These people have truly lost their minds.

And they are in danger of losing their eternal souls.

There has to be more of us then of them, don't you think? If something doesn't happen soon, the American Catholic Church is going to turn out exactly like the American Episcopal Church. We talking schisms galore!

I have a question for my fellow Catholic Freepers. Do you believe that your bishop to is a holy man and is sincerely faithful to the Majesterium? Some of you will sincerely (and correctly) say "yes, absolutely!" But a whole lot of you will say, "no."

It feels like we're living in pre-Reformation Europe. I remember reading accounts of 15th century convents and monasteries that portrayed them as little better than whore houses and witches covens. I once thought these accounts were just the fantastical imaginings of a more primitive Christianity. I have since changed my mind. I can very easily believe that convents turned into covens (look at the IHM nuns with their wiccan rituals or these new agey priests with their quasi-paganism) or that monasteries and abbeys became the site of bacchanalias (think of the disgusting sexual escapades of the lavender mafia and the lesbian nuns).

This filth needs to be excised soon.

I am glad we had Pope Benedict the XVI. He will continue to move the church along in its faithful doctrine and teachings of Christ.

I do though worry about the future, but am also gladdened to see more and more younger Catholics becoming more conservative in their faith. Perhaps the Holy Spirit is turning things around after the American Catholic Church being so fuzzy headed over the years.

If schism is what it takes to get the heretics out, then so be it. I can't believe I'm saying that, but these people are eating and drinking their own damnation. If the Church has to shrink in numbers to grow in the faithful, let it. I would rather have a smaller Roman Catholic Church that is a true beacon of light than a large one whose light is obscured by moths.

Make no mistake, these people exist for one reason alone. To tear down Christ's established earthly Church. They are only focused on themselves, not the Eternal Word of God.

They want to have their way and if they can't, then they will burn down Heaven in protest.

This makes me sick.

The lack of cajones on the part of local bishops has created a situation where the laity are more and more being compelled to point out heresy where it occurs. The 'remnant' are consolidating at traditional parishes (if geographically feasible) and those places are thriving while the "American" parishes wither on the vine.

Think of it as a heavenly pruning. God is allowing this. He's allowing the scandals and the local heresies as a means of forcing the "debate" (which He will win). His faithful flock is growing in strength if not number. Christ, it has been said, has become like a beggar in the tabernacle, waiting and hoping for souls to come to Him because of the IMMENSE amount of grace present in the Blessed Sacrament. So, while the faithful are being fed a feast of fortitude and wisdom, the cafeteria brigade is busy eating their homecooked lukewarm porridge instead of partaking in the heavenly banquet at the altar.

There but for the grace of God go I...
