This past summer my pastor went as usual to his priest reflection days, or whatever it's called. What did they study? The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey.
The religious beliefs of Covey are Mormon. They are not Christian. A study of Covey's writings reveal the Mormon ideas and beliefs behind many of the principles found in 7 Habits. Churches and religious organizations should seriously reconsider whether it is appropriate to use a personal growth program that is written by someone who believes these false doctrines. They also need to decide if they want to promote Covey as an expert on personal growth and development that Christians should follow.
Throughout another of his books "The Divine Center" (this review from a non-Catholic source), Covey openly denounces Christianity as "incorrect" and praises the Mormons. He also admits to taking Book of Mormon scriptures and making them "generic" to reach the masses.
Couldn't Bishop Driscoll find anything of a Catholic nature to use? Just sayin'....................

BOSTON (Reuters) - The Connecticut Supreme Court overturned a ban on same-sex marriage on Friday in a victory for gay-rights advocates that will allow couples to marry in the New England state.
The court found that the state's law limiting marriage to heterosexual couples discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation.
Connecticut is now the third state in the country to allow gay marriage, following neighboring Massachusetts, the first state to allow it, and California.
and in "lighter" news:
Washington State (my closest neighbor) wants to kill old and sick people. Oooooops, sorry - allow them to die with dignity
By my estimation, if we kill them in the womb, dispatch them early when they become a burden, and have same-sex marriage, we should become an extinct lifeform on earth in no time.
