[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a bit much to say this community of 200 conservative Catholic families  living in community IS the Hyattsville Catholic community. Others are also many progressive Catholic activists living in Hyattsville as part of the larger progressive community (PG Pool, St Camillus Church, progressive Catholic non-profit workers, former JVC and JVI members) which far outnumbers this particular isolated community.[/quote]

Another alternative is that you are confusing politics and religion.  There are a lot of orthodox Catholics that support and work at non-profits, for example.  Not everyone fits neatly onto your "progressive" good people vs. bad people outlook on life.[/quote]

NP here.  I don't think PP said anything about good or bad.

It was implied.  I don't live in Hyattsville but I have a friend that is a devout Catholic that lives there.  Neither he nor his family seem isolated to me.  Also the repetitive use of the word progressive (three times in one sentence) was enough to give me the gist of where the PP is coming from and how s/he feels about those that are deemed non-compliance with his or her political views.[/quote]

PP here all I was saying was that is is misrepresenting the Hyattsville Catholic community to say that it's one dimensional. Frankly, no Catholic community is. And it a world I'm quite familiar with.

I was not saying anything negative about Conservative Catholics. Frankly, the Catholic world in general is often misrepresented and this is one  more example of that kind of misrepresentation. [/quote]
