Feel what you like. But it’s not about me is it. It’s about the problems I mentioned whether Norm Lenhart or anyone else comes back or not. Because they matter and I don’t. I mean it’s not like I can write the Pope and say ‘Look sport, run it my way or I’m on the highway” and he spazzes out and excoms Nancy Pelosi.
I doubt my importance in the big scheme is quit that great.
I don’t figure in their plans. I don’t effect anything in any life there. Not the Priests, not the slaughtered Christians. Not the pope. So how about this radical proposition. Place the scrutiny and concerns where someone can benefit by fixing what DOES matter.
Ahhh, but it does matter about you, and only you. It matters to each one of us , individually. You, like I, will one day when we least expect it, stand naked before God. We will be judged for what we have done or not done on our own merits. Whatever popes, bishops and priests said or did not say will be of little or no consequence. If you don’t understand that, I’m not sure much more can be said for you until you figure that one out.
As a traditional Catholic that abhors Vatican II, I sympathize with what you have to say. Nevertheless, my sympathies will do nothing for your salvation. The popes and the bishops of the neo-Catholic Church have led many souls away fromn God, and for sure, they will answer to God for their errors. They have been given much, and much will be expected of them. But that does not have one whit to do with either my salvation or yours.
Although you don’t hear it much these days, the answers to everything is with God. He created you and me for one reason––to know love and serve Him with our whole heart, mind and soul. We are to love our neighbor as ourself because it pleases God––not because it please our neighbor. The modernist bishops of the Catholic Church have cashed in with the secular world and are walking hand-in-hand down a very dark alley with the press and those secular leaders of the world. It is only the foolish who follow them.
But still, our faith must be with the only one Church created by Jesus Christ, the Roman Catholic Church. Yes, it is sometimes difficult to see through the haze, but the Church and Jesus Christ are still there in the Sacraments and in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The Novus Ordo Mass is a disgrace, but it is a valid Mass that still allows us to witness what Jesus told us to witness––the re-creation of His Sacrifice on Calvary. If you have the opportunity to regularly attend a Tridentine Mass you should do so. I am a daily Communicant but I have only access to a Novus Ordo Mass today. Hopefully that will change soon.
These thoughts of mine are for your soul, because your soul is as precious as mine and everyone else’s in the eyes of God. What is said on these sites is totally meaningless. There is only one Truth and that is with the true teachings of the Catholic Church. I would not allow another day––not another hour to go by without visiting a Catholic priest––progressive or traditional––and make a good confession to get straight with God.
