I am sick and tired of the Catholic bashing that is going on in the American
media and in other places. Can I do something about it.
You might contact or even join the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights (1011 First Avenue, New York NY 10022).

Is the
anti-Catholic organization "Catholics for a Free Choice" linked
with the organization known as "Call to Action"?
Yes. They are joined together in an umbrella group called "Catholic Organizations for Renewal" or "COR." Of course, genuine Catholics will have nothing to do with such groups, which are a danger to faith and morals, or even a contradiction of them. This "COR" also includes groups which foster sexual perversity.

I have received,
unbidden, in the mail, a magazine "A Voice Crying in the Wilderness,"
put out by a "Most Holy Family Monastery" in Fillmore, New York.
It seems to be anti-Catholic. What is your view on this?
You are correct. That magazine, slick and expensive, is very anti-Catholic, and seems to have the purpose of luring unsuspecting Catholics into grave error and schism. There is no "Most Holy Family Monastery" in Fillmore, New York, listed in the official Catholic Directory. Therefore, it is not authentically Catholic at all. Fillmore is located in the Diocese of Buffalo, New York, and the bishop there has announced that the magazine and "Monastery" have no connection with the Catholic Church. Unfortunately, there are many anti-Catholic tricks abroad, some disguised one way and some another. Always check with your parish priest about "new magazines" claiming to be Catholic or religious.
