Liberal / Progressive Catholics Don't Like the "Orthodox" Word

Many Catholics don't like the terms Progressive or Liberal when describing a certain subset of the Catholic Faithful. They wail on that one can use terms such as the left and the right that have political implications to describe Catholics.

They do have a argument but it is sort of undercut that most people know darn well what we mean by "Liberal" or "Progressive" and it has little to do with American politics. Now we learn many are upset over the use of the word "orthodox" Catholic. Goodness well I guess the point is HOW DARE YOU HOLD OUR FEET TO THE FIRE WE ARE ALL GOOD CATHOLICS!!!

I suppose it offends them. Crunchy Con has a post how the word "Orthodox" has some Catholic in a uproar!!! Go see Lowercase orthodoxy
