Like the Eucharist during the liturgical movement and Mary in recent years, Protestants are slowly rediscovering the value in what they rejected 500 years ago and which the Catholic Church has known all along.

... but we Catholics have faithlessly devalued the spiritual gifts Our Lord entrusted to our foolish hands. Happy-clappy casual chatty Masses, sacred riches in the closet, and two whole generations of Catholics who are naked of their spiritual patrimony.

Adoration chapels that look like dentists' waiting rooms, with the Blessed Sacrament in a gold canister up on a brick mantel with sometimes not even a potted plant.

Catholic school graduates who are as ignorant as dirt concerning the truths of our Faith. (One of Nancy Pelosi's grown daughters, a Catholic University graduate, said a few months ago that the Pelosi family had, collectively, 100 years in Catholic schools, and not once was any of them told that homosexual acts were sinful.)

And Confession neglected. My parish of 800 households schedules confessions for 45 minutes a week. How about yours?

Listen to this old hypocrite Mrs. Don-o. I need a good Confession myself. Maybe I'll elbow myself into going this afternoon.

Thank God that Protestants are getting back into what God intended. The Holy Catholic Church.

Could be a sign from God that He is getting the Protestants ready for reunion with Rome.

The efficacy of private confession and absolution has always been recognized by the Lutheran Church; as with most secular writers employed by the MSM, Mr. Leonard has no familiarity with his subject matter.
