Mailbag :: Alan Keyes weighs-in

on inclusive language. Sort of.

Got this email someone other than Alan Keyes but he says this is what Alan Keyes said about inclusive language:


...he gave a long explanation about the creation story from Genesis, pointing out that, while God had pronounced every thing good as soon as he had made it, he didn't pronounce man complete until he had *also* created woman. He said that this showed the special nature of man -- that our race is not complete without both sexes -- and that to gender-neutralize liturgical language is not only aesthetically distasteful, but also contrary to the revealed truth of scripture and the church.

Of course I can't repeat it as eloquently as he ex-temped it. No one could!

Nope, no one could. I have the utmost respect for Alan Keyes. Our anonymous reader goes to say:

When I print programs for use at my church I troglodytize the pronouns -- defiantly, because our pastor is a 60's reprobate.

I don't know what "troglodytize" means, but I do know we need fewer 60's reprobates in the priesthood.

What? Who?

On life and living in communion with the Catholic Church.
