	What Is The Liberal Catholic Church? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The Liberal Catholic Church is one of thirty or more Catholic Churches in the world which are independent of Rome, such as the Greek Orthodox, Coptic, Old Catholic, etc. It teaches the Christianity of the Christ and administers the seven Sacraments which are regarded as channels of His blessing.
		The Liberal Catholic Church welcomes all and everyone to its services, those who have faith and those who have lost faith; those who believe in the literal exposition of the scriptures and those who accept the allegorical spiritual interpretation.
		Thus, the difference between The Liberal Catholic Church and all other Catholic and Protestant Churches lies in the fact that with the ancient sacramental worship have been associated the widest measure of intellectual freedom and respect for the individual conscience.

	The Value of a Catholic Liberal Arts Education
		Like any Catholic school worthy of being called Catholic, we want our students to make Christian sense out of what they learn in their natural science and math courses, in their history courses, in their study of art, music, and literature.

	Capitol Hill Blue: A Catholic Liberal's Nightmare
		Since Ratzinger is old (78), many liberals will return to their earlier hope that the conservative pope will soon die and be replaced by a progressive (who on his first day in office will, perhaps, distribute condoms from the balcony of St. Peter's).

		Catholic liberals, despite their rather high average level of education, have never understood what kind of religion they belong to _ a profoundly conservative religion, and one whose conservatism is not merely the byproduct of its being led by a gang of old men who never married; rather, its conservatism is of its very essence.
