo uses it any more I heard they became kind of liberal but I read it in a book about the Cursillo and thought it made a lot of sense, after being confrontational for so many years, with very little results. I do fall back to being confrontational, so I am a sinner but I hope I haven't driven away any body from the Faith.

As a teenager I was very in your face about pro-life issues. It never worked, especially not with family. Now people in my family just throw up to me how much of a fanatic I was all of the time. (My beliefs have not changed but I just figured out that they were not open.) Recently a traditional priest advised me just not to talk about religion with my family. Everything that needs to be said has been said. If they want to know more they can go to google.
