That was a 'useful' response.
Try the above. Then, go back and try the "useful" one.
I cannot now find the passage in the Gospels, but Christ did not demand blind obedience to the letter of the law. Rather He demanded an understanding of, love for, and following of the "spirit" of the law.
Mere random quotes - some out of context - to justify the brutality of our Bishops - is pointless.
Of the brutality of our apostate bishops in this country, a good orthodox priest friend of mine-forced out of the NO priesthood by "Cardinal" Egan - used this very apt quote from the Gospel of St. Matthew:
"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men, for you yourselves do not enter in; and those that are going in, you suffer not to enter."
Remember - what is in Sacred Scripture is both in - and out of time. the scribes and pharisees are not merely a bunch of dead Jewish temple authorities. They are also the clergy of this day as well.
Indeed: praised be Jesus Christ! That a priest has listened to the voice of the Holy Ghost, and has eschewed modernism, and all the excesses of Vatican II - and the NO - and has committed himself to truly "priesting" his people. In the totality of Catholic Doctrine, Worship, and Tradition.
May Our Lady keep him in her tender care, and give him the graces neceesary to give himself completely for Christ in his sacerdotal vocation.
My only disappointment is that he has chosen not to remain in the Northeast - where we sorely need more of his kind. But may he be a blessing to those whom he serves!
