The mendacity of these putative Catholics appears to have no end. The Church needs to purge itself of these heretics, and it needs to do so now! If we got rid of all of the sinners, there would be no need for a church.
The purpose of the church is to engage the sinners and show them the error of their way and lead them to grace.
We are all a work in progress and hearing the word of the Lord helps us to find our way.
It is frustrating to see how misguided some Christians have become, but they are not our enemy.
With all respect, we’re not talking about mere sinners here, we’re talking about those who scandalize—the Catholics who side with Mammon. “Better that a millstone be hung around his neck . . .”
We are indeed all sinners - and we all fail at many times in our lives, despite our best efforts to live up to the Word.
Engage the sinners, indeed! Show them the way - but those who are recalcitrant in their error, and actively seek to undo the Church, like these Democrat politicians, need to be shown the door.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
The Roman Catholic Church is not a democracy. The Ten Commandments, the Two Great Commandments, and the Doctrines of the Church are not mere guidelines but rather rubrics that require require strict observance by the faithful.
For those who think as these Democrat politicians do, there is an array of liberal Protestant denominations in which they would feel at home. Let them try to find Salvation there. Just don't let them call themselves Catholic and don't let them pollute my Church with their heresy.
Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
