We have a Communist Muslim terrorist in the White House. He is there because for forty years, prominent Catholic bishops have been encouraging Catholics to vote for pro-abortion politicians. E.g., the “Seamless Garment.”
Now, the Communist Muslim terrorist has thrown open the border, engineering a tsunami of diseased “children” (criminals, rapists, drug mules, gangsters) as a distraction, while terrorists stream across the border unchecked.
The Catholic Church in the United States has been a force for evil for decades. The loudest-mouthed bishops are pro-abortion, supported Obamacare, are for open borders and amnesty. Rome sent us these traitors to be our “bishops.”
Whenever the Church has reached this level of corruption in the past, eventually there has been a cleansing.
Schism, however, remains a mortal sin. It is nothing to celebrate.
Ouch.
That is where I respectfully disagree. It is everything to celebrate when it brings a large and powerful church back on the right track.
The reform movement (in Germany at least, if not in England) started as an attempt to reform within the RCC and posed such a threat to the papal throne that it became rancorous, ending in a mutual agreement to divorce, followed by war between the "children of divorce." Reformers are often resisted and thrown out -- and then their ideas are co-opted, adapted or adopted.
That said, Queen Elizabeth II graciously came to Jamestown, Virginia a few years ago to celebrate the 500-year anniversary of the Jamestown Settlement, which led eventually to the American War of Independence from England. She also recently toured both entities of Ireland in a most diplomatic fashion, after centuries of bloodshed there. In like manner, the RCC could show a little congeniality to the Lutheran anniversary if they ever want the protties back under one roof again.
Well, congratulations. You have left me the most shocked over a post on FR than I have been in a long time.
I did not expect that from a Catholic.
That said, are lay Catholics really in schism when it’s the leadership in the Catholic church that is off course?
Isn’t it really the pro-abort clergy who are actually in schism?
