Bump for someone who knows how to write and tells the truth without beating around the bush. This letter gets right to the point. I only wish he could also write headlines, since the headline had me totally confused.
On his list of wonderful "gifts" we've received from the USCCB over the past few decades, he could have mentioned some of the outrageous documents they've issued like "Always Our Children," the pro-gay pastoral letter. If the USCCB were comprised of a gang of demons straight from Hell, would it be possible for them to do any more damage than is being done by this group? I seriously doubt it. If they had tails and smelled of sulfur, less people would be deceived by them. (Although there would always be that hard-core group who will justify anything.)
They deserve full credit for destroying the Catholic Church in the United States as fast as was humanly (and supernaturally) possible to do so. They get full marks for having achieved their maximum goal level at optimum speed. And their latest meeting last month indicates that they deserve further credit for not resting on their laurels, instead continuing full speed ahead with further continued devastation.
I've noted many times in the past that the Catholic Church is in even worse shape in other countries, especially in Europe, which might indicate that the national conferences of demons in those countries have done an even better job than the US bishops. But the reality is that the spiritual condition of those countries was already in a much more advanced state of rot at the time of Vatican II than the US church which was young, strong, vigorous and growing. So despite the even greater evidence of depravity, apostasy and decrepitude in Europe, the US bishops win top honors for having taken on a much more challenging task, and accomplished it magnificently.
The Catholic faith in the United States was so vigorous at the time of Vatican II that it was clearly beyond human powers to eradicate it in just a few short decades. But the leaders of this project knew that they did not need to rely simply on natural human powers. Only the supernatural forces of Hell could possibly have achieved what has been done here since then.
Thanks for the ping.
Nothing will improve until the Faithful Catholics refuse to give any money to the institutional Church. They can give directly to charities they know will help the people in need.
These Feckless bishops spent more time criticizing Gibson's "Passion" than they have spent on the Victims of sexual abuse by the the criminal homosexual Clergy under their control.
They have also seen to it that Father Thomas Doyle has been punished because he stood for the victims who were abused.
Probably 2/3 of the Bishops should be put out of their jobs.
Let them first, take care of the Catholics raped by their colleagues, and when they get the Church back into proper shape, thay can look into the needs of the Jews.
BUMP, Thanks, and now let's just get to packin' the silver bullets.
The gates of hell shall not prevail. Have you heard of Pope Leo XII's vision, that the devil would be given 100 years to destroy the Church? It's over, by the way.
