Yes, why priests and bishops whose immediate predecessors roared against the evils of communism have become a pack of wild socialists is a devilish mystery.

But in our time we have to take our eyes off the men and focus more than ever on the Lord, for He will never leave us or forsake us.
Yes indeed.
