I agree that people need to respectfully disagree, and not hurl insults at each other . (Social media is notorious for mud flinging.)
That said, Taylor Marshall was not disrespectful, and he said what many Catholics are really thinking.
To sum up, the Church has an opportunity to stand up, be seen, and speak out against desecration.
Where is the Church?
Doesn't anyone see that there might be forces of darkness at work?
And not just in the desecrations, but with the Church closures, and telling people they can't sing, in England even praising God is forbidden?
Something is wrong with this whole scenario.
Praying for the Church...
“the article basically outlines why he thinks it’s not his job to defend the statues, that the laity should do it.”
False. From the first paragraph: “I will gladly admit that there are certain practical steps that bishops can and should take in regard to such a situation. We can indeed lobby politicians, encourage legislative changes, and call community leaders together, all of which bishops have been doing. But what struck me again and again as I read these rather taunting remarks is that these folks, primarily lay men and women, are putting way too much onus on the clergy and not nearly enough on themselves.”
