Keeping “these people in the fold” at all costs to the TRUTH and the SACRAMENTS is getting tiresome.
That excuse is worn worse than a dirty mop, especially for Catholics who respect the narrow road and try their guts out to stay on it, by their behaviour, their practice of the faith and their love for the Commandments and constant self correction.
That BROAD road is a hell of a lot more popular, easier than a feather pillow to navigate and you get your way, but it leads to perdition and the ride is a blast until you arrive.
These priests are unrepentant, ignorant and worship at the feet of their own self will, but lead entire flocks of namby pamby Catholics right along with them. No wonder the Church is in trouble here in the US. These people have had the run of the field now for decades without consequence nor accountability.
I blame the condition of the USA on the condition of the sleeping Church here, who has kept their head down and eyes closed for way too long about way too much, both in government and out.
There are large pockets of socialist Catholics with microphones trying to speak for the Church, confusing the people, both Catholics and non-Catholics, and they have access to power.
END THIS.
Looks like Fr. Rowe was crusin’ for a brusin’.
He knew what he was doing, now he’s going to pay for it.
Pity. But he leaned into a right cross(no pun intended).
