Ya know... Francis has been wrong about a lot of things, but he sounds right about this one...
I believe Christendom as a whole (all the segments including Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant) have been lackadaisical for a long time about praying. Why? “You do not receive because you do not ask.” Pray for God to bless the bishops. Yes, even if you don’t agree with what they are doing. Because the blessing may set them right.
Thank you. “Oft thought but ne’er so well expressed.”
“Yes, even if you don’t agree with what they are doing.“
I’m praying for howling mobs to drag these monsters into the streets and strip them of their fancy raiments, myself.
