I use to listen to Father Tom on the radio out of the Boston area.
I love Mother Angelica; she is one of the reasons that I converted to Catholicism. I also love watching Fultan Sheen videos. He spoke of all the stuff that is happening now.
One other thing, The Catholic church is being destroyed from within. They speak of social justice and greenism like they are valid points.
One last comment is that look what they did to the great Fr. Corapi. They got him off the air. My wife and I loved watching him.
Wow! I hope the Cardinal remembers what happened to Bishop Pierre Cauchon after he dissed Joan of Arc.
I’m not Roman Catholic but isn’t social justice a valid church teaching that’s been hijacked and abused by the left?
I don’t know what you mean by greenism... Our responsibilities as stewards of the earth?
How about Fr. Groeshal; (sp.?)he’s still on it, is he? I sure hope so!

Our responsibilities certainly do include taking care of the earth, but not at the expense of our devotion to God.
During this Lenten Season the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops sent out a letter encouraging the faithful to use plastic as a way of helping the earth, and enriching the Lenten sacrifice. Utter rubbish!
The Lenten sacrifice is to prepare your soul and further commit yourself to God not the earth.
Blessings to you.
How in the world do these bishops look themselves in the mirror? It's all about them, not God.
Of course it is and people with brains are able to differentiate between authentic church teaching and the pap that emanates from some bishops under the mantle of "social justice."
"Greenism" is when people harp on stewardship but justify abortion, forced sterilization, totalitarian government, and State control of religion, because those things are all "good for the planet". Stewardship does not put the planet or "green" causes above mankind nor does it worship the earth. I'm sure you can find what the Holy Father said on the subject with a little work. He spelled out the difference between stewardship and the green agenda pretty well not all that long ago.
I see. Thank you.
I’m off to church now and I’ll pray for your bishops along with ours.
The problem, as I think most of us know, is that the legitimate norms have been removed and replaced by a a Lefrward admixture of truth and error; but retaining the same "Social Justice" label.
As they say: "When the devil takes a fortress, he doesn't change the flag."
I was a Vietnam vet attending college on the GI Bill in 1970 when the first day was held. As I recall this first Earth Day, it was a bunch of hippies (creeps) hanging out on the Common, holding communist signs, smoking dope and tossing Frisbees. Now, over forty years later, these same people hold high positions in the Obama administration. And, now it's forty years later and I bet their Frisbee skills still suck...
There is something about this title that simply does not quite ring true. I’m betting that Mother Angelica would not approve of this book....
I see the Cardinal Prefect since 2008 is Benedict XVI's appointee Antonio Cañizares Llovera. I hope somebody can tell me he's made a change in course twards --- how shall I say this? --- Catholicism.
God Bless.
We shall see once his Bishop investigates his sex and drugs claims.
