“...leftward march of the Catholic Church...”
****************
I agree! We have 3 young boys in a Catholic school and are very involved in the school and our parish. As a “true” conservative Catholic, I see leftism from the school leaders, currciulum, parents, parishioners, priests, diocese, bishops, and USCCB.
True Catholic doctrine and Christianity seem to be entirely “conservative”, as I understand that ideology.
We are struggling with finding any benefits to continuing to send our kids there. I’d rather them not be faced with hypocrisy from their own faith. If they are in the public school, we can simply blame secularism and the government.
I am sick of fighting this never-ending battle against Leftism on so many fronts!
Who is William Mayer, the author of “Bitter Harvest...”?
And who really is Clint Kincaid? And what exactly IS the USCCB if not a cannonically approved organization? How old is this Bitter Harvest book?
The whole presentation is inflammatory and prejudicial, sewing more seeds of disappointment, outrage and distrust, dividing Catholics and confusing every issue that touches Tradition, Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium.
I believe we know who the real author of this confusion and destruction is, don’t we?
Our part as laity is to follow Paul’s teaching to “hold fast to Tradition”. The Holy Father is all but begging faithful Catholics to get to their Bibles! We answer by
reading everything else BUT, instead.
“There is nothing new under the sun”, so says Scripture. There are no surprises here. There will always be a falling away and a true harvest. We don’t know how to deal with it because we are not in our Bibles and to be “ignorant of Scripture is to be ignorant of Christ”.
We have recourse! The name of JESUS is our strong arm, our deliverance. We must “run the RACE and keep the FAITH” because we are the remnant of Scripture. If....we can stand as Ephesians 6 exhorts. Mary is our model. She STOOD under the cross, she did not faint.
