Someone send the Punk back to Seminary.
That wet behind his seminary $7.00 hair cut kid Peters has a lot of nerve- and a few tricks up his sleeve as well. He posts on his blog some ridiculous entry castigating any organization that is not an RNC tool as Fake "Catholyk" as if he were the arbiter of Jesus' teachings. Then he posts on his 'comments' blog some absurd dialogue labeling ALL such organizations by the first feminine name "Cindy" to make the name synonymous with apostacy. Well, another, Cindy took umbridge, as should all Cindy's. I am "Cindy" to friends and family, Cinzia (because that is how you say Cynthia in Italian) on the occasional blog comments, and Cynthia formally -which happens to mean "Family of God" because "Cyn" means Kin in old Welsch/English as in Bala Cynwood (valley of the Family Woods) and Thia is the feminine of Theo'-meaning God, as in Theology- the Study of God.
So this kid gets into a planted debate with a "cindy" on his blog comments- (she may or may not exist, he may or may not be dialoging with himself ) and insists that ALL Fake non Catholic orgs should be called "Cindy." Is this guy just a nut? This is the "American Papist?" (www.AmericanPapist.com) How much money does that George character actually pay someone like that to create this sort of unholy crap?
For the information of Mr. George and Mr. Peters, who is what- 14? I here provide some of the highly esteemed Board members of one of the orgs that he deems fake catholic (I left out the one who served the US Bishop's Conference as Treasurer or something equally important for years.)-the Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good.

So, Mr. Punk Peters, are you telling me that an esteemed Senior Jesuit Priest educator, a Director of a Catholic U. Pro-Life Institute, a Professor at Notre Dame law school are all fake "Catholyks?"
If all these people want to call themselves Cindy- be my guest.
You on the other hand should call yourself a priest for confession more or less immediately. It is Ash Wednesday coming up after all. Hey kid- you LOST. Like a Year Ago. Get over it already.

I think you are misunderstanding Mr. Peters comments about Cindy.
Mr. Peters says, "Notice how I use the term Cindy (very carefully): I use it to describe the ORGANIZATIONS which send out these messages, and the leaders of these groups who make a living doing this sort of thing – their actions are public and can be judged."
He is not referring to the term Cindy, but to the term "fake Catholics" or "Catholycs." It is written in a somewhat confusing manner.
Joshua: I am not confusing anything and you make my point-thanks for the quote. He is trying to put the "term" "Cindy" in a category synonymous with apostacy as he defines it- by calling all such orgs he disagrees with by the "term." Cindy is a common nickname short for Cynthia which means 'Family of God'- any and everyone named "Cindy" should be offended. Was he dumped by a girlfriend named "Cindy" once- is that why he absurdly chose that name? Why not "Jane" or "Carla??" Why call them a feminine name at all? Does he despise all women? Is he gay? This guy is a class A punk jerk. No excuse.
