[Polycarp]

So the fact that there are so many child-molesting priests is proof that Satan is attacking the Church, which in turn is proof that it is the One True Church. Heh.

yeah, Satan knows the right address. And his minions do his bidding wittingly and unwittingly.

When you're equally hated by the liberals, homosexual activists, abortionists, population controllers, the UN, feminists, agnostics, atheists, communists, etc, as well as the fundamentalists and bible only folks, you know ya' just gotta be doing something right ;-)

I makes me realize more than ever we fight alongside Christ, and the forces of anti-Christ are arrayed against His body, the Church. Thanks for strengthening my faith!

In the words of Frederick William Faber;

Faith of our fathers, living still,
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword;
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whenever we hear that glorious Word!

Refrain

Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
Faith of our fathers, we will strive
To win all nations unto Thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
We all shall then be truly free.

Refrain

Faith of our fathers, we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife;
And preach Thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly words and virtuous life.

Refrain

Faith of our fathers, Mary’s prayers
Shall win our country back to Thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
England shall then indeed be free.

(Faber was an Anglican minister who converted to Roman Catholicism and founded the Brotherhood of St. Philip Neri.)
