AND TO THINK I PLAYED BASEBALL WITH HIS FATHER. THIS COUMO’S GRAND PARENTS MUST TURN IN THEIR GRAVE.
PRAYER FOR PRIESS
GOD our FATHER,
WHO wills that all men be saved
And come to the knowledge of YOUR Truth:
We beg you to send
Laborers into YOUR harvest,
And grant them grace to speak YOUR Word
With all boldness; so that YOUR Word
May spread and be glorified,
And all nations may know YOU,
The only GOD, and HIM WHOM YOU have sent,
JESUS CHRIST YOUR SON, Our LORD. Amen.
Okay— you may have a point. But, I shouldn’t have said because these quieter priests in the US aren’t giving interviews on channel 2 in California, that they lack courage. Many do have courage, know their vocation and are grounded in prayer and Trust.
But let me say this, silence has become golden, considering the noise of the cabal out there yowling indignantly for more poor and socialist “workers” to swamp our churches and our country, proudly passing our Lord through the border fence to who knows who, for the cameras.
Amen
I think that before you call us “hypocrits” (sic) you should learn the correct spelling of the word...

It was written by a Catholic, Teófilo.
THE WORD IS AS SKEWED AS THE PARISHIONER WHO IS PART OF THOSE PARISHIONERS WHO DO NOT MAKE UP THE CONFESSIONAL LINE ON SAT.
150 GO UP FOR THE EUCHARIST ON SUNDAY. I JUST WONDER HOW MANY OF THEM ARE IN THE STATE OF GRACE? 3-4 ON LINE ON SATURDAY GOING TO CONFESSION AND 150 RECEIVE.
AND I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE CHEWED GUM WHILE RECEIVING. I ATTENDED MASS ON PENTECOST A FEW YEARS AGO. IMAGINE? NO ONE KNEW THE ANSWER TO WHAT PENTECOST MEANT TO THE CHURCH. THE AVERAGE CATHOLIC WOULD BE CHEWED UP AND SPIT OUT IF THEY WERE CALLED ON FOR APOLOGETICS
I GREW UP IN THE 1930S AND 1940S. WE KNEW OUR CATECHISM. ST PAUL WOULD BE HAVING FITS IF HE WERE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE TODAY
MORE!
I AM ACTIVE IN PRO LIFE AND IT WOULD AMAZE YOU IF YOU KNEW HOW MANY IN THE PEWS ON SUNDAY THINK IT IS A POLITICAL ISSUE
I HAVE HAD THE LAY PRINCIPAL OF OUR SCHOOL TELL ME SHE DOESN’T WANT THE KIDS TO “PROTEST”
I BELIEVE THE AVERAGE CATHOLIC, TODAY, DOESN’T KNOW WHAT SIN IS. WHEN DID YOU LAST HEAR A HOMILY ABOUT SIN? AND WHY DO PRIESTS RECEIVE UNSIGNED LETTERS OR EMAILS PROTESTING HOMILIES ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE
Not in the Phoenix metro area. You're lucky if you get to go to confession after waiting in line for an hour.
