Amen. Preach the TRUTH and they will come home. If they don't, they have received their reward.
“Sadly for the bishops and cardinals about half of the congregation are morons.”
Some of them are regulars, but I’m guessing you’re seeing alot of the Christmas/Easter only crowd too.
I,for one,am not ready to play the blame game. It’s too late for that, not only in the political and cultural arena, but certainly in the spiritual arena.
We are headed—and soon—for a confrontation quite unlike any this country has experienced before. It isn’t one of racial problems, or union brawls or war on foreign soil, or economic crises. It is clearly a growing storm of moral issues that has hit critical mass and may very well be the underlying cause for all the other problems we face in this country.
There isn’t time left to point out whose to blame for what is happening now.
The only good that can be acoomplished now is for those with moral courage to stand up and be counted-—and to have the fortitude to stand by what they truly believe and are truly committed to in their lives.
For me, that means the right to life from conception to death, a halt to embryonic stem cell research, the constitutional protection of marriage between one man and one woman, and to protect our young people by initiating a common effort to bring back responsibility and accountability to our culture.
If the bishops want to begin a forward movement in this direction, I will welcome it and because of it, will look to the future with hope.
May Christians of all denominations be ready to stand with the bishops and the Catholic Church. We welcome and need each other.
Pope John Paul II warned us about this when he first visited the US as a Cardinal, in 1978 shortly before he became Pope.
He told us then that we were entering into a time that would be the battle between the Church and the anti-Church, between Christ and Satan.
Blame the 45% or more Catholics who voted for the baby killer. Hypocrites.

Yes, true. But where were the bishops on this before the election? I am very disappointed that they were not proactive.
