A Victims Fund
for silence. Silence allows the abuse to continue. Protects the good that they do. The cost of doing business. Clerics must be protected lest they lose respect. Without this respect, the good will suffer. Silence is golden. Here comes the apostasy. Come Lord Jesus.
A Fund Raiser
like Marcial Marcel. See a Scandal at the Vatican. Also like Bernardin and McCarrick. The great fund raisers of the Church. That was not all they had in common. They weren’t just clerics. Money makes the world go round. It also goes to Rome. Follow it.
A Problem
a deflection or a diversion. How can you blame a cleric who is just doing his job? The Kindle allows you to search words. You can find some form of cleric eight times in a “Letter to a Suffering Church”: Clerical (5) Clerics (2) Clericalism (1) There are other interesting words: Sodomy (4) Homosexual (1) Just another cover up. (0)
A Suffering Church
mentions clericalism. In short the priests can’t be any better than the laity. Really? We can’t find men who are holier than the laity? The letter also mentions homosexual. In short a disorder. Not a good place to start when looking for those who are holier. The last three popes have directed that they should not be ordained. The bishops continue to ignore these directives. They are also ignoring the teachings of the Church.
A Rider Of The Pale Horse
might be with us now. Is there a pale sea? Should we worry about climate change?. Some have suggested corruption within the Church will cause world wide deaths. Don’t leave the Church. Stay and fight for it. The bishops may notice that. Money may be the only thing that gets their attention.
A Great Bishop
at the end of the fourth century. The people loved John. Those in power not so much. It was suggested that the break between east and west started with John Chrysostom who found himself it a very difficult position. He recognized the authority of Rome.
A Historical Fact
as early as the fourth century. Bishops were being bought and sold. People from Ephesus journeyed to Constantinople to a bishop that could be trusted. John Chrysostom was asked to clean up the mess. It was the beginning of the fifth century. He reluctantly agreed.

A Good Thing
to do. We are being tested. We should test what affects our life. Be sure to test those who come in sheep’s clothing. They could be ravening wolves. Like a virus that can kill those we love. Be not afraid. Be careful. Be kind. Be reasonable.
A Purpose
a reason why something is necessary. The child understands this. It is why the child asks why. Reason, meaning, and purpose can explain why we are here. You need to consider why. Don’t you wonder why? You should.
A Trinity
that includes a child, a mother, and a father. We are all part of a trinity made in Their Image. We have been given dominion over all the earth. Those who talk climate change would like to turn that around. We have been told to be fruitful, and multiply. Those who talk climate change would like to change that. Francis and the bishops are talking climate change.
