Ping!
Good article. No more watered down homilies. Tell it like it really is, priests! (And Bishops, too.)
The Monsignor used the words "repent" and "convert"!!
He's ignored the Bland Generalities Clause of the Go Along to Get Along Treaty !!!
The Catholic funerals that I’ve gone to over the years (and I was raised Catholic) had one commonality that made me hurl. It mattered not if the priest knew or was a stranger to the deceased: They all comforted the grieving family by telling them their loved one was in heaven. How would they know? I mean seriously cut that crap out. And the deceased would range from weekly church goers to never attending, never proclaiming their faith (secularists). I guess all that mattered was giving the warm and fuzzies to the assembled crowd.
Archbishop Donald Wuerl needs to repent of his stubborn refusal to obey Canon 915. According to Cardinal Raymond Burke, refusing to obey Canon 915 is a mortal sin.
No it isn't...There's nothing in the bible about converting to your religion or anything else...It would be nice for a change to read something Catholic that doesn't pervert the bible...But I won't hold my breath...
Bible says repent...That means to turn to Jesus...Trust in Jesus...
When that happens, Jesus puts you/me into his church...There's no conversion...
