The Catholic Church is in so very many ways like Israel and Judah of 3,000 years ago.

We've been working our way through the Prophets over the last 2 months or so in the daily readings. Israel was God's possession, chosen by Him and favored by Him in a sacred covenant relationship. Yet Israel so often ignored the Prophets and betrayed God's law, and had to be chastised for her infidelity.

This is so much like the Church, the Bride of Christ, whose leaders (and, truthfully, lay members) so often ignore or oppose what God desires for His own people.

The consequences are usually spectacular collapse. Followed by repentance and restoration.

This ha happened before, repeatedly, over the Church's 2,000 year history. It'll be painful. It won't be pretty. But Lord have mercy, it's coming.

We all need to repent.
