Judt back from Mass, the priest read a letter from the Bishop, all very reasonable and nice, mild language, like listening to Cardinal Rigali at a Democrat prayer breakfast. The Church had better find a stronger voice based on morality and courage, and not afraid to burn bridges to pols and bureaucrats.
We seem to be like the US against militant Islam; we’re in a war in which the enemy uses all weapons while we don’t even acknowledge the war. It’s time for the Bishops to start calling these well-heeled political appointees from the abortion lobby and academia what they are, expose the nameless, faceless bureaucrats who make laws through their regulations, yet are unaccountable to the citizens,and describe vividly the cruelty and inhumanity of abortion procedures, hollow out the straw men of “rape and incest” and “life and health” of the “mother”. When did “Catholic priest” become synonymous with “sissy”?
When did Catholic priest become synonymous with sissy?
When the Bishops became sissies. Anyone who fails to support the WHOLE of Catholic teachings; against embryonic stem cell research, contraception, sterilization; and for the principle of subsidiarity which would preclude playing footsie with the left; and fail to teach the whole of the Church’s teaching on illegal immigration which supports first the fixing of the sending countries problems, the duty of the would be immigrant to obey the laws of the host country and re JPII to send the illegal entrant home when regularization not prudent (which it is not in depressed America) is a sissie.
I beg all Catholics to take the time to really read the official teachings of the Church and take the time to remind your busy bishop of that teaching.
It is profoundly courageous and just and really contemplates the common good. BE NOT AFRAID.
You are absolutely correct. The Church needs to get off it’s collective ass and start punching back at the obama scumbags.
Our priest, Father George, really hammered this issue home last week during the reading of the bishop's letter, opposing the latest action by the Obama administration.
On Relevant Radio, Catholic radio, Father Richard Simons, also blasted the latest HHS initiative.
They're out there... these men of Christ.
